In this series we're exploring how you can make chords on the guitar yourselves. From a complete beginner to a player who can freely make, alter, break down and analyze chords. I'll take you through the steps you need to learn to master these techniques and make them your own. This will greatly benefit your playing and overall knowledge of the instrument and music theory in general.

One thing I forgot to talk about is that some chords can be named differently. For example:
Cmaj7: CM7 or CΔ
C7 : C dominant seventh
Cm7: C-7
Cm7b5: C half diminished or Cø
There are more variations you'll see, but these are the most common.
Paul Davids wow! I feel like I know so much now lol. Ur the best :)
It seems like everybody and his brother writes it differently--this used to confuse the hell out of me (and still does because I can't remember many of them!)
it ok, as long as you get the relationship from one chord to another. I imagine that there are a lot more variations to the 9th chord following the same alterations, or the 11TH
i was exercising this on the piano, there is a natural transition from the c maj7th to the c 7 to the f maj, has a nice dreamy feel to it
an from the f maj to f min and again C.
So pretty much I remember it like this: a major chord is a root note, a 5th and a major 3rd, when ever you play a chord look for its octave and flatten it to get a maj7 and then for a 7 just move the octave down a tone. I tested myself by writing every major chord triad and then writing their major and minor 7th under them, it’s a good exercise for learning your chord skills
I’m confused. The C7 chord I thought was defined as a four note chord but the chord he showed had three notes with two roots. The added note replaced the fifth. New to theory. Sorry I’m slow. I understand your explanation when reviewing the C7 chord. So three notes still but the extra octave just down a tone?
@@dhstoen2153 from what I understood he did already play all four notes for example in the D chord he needed D-F#-A which you have at the D chord and your actually play D twice once on the B string by holding disk the 3rd fret and once on the open D string
So since he was playing D twice he just switched out one of the Ds to another note hope that explains it in still getting to understand it and thought explaining it would help me understand
The clearest lesson with no much talk and no bullshits like other tutorials. Really love this kind of tutorial.

Paul thank you for this series.
It is the reason why I FINALLY started efficiently learning Music Theory.
I always look forward to the new episodes.
CHEERS!

The maj7 chords are very colorful, they add a great tone and are very sentimental when you play them, i wish i can marry a maj7 chord. I have really enjoy your video! (sorry for the bad english)

Yes, I am a music theory nerd! Week 7 and this is all I can think about! I can't play a chord without diving deep in to what makes it a chord! Thank you Paul! You are a blessing to the music world
How cool! I’ve already learned Autumn Leaves from you, and now I’ll be able to figure out what chords I’m playing. It’s so exciting how things start coming together a little more with each of your awesome videos! Thanks so much!
Gerda Gregerson RUclips is telling me that you commented this a day ago.. Haha
Mark Byrd I did! When you’re a Patreon you get early access to all the awesomeness 😆
oh that's awesome! haha good on you.

7th chords are the absolute best!
Why not try experimenting by replacing 7th chord with 9th 11th and 13th chord try learning these extinction i promise you won't regret.

Guys, I watched this last year with no clue as to what he was saying, now I understand this perfectly as if it was counting numbers. Improvement is possible, just keep practicing😁, Thanks Paul✊
You are an insane hero to all of us my man! Thank you for all the prominent information to give to us right out of the heart! There's a reason why you are my favorite guitar youtuber!
ive been playing guitar for over 10 years. Ive had a fair amount of formal theory training but kind of tuned out and never fully understood jazzier chords. I would kind of just figure them out by ear. this is revolutionary for me. youre so good at putting things so theyre so easy to understand.thank you.
I'm so glad this series exists, up to now I've been doing everything by ear and even though I figured out some of the chords myself I'm sure this knowledge will be incredibly usefull
Finally all that minor/major 7 thing simply explaned!
....Great " little bit spooky face"!
Wow this is really great! 6 years into playing and I never understood the difference between a C7 and a Cmaj7, and you just addressed it in a clear an easy to understand manner :D keep it up Paul! You're great!
the amount of respect i have for you to take time to make a video perfect is very inspiring, very helpful video, Thank you!!!
