Welcome to the Modes Explained 3.
Now [A] this lesson is going to expand on what I [Eb] spoke
about last time, so if you haven't already seen the rest of the videos in this series,
I suggest going [E] back to the first one and [Ab] starting from there.
So anyway, what's going
to be covered in this is we're going to study the modes to find 7th chords.
Last time we
did the [G] basic chords of the major scale.
This time it's going to be the 7th chords.
[Ab] And
they are the way they are, like I usually do.
And then at the very end I'll show you
how to make more complex chords.
[G] I'll show you how to make one particular and how to
implement it as well.
So, let's do it.
Last time we just arranged the triads within the
modal shapes and they gave us those basic, major, minor and diminished chords.
A triad
by the way is a group of the 3 intervals, root, any 3rd and any 5th.
So we were playing
bar chords for each mode and every chord's notes were purely roots, 3rds and 5ths.
This
time we will add in another [F] note.
This time the chords we will build will consist of 4
intervals.
The root, the 3rd, the 5th and the 7th.
When a 7th is added to a triad it
makes a 7th chord.
Here's a chart I made to show you the 7th chords we'll be using.
Refer
back to this chart later.
And here is the chord scale for 7th chords.
But let's get
analysing.
As we saw last time, the Ionian mode features a major triad.
A root, major
3rd and perfect 5th.
Notice I've also included the 7th interval.
And also notice that it
is one semitone below the octave.
Now when you have a 7th that's right below the octave
like this, it's called a major 7.
And when you add a major 7 to a major triad, you get
a major 7 chord.
And so this is why the 7th chord for the C Ionian mode is a C major 7.
The Dorian mode features a minor triad.
A root, minor 3rd and perfect 5th.
This time
the 7th is a whole tone below the octave.
And this type of 7th is called a flat 7.
When
you add a flat 7 to a minor triad, you get a minor 7 chord.
And so this is why the 7th
chord for the D Dorian mode is a D minor 7.
In fact, you can play minor 7 chords for
all three of the minor modes.
The Dorian, Phrygian and the Aeolian.
Study the modal
shapes yourself and you'll see why.
The 7th chord for the Mixolydian mode is a little
different.
Observe the major triad and the flat 7.
Now the Ionian mode, it's 7 was a
major 7.
Yet the Mixolydian's is flat.
So the chord isn't going to be the same.
When
you add a flat 7 to a major triad, you get a dominant 7 chord.
So this is why the 7th
chord for the G Mixolydian mode is a G7.
It's very bluesy sounding and it's written purely
as the note followed by the number 7.
[Am] The fourth and final type of 7th chord that you
will encounter in the major scale belongs to the Locrian mode.
The Locrian mode has
a root, minor 3rd, flat 5 and a flat 7.
When you add a flat 7 to a diminished triad, you
get a minor 7 flat 5 chord.
So this is why the 7th chord for the B Locrian mode is a
B minor 7 flat 5.
Now let's make a progression in the key of A Dorian using 7th chords.
The step by step process is exactly the same as it was in the last video when we were using
basic chords.
Start with a blank chord scale chart.
Write out the modes in order, beginning
with Dorian as it is the chosen mode.
Now write in the notes of A Dorian into the chart.
Now write in the basic chords belonging to each mode and finally fill in the correct
7th chord for each mode.
Now I'll just take two of these for the sake of simplicity, A
minor 7 and B minor 7 and I'll give them a go.
[Bm] [Am]
[Bm] [Am]
[E] [Bm] [Am]
[Gbm] Now let's get even more complex and make
that A minor 7 [G] chord into something a little more interesting.
When you add a 9th interval,
otherwise known as a 2nd, to a minor 7 chord, the 7th and the 9th join together and the
resulting chord is just known as a minor 9 chord.
If you then go further and if you add
on an 11th interval, otherwise known as a 4th, then the 7th, the 9th and the 11th interval
all group together again and you call the whole chord a minor 11 chord.
So that's what
I've done here.
And as you can see, these are the notes [E] in A Dorian which [Gb] make up an
A minor 11 chord.
[Am] When you arrange these notes on the fretboard, you get a shape like this.
Let's give it a go.
So here's the original A minor 7 and now that B minor 7 [Bm]
and [F] here's
where we changed it to the A minor [A] 11 and then B minor 7.
[G] You just gotta love that Dorian
sound right?
And that A minor 11 chord, that's a damn nice chord.
So anyway, I like to think
of the 7th chords as more polite versions of the standard major minor chords that we
did in the previous lesson.
So yeah, more polite and I use them as such.
So there you
go, the 7th chords.

the Moogs Explained 4.

Now [A] this lesson is going to expand on what I [Eb] spoke

When a 7th is added to a triad it

the 7th is a whole tone below the octave.

When you add a flat 7 to a diminished triad, you

So this is why the 7th chord for the B Locrian mode is a
B minor 7 flat 5.
Now let's make a progression in the key of A Dorian using 7th chords.
