Authors: Erich Andreas

Minor major seventh- for example
Dmmaj7, DmM7, DmΔ7, D-Δ7, etc.

Formation - (1, b3, 5, 7):
to easily convert any
major seventh chord to a minor major seventh chord (I know “minor major” right?
Just roll with
it
.); flatten the third by a half-step.
For instance, play the D major seventh chord from our 1st example.
Now flatten the 3 which is on the second fret of the first string.
If you move this one note back one half-step to the “F”, it will produce
a D minor major seventh chord.

Augmented major seventh - for example
Dmaj7(
#5),
D+M7, D+Δ7, etc.

Formation - (1, 3, #5,
7
):

to easily convert any major 7th chord to an augmented major 7th
chord; sharpen the 5th by a half-step. For instance, play a D major
seventh chord. Now find the 5th and raise it by a half-step. The D
string should be played open, while the 3rd string is fretted at the 3
^rdfret, and strings 1 and 2 are fretted at the 2nd fret.

Whew!!! Now go take a rest! I know your brain is
tired! Mine sure is! Remember to take this slow. You could no
more easily digest all of this than you could an entire Thanksgiving
meal! But over time, this will be no problem.
Remember
, I
can easily say “this is this chord, and that is that chord,” but that won’t
make your brain start thinking - which is what I am trying to do here with you.
If this feels like too much for you at one time, try to understand the
concepts on the first 3 examples. Those are the ones that you are going
to use the most. Dominant seventh chords are very popular in blues and
other styles of music, so if you like blues make sure that you understand
dominant sevenths. If you’re interested in learning jazz guitar, it will
be important that you eventually learn all of these examples. Now go grab
your guitar and start applying these concepts immediately so that they can
become part of
your
playing.

Summary

WOW, you made it!!! Not just through this book, but
through understanding some of the most important subjects in regards to guitar.
I have been playing for nearly 30 years and know MANY guitar players that
have been playing that long that don’t know many of these concepts. SOO,
it really is a big deal that you have made it this far.
All of these concepts, ideas, definitions and exercises were designed to
give you more “colors” in your palette.

YOU
are the artist!
Don’t let anything that you have learned here or from anywhere else
hinder your art. It’s NOT about rules! However, all these bits and
pieces are going to help you decipher the code of music. They will allow
you to play new parts that you would not have thought of before, had you not
stretched your mind.
Everyone has different goals and different skills that they bring to the table,
including YOU. Don’t be discouraged about what another can do “better”
than you. You have your own skills and goals. You are unique!
I can’t express that enough! If everyone was a virtuoso speed
player, guitar would be very boring. EVERYONE has a place in the musical
spectrum. SOO, practice and use what you are going to use for YOUR goals
and forget the rest. You can always come back to it and refresh your
memory. Having taken the time to go through the whole regimen however
will allow you to KNOW what you need and what you don’t. Plus, it will
just make you a better musician overall.
I’m proud of you! I want to hear from you and about your accomplishments
on this beautiful and exciting instrument called the guitar. Send me
pics
, send me stories, and let your friends know of the
lessons. I plan on teaching 50 years from now, so I’m not going anywhere.
Stick with me and I’ll stick with you!
And remember the final and most IMPORTANT of all the lessons: Practice,
practice, practice!!

A Cause Close to My
Heart

As many of you know, I am a BIG animal lover and advocate
for animal welfare. I also believe to be of great significance in this
world, we need to leave more than we have taken and we MUST take a stand for
those that don’t have a voice. Two things that I have always been passionate
about are guitars and animals. If you have a heart for animals like I do,
you will be happy to know that a portion of every
YourGuitarSage
purchase is given to animal welfare organizations like:
ASPCA
and
Happy Tales Humane
.

Many people have not taken the time to understand the
gravity or plight of many of the animals living in our world today. Since
the cause is so big, I have focused my cause on the issues of “spay and neuter”
and animal cruelty prevention through legislation, law enforcements and
education. “Spay and neuter” is also known as animal population control
or the sterilization of
domesticated(
house) pets and
feral(wild) animals where necessary and able. It’s a simple procedure
that can save millions of
animals
lives every year
from the carelessness/cruelty of humans (a supposed “higher” life form).
Here are some basic facts to show you just how quickly one cat or dog left to
breed can have a DRASTIC impact on the death toll.

If you
are a pet owner, I IMPLORE you to spay/neuter your animal. This is an
EASY way to change 1000s of innocent lives. Oh yeah, and Karma will shine
upon you :)

Also,
if you feel moved to do so, please give to the organizations above.
Together, we have the power to change this world!

me!