Paul for the first time ever in 10 years i am taking notes and getting started with discipline, i cannot thank you enough for making learning seamless and enjoyable, i love your series! Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Paul, you know what? Since I watching your video, and see how you play your guitar, it motivates me to keep playing and practice. You emphasize on how important practice is. Thanks for making such a wholesome video for everyone, you are awsome! Greetings from Indonesia
I FINALLY understand what the 7 means in the chord
Thank you Paul for sharing this guitar knowledges to me. This is a big contribution of knowledge. :) I will cover this on my tutorials. Thanks again. :)
Paul, I'm so happy you've continued the theory series. Those episodes are really helpful, thanks for your great job! :)
Thanks for the Les, Paul!
Love your vids. Great work!
Incredible. I’ve been ‘playing’ for over 30 years,but always only absorbed small amounts of theory. I’ve recently started working on beginner jazz and found I needed theory to progress. You’ve presented it in a way I can get my head around. I feel great things just over the horizon for my learning. THANK YOU!
Great lesson, as all of yours. I'm practicing the seventh chords in my guitar, and also, the inversions on the 4th and 5th strings which brings thousands of options and colors to my Blues chord progressions. Thanks for a great video.
YES!! Thank you for continuing this series! For the first time I'm actually learning theory and directly applying it to the guitar.
Thank you a lot! I have been playing guitar for a little more than a year and i have been seeing and learning stuff but somehow with your videos everything seems to come together and make sense!!! It's like a combination of what i already knew and what i learned here.
You have similar style in approaching music theory with Scott Devine. He based most of his work autumn leaves as well. I would love to see both of you, teaching together.
…and I just noticed how Bossa Nova and Brazilian pop music is chock full of 7th chords. Thank you. Great lesson!
When someone on YT thought me, that the perfect 5th is not needed when choosing a chord quality, my mind was blown. Any chord that has root, 3rd and 7th is a 7th chord... it sounds like one, it quacks like one and it is one...
That made it so much easier to think how to voice chords.
And yes, the same applies to any extension, 6th doesn't need the 5th, 9th or 11th don't need one either... unless you want to put flat or sharp 5th into a chord that normally doesn't have one.. then you're really pushing the envelope.
:)
This is a fantastic lesson.........very understandable and incredibly useful. I’ve been playing guitar for many years and have never heard anyone explain this theory in such simple terms. Thanks so much!
nice brief lesson on 7 chord shapes. Very useful tip learning the 5th and 6th string chord shapes and then move them depending on the desired chord to be played, with very little thought once the shapes are memorized. I've recently discovered you and have been really enjoying your instruction methods. Thank you.
Finally! I've been waiting for so long. Thank you, I always think that C7 and Cmaj7 have the same shape lol🤣
Great tutorial. I'm finally starting to see the light with the 7ths. Thank you much.
I took music theory in highschool and learned more from this then I did in 3 months. But this is teaching me with a instrument I'm familiar with
i think you are the no.1 enemy of any guitar school nowadays paul. thank you for the knowledge
I've been playing music for 20 years, and guitar for 14 and I never understood the 7/Maj7 thing untill this video. Thank you
~Thank you for showing us your knowledge of guitar. 68 but love learning as much as I can...you are wonderful...😊
Hi Paul, Thanky for the great lesson. It was really a revelation for me to understand the relationsship between those 7th chords.
Something I found useful is understanding that a maj7 chord is a major chord combined with a minor chord eg Cmaj7 (C-E-G-B) is a combination of C (C-E-G) and Em (E-G-B) and that a min7 chord is minor chord combined with a major chord eg Amin7 (A-C-E-G) combines Am (A-C-E) with C (C-E-G) . You can think of them as not only being a variant of the lower chord but also the upper chord eg. you can try swapping a C chord for an Am7 if the C chord is a little too bright.
I'm a veteran guitar player (30+ years playing), and I will say that your videos are entertaining and I sometimes will watch your approach to teaching. Knowing theory is one thing, but conveying those ideas to others can sometimes be challenging. You have a cool approach. Keep up the great work, brother.
5:44 the smile of satisfaction is really what’s keeping me going man
wow...to think all these years I never understood 7th chords. All it took was 10 mins. Thanks Paul !!!
A fun way to understand the characteristics of 7th chords is to think of them a merger of two triad chords, e.g., Cmaj7 (C E G B) as a merger of the C-major triad (C E G) with the E-minor triad (E G B); or C7 (C E G Bb) as a merger of the C-major triad (C E G) with the E-diminished triad (E G Bb).
