What Are Minor 7th Chords? Guitar Theory Lesson

For lick 7 we simply return to the motif lick (lick 5), with a very slight rhythmical change. This is a cool technique to get people really memorising and singing your solo!

For a minor 7th chord, you simply take the minor triad (1st, b3rd, 5th) and add the b7th. It is the addition of the b7th that changes the vibe of the chord from a dark, quite intense sound to a more relaxed sounding chord. The b7th comes directly from the minor scale where you flatten the 3rd, 6th and 7th (check out The Essentials course if you didn't know that!) Here is the minor 7th formula applied to A: (See website).
