Open Seventh Chords



Seventh chord formations are the same as the original open formations which you have previously learned, but they add the flatted seventh note to each individual chord. This added note is generally done by applying the fourth finger as needed, but other variations are possible.

Refer to the theory button for more info on flatted fifth notes.
