EAR TRAINING 005: Developing Seventh Chords

 
 NEW  Musicians rely on their ears for everything they do. This means that the ability to accurately listen to and quickly recognize musical, tone and pitch is vital. The EAR TRAINING course offered at Creative Guitar will help guitar players drastically improve their sense of note identification, recognition and recall...


Lesson 005 of Ear Training Lesson five of "Ear Training" focuses on the sound and structure of developing seventh chord harmony.

EAR TRAINING - DISCLAIMER:
If you have no prior experience with basic music theory, basic rhythm, key signatures and how scales work on the guitar, it is strongly advised to first study the Creative Guitar - Introductory Guitar Program, as well as, the Intermediate Guitar Program.

If you are a guitarist that has no background in basic music theory, key signatures, treble-clef staff /note recognition, or foundational rhythmic duration, then it is advised that prior to working on this course, you study the "Introductory" and "Intermediate" guitar player programs prior to working on this course.

Those preliminary courses, (for beginners and Intermediate players), will lay the foundation for understanding how the nuts and bolts of ear training relate musically and how the principles relate to guitar (as well as other instruments).

The
preliminary courses will also help guitar players better comprehend rhythm duration and key signatures.
___________________________

(1). Part one, of lesson five Ear Training introduces the "Major 7th" chord. This chord is created by stacking three intervals. The root note moves up a "Major 3rd" and then from there up a "Minor 3rd," and then another "Major 3rd." This creates a four tone chord type known as the, "Major 7th," chord.

(2). Part two, moves on to the study of the "Minor 7th" chords. The "Minor 7th" chord is created by moving off of the root note up a "Minor 3rd" and then up a "Major 3rd," plus another, "Minor 3rd." This creates a "Minor 7th," chord type.

(3). Part three, studies the popular blues and jazz chord quality known as the "Dominant 7th" chord. This chord is created by stacking a "Major 3rd," then a, "Minor 3rd," and then another, "Minor 3rd."

(4). Part four, practices the half-diminished chord quality of "Minor 7(b5)." This chord is constructed by stacking a, "Minor 3rd" to another "Minor 3rd," onto a "Major 3rd." It is a popular chord found within Minor key Jazz progressions.

(5). Audio Track Training Exercises: Use the MP3 audio tracks (contained within the lesson download), to study the sound of each seventh chord. The 7th-chords from the table provided on page 5 of your PDF handout are performed upon the guitar and on the digital piano. Sing and match pitch to each arpeggiated interval as they are performed on the audio tracks.