So Cmaj7 can then be thought of Em/C ( "E-minor over C" - the chord of E-minor with a C-note in the root) and C7, Edim/C.
Similarly, Cm7 (C Eb G Bb) can be thought of as Eb/C; Cm(maj7) (C Eb G B) as Ebaug/C; and Cm7b5 (C Eb Gb Bb), Ebm/C .
Thinking of C7 as Edim/C explains why adding that minor 7th interval to a C-major triad gives it such an urgent need 'go' somewhere (usually to the F-chord), whereas Cmaj7 (Em/C), just one semitone different, sounds so 'sweet' (02:55). Thinking of Cm7 as Eb-major/C explains why adding a minor-7th to a minor chord makes sound 'happier'. Thinking of Cmin(maj7) as Ebaug/C explains its 'obnoxious' quality (03.38). Thinking of Cm7b5 as Ebm/C explains why it's only 'half-diminished' - a fully diminished 7th would be Ebdim/C.
A good song for those just learning seventh chords can be "Kiss Me" working back and forth with that full octave, major seventh, and dominant seventh chords.
Paul we are in the dire need need for the next episodes, please.
This series has been worked out really well for me, cant express the gratitude I feel for the work.
cheers!
Man oh man, do I regret not starting with music theory and getting obsessed over just basic chord songs.Thanks, Davids....for finally helping me get the hang of the things I kept playing but never understood and giving me more of those "Oh man I never knew this" moments. Please keep making these awesome videos.
I feel like your videos have helped me a lot in the process of learning guitar, from both a technical perspective and for music theory. Keep up the fantastic work!
You are a real inspiration, Paul!
Your channel has inspired me to start my channel.
Thanks for all your great uploads!
Awesome, enjoy the journey :)
Thank you, I will :)
Just make deep lesson on how to create fingerstyle arrangements!!!
I really like your lessons and the way you play or understand music. It’s so informative/important
Please, Paul, don't be afraid to make a videos with advanced music theory 🙏
I'm mainly a guitarist but I find myself turning to you for teaching me to play the piano... strange, but I think since I'm a guitarist, the way you explain things makes sense to me when I play the piano. So thank you for helping me be a better pianist, ha!!! Moving onto the next lesson now.
Thanks. I wasn't really interested in those 7th. I played some of those without knowing which one I played. But now I know ! You're great teacher !
From another teacher
You're an awesome teacher for beginners like myself!
Just started learning how to play the guitar and keyboard.
I now clearly understand these on the guitar and piano keyboard because of your visual illustrations and simple explanation of the sus and 7th chords in relation to their major and minor chords.
Waoo this video is the most important for me since a very long time I was doing many of this chords without knowing how they are build. I was trying to understand this for many years but do not find the good teacher maybe. But dam you did it and make my day. it's so good now I will practice that video for many days to learn them all now and I understand all this now. it's like someone put a light inside my brain. So thank you a lot Dave your are a great teacher 👏🙏👍😉
It's always a good day when you post a video, even if it's something I know you always seem to find a way to make it more musically relatable for me. Rock on Paul!
Im so happy I found this series and this Chanel. It is exactly what i need in content but surprisingly well executed. The didactic is beyond excellent and the visual and edition elevated to its perfection. THANK YOU. it will change my life as an self learn musician.
I love the joy you put in my fingers
Probably the easiest and to the point explanation of the different basic 7th chord variations. Great job and many thanks
The only one I understand so clear and so well done.
I really love your presentation and watch many of your videos at work when it's quiet and on breaks. You speak better than many English people.
I have to admit - ive started to have fun from learning because of your videos. But, then i got into seventh chords and i was so annoyed, when i was playing Cmaj7 with b7 in it and it didnt sound how it should. Paul, one more time - thank you, now i got it. Please give us some lessons on 9th, last week i realised those chords are beautiful as a "link" in a chord progression, but i would really appreciate if you teach me how i can use it in practice. Thanks!!!
I could listen to this man talk all day
Thank you soooo much. I have been trying to get this down for the last couple of months. EXCELLENT breakdown of challenging material.
