Seventh Chords: Intermediate To Advance
by Camille van Niekerk
Description:
If you’re into jazz, R&B or rock, you should learn how to recognize and sing 7th chords. While our basic chords, or triads, have 3 notes, a 7th chord has 4, adding the 7th scale degree. This lesson series is perfect for more intermediate to advanced singers, and we recommend completing my other chord tutorials first. If you’re comfortable singing major, minor, diminished and augmented chords, you’re ready for 7ths.
