Hello, how are you?
Some time ago, a guy called Ytsejam6doit
Wrote to me telling there are some important positions for Amaj7
and I did not mention them in the explanation, in other maj7 chords that positions appear
but it is true I do not mention them regularly and that positions may be better in some environments
Well, Ytsejam6doit is my lil' brother
he has explained it yet on his comment from Amaj7 video
then let's talk about 7maj chords
and we can analyze that positions he tells
As you know and a tell you in my videos
a major chord is formed by keynote 3rd major and the perfect 5th
In a 7maj chord, as the name of the chord tells
we have to add the 7th major interval to the chord
keynote, 3rd major, perfect 5th and 7th major
as we saw in Amaj7 chord
if A major is A C# E
adding 7th major interval is adding a C#
and these are the 4 notes that form a Amaj7
Positions suggested by Ytsejam6doit
capo on 5th fret
finger 4 fret 7 string 5
finger 2 fret 6 string 4
finger 3 fret 6 string 3
as represented, we should play string 1 too
I do not agree with that
it is true this note is the key note
if we let it sound in that high position
it breaks maj7 effect
As I explained in other videos, when we use more than 3 notes tu make a chord
we add some tension to the sound
but for me maj7 chords do the oposite
a maj7 chord
makes me feel quiet
waves slowly going to the shore or something like that
a major chord sounds like this
when we add tension with maj7, I think what we are doing is to remove tension
We give some peace to the sound
major chord
maj7 chord
In my case I would not play this string 1 fret 5
not to break the effect produced by G#
that's why I proposed this position
there are many ways to do a chord
It's true this position proposed by my brother
is more jazzy, and that is what he likes
well, he likes many styles, he has thousands of projects
and each project has its own music style
this position I rarely use it
there is another position I use more and I have not explained and he told us
keynote on string 6 fret 5 again
it is as if you put a Dm chord
we low down a fret the 3 fingers outside the capo
and instead of capo we do the note on string 6 fret 5
this one has much sonority because we can use A on 6th string fret 5
same A open
and we can repeat E on open 1st string
that repeated two notes provoques that extra sonority
I forgot to show you this because I use it in many moments
last one is
finger 1 string 4 fret 7
the other 3 on fret 9, strings 3 2 1
This one I have shown you
in other maj7 chords
I have done so many chord videos that I do not know which are published and which are not
I think you have it in another videos
As we already had a video explaining Amaj7
lket me show you maj7
we can move all these positions to get different notes
As I have already explained, 7 maj chords... If I have
an A in string 6 fret 5
and we knoe from E to F and from B to C there is only half tone
and in the rest we have a whole tone (two frets)
we can calculate any maj7 chord
with keynote on 6th string
lets do a Cmaj7
A B C
because of the half tone between B and C
we put the same position
Or the other, this time we do not let 5th string to sound
we can touch without pressure that 5th string to mute it
and we not play 1st string either
If we want a D, a whole tone high
and the positions with keynote on 5th fret
My brother di not show any position with keynote on 5th string
this one was shown by me
if we want to put a Dmaj7, what we do is
A B C D
and we put the positions
with keynote on 5th string we have another position as if it was a C openchord
Cmaj7 instead of using 8ve C on string2, maj7 interval is B
we can move it by the fretboard
Emaj7 for example. C D E
We put that chord as if it was a C openchord
with keynote on 4th string, this one that showed my brother
this is A
If I want a F ... A G F
And we put the same positions
Fmaj7
We can put Fmaj7 with keynote on 6th string
with my brother's other proposition
with the other he told us too
If we want that F on 5th string A B C D E F
and we can use positions I told you
or
And you should say, David, this chord is not usual... well yes, it is
without many thinking I figure out 3 songs in our styles
Under the bridge from Red Hot Chili Peepers
Do you remember?
Drive from Incubus
Something from G. Harrison at The Beatles
this is not a new chord, you know
many years using it on pop and rock
And I do not know if you feel the same but this chord makes me calm
anti tension chord
In my opinion, If you want to resolve your harmony in a maj7 chord
Ear don't ask you to close with another chord
If you resolve on a sus4 chord
Your brain says.... no, no! I need a F#
Here you are, be quiet, relax
But if you are playing
and you go to a maj7 chord
it's wonderfully closed and I do not need another chord to end
Hope you've enjoied the video, as my brother did
I will thank you for your comments, corrections and everything you want to tell me that helps me improving the contents of the channel
Thank you very much... Ok, be good!