Really lovely lesson, I hurt my shoulder and I was looking for a good theory tuto to progress anyway.
it took me quite some time to understand , excuse my ignorance. I played the video over and over and I was amazed after it all kicked in.Thank You for the lesson Master :)
Extremely helpful! I think I’m beginning to finally understand👍🏻
The minor major 7th is very close to an augmented chord.
It's also funny that any note in an augmented chord can be the root note (C+ = E+ = G#+). This is because all the notes share the same interval from the one below it and the one above it (a perfect 3rd).
When you play C then C major 7 followed by C7, you've just played the first three (verse) chords of "Something" by The Beatles.
I actually knew everything in this video, but was curious if there was any details I hadn't heard before. I still enjoyed the whole video because of how well it was presented.
This is one of my favourite guitar related series! Thank you for that
Great that you pointed out The difference between C7 and cmaj7 cause i didnt know
Paul ! First off - thanks - this is a great video - Yes, the abbreviations, and what we call them on chart is important, but the main point is to KNOW the difference, by the sound. Your recording allows for me to hear the difference, thanks for this. I would love to see you append this video with those concepts, also how it appears on staff (which can really demonstrate the Octave/7 Connection - which is important *(perhaps discuss how the OCTAVE is wayyyyyyyyyyy closer than the 1 :) I appreciate your teaching style!
I like the D shape because it is a nice triad to move around and helps me with starting and landing notes fo my melodies. Great video thanks
What a cool teacher... Awesome! learning all the episodes from 1-5 this time.
Each episode ,gets harder and sweeter 👌🏿 I’m looking forward for your great new theory lessons. Tnx Paul from Iran 🤟🏿
Thank you so much. I'm getting there more easily now, thanks to your music theory videos. You're amazing!
after years and years of playing.. I finally "FULLY" understand these in a technical level... damn. thanks! you're channel is awesome btw!
Bedankt Paul! Helder uitgelegd, eindelijk begin ik het te snappen. Nu lekker mee aan de slag :-)
Just finished some episodes of the series Beforeigners and I gotta say you absolutely look like the guy time traveled to our time from the 19th century, London. :)
Your videos have helped me to understand the theories. The way you explain those theories is awesome and easy to understand. Keep making them. Love from India.
I've been waiting for a new episode in this series since forever. Wasn't disappointed.
The quality of these videos is unreal. Keep up the good work and thank you Paul
So funny I get these corny ads when I watch these videos saying how no one learns guitar from RUclips...... But these videos are spectacular
Excellent tutorial thank you . Just would have been nice to show the fingering positions on the actual guitar a little more and slower that the notes typed out , but still an excellent and educational tutorial, thank you 🙏
Great channel and I love this particular series. Keep up the good work Paul.
Greetings from England!
Paul - like many others want to thank you for series - made me start properly on music theory - you are inspiration
1:35 Already cleared up everything I was confused about lol. Was trying to learn a E7 from another video and could not understand why when I count the interval myself - it sounds different to the example given. Seems like a pretty big piece of information to leave out! This Cm(maj7) reminds me of "I want you (she's so heavy)" by the Beatles
God bless this chord nomenclature description. I’ve been wondering this for years!!!
Excellent !
This video and all the associated ones explain so well the music theory !
And all the chords you show in order to illustrate your speech do help me so much to understand what my fingers play on the guitar !
Thank you so much.
Hello, Paul Davids. First of all, I wanna thank you for that explanation of 7th chrods. I've been looking for so long for someone who can explain it very easy. By the way, I'm from Russia and I'm not a native English speaker, but the way you speak makes me understand things very clear.
Please, make a video about 9th chords and how to use them in progressions. I don't know if you notice this comment, but thanks for many amazing videos and good luck to your RUclips channel. I hope you'll get more subscribers soon.
Thanks God for Paul Davids !
Learning and enjoying at the same time, so cool .... thank you very much Paul
One song came to mind when you were playing the D chords: Time in a Bottle. Also good for learning some of these different chords.
5:45 Paul Davids is a cool and good guy ;).
It isn't my first maj7 chord, but his way he says the things are just so inspiring!! :)
Great lesson! Thank you so much, Paul, you're one of the best! Truly appreciate your work)
It was just what I was looking for and glad you covered all 7 bases, so to speak ✌️
Well done, Paul! Clear, concise, logical. Thank you.
you are an amazing teacher, in this last month I have learning a lot watching your videos, your graphics help us so much! ...thanks for it!!!
Great video
