I spent the first few years trying to sound like Jeff Beck, John Scofield, Jerry Garcia, and Peter Frampton so I’m right at home with the dominant 7 chords. It was the Major 7 and natural minor chord progressions I was afraid of initially. I love exercises like this though, they really get you to hear the intervals when improvising. Knowing all the chord degrees everywhere on the neck in relationship to the scales is probably the single most important thing a musician can learn. Thanks for all your hard work Rick, you are becoming a musical institution here on KZread. I just wish everyone would lighten up on the copyright stipulations and realize how everyone benefits from channels like yours. If they weren’t so blinded by greed they’d see it’s free advertising.

This is low-key a great lesson on how to integrate arpeggios and passing tones into scale work while targeting chord note bends. I know that's a mouthful, but I think this is the major element that's missing when coming out of scale-based training that gets people stuck in a box.

Rick: "Don't be afraid of chords!" Me: "Oh boy, this advice I like!!" Also Rick: *Proceeds to play tasteful licks and complex chords, dropping some hard theory I have never ever seen* Me: "Well, I'll be screwed..."

This is so cool. In the past if I watched this I would have said, "I need to get my guitar and follow along" and then play it and stop it and figure it out, etc. Now that I have a keyboard when I hear flat third, natural third, flat seventh, fifth, etc. my mind knows EXACTLY what that is instantly. I almost hate to say it but I like playing the keyboard better than playing the guitar. I told my best friend/former guitar instructor that I wished I had taken piano lessons from him as well. Oh well he gave me a copy of the Circle of Fifths and I have other books that show the construction of the different kinds of chords. I'm all set to start learning just from those things. I have some Fake Books and my goal right now is to learn to play "Here's That Rainy Day" (the Sinatra version).

I had an encounter with a dominant chord it a dark alley. It didn't resolve well, is all I'm saying.

What's a guitar

When I taught theory to my guitar students I would tell them my “only 3 types of chords” philosophy. That no matter what type of extended chord they are seeing or using, it’s either a Major, Minor, or Dominant and functions as those. I know there are always exceptions, but for folks new to theory, it helps make extended chords less intimidating.

I'm no expert in this, but have simply tried to learn more about playing music, and how it is constructed. To hopefully make me a better musician.

Good to hear ya❣️ Gotta bundle up so I can have some fun at working on playing this with you. Really liking these sounds of Rickism! 😄

Dom 7 chords to me always sound like 50's rock and roll or jazz. I like them either way. Life's too short to stick with nothing but power chords.

I remember thinking dominant 7th chords sounded 'old fashioned' when I first started, but soon learned to love them. I mean, c'mon, if you wanna play The Beatles & Blues then there's no choice but to...submit to the dominant!

As usual so great! I’m never disappointed Rick. Thanks so much, and I love your book!

It might be because a lot of the "how to play guitar" tutorial stuff and basic songbooks focus on stuff that might sound, uh, "cheesy". Where the only dominant chord you're learning is the V7, which always leads back to the I, and now everything you're playing sounds like basic 60s pop songs instead of the stuff you personally listen to and want to play Obviously there's a place for everything (and a lot of 60s pop songs are rad) and as you learn more you see dominants popping up in all kinds of different situations, making cool stuff happen. But when you're starting out yeah, the stuff you run into can feel a bit cringe

The Beatles loved dominant 7 chords. Some of their songs are almost all 7 chords.

"Afraid" is obviously too strong of a term, but outside of Blues and blues-based Rock dominant 7s with no alterations just tend to sound saccharine and cheesy if used bluntly. This video is not the case, of course.
