What are the chord CAGED shapes of 7th chords and all the types of 7th chords such as diminished seventh, half diminished 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, and perhaps augmented 7th
Hi Rylan... this is a great question! I've found that to make the most of CAGED shapes that go beyond regular major and minor --> 7ths chords you have to start combining them. - C Shape + A Shape - G Shape + E Shape And then if you know your chord formulas you're well on your way! - D Maj7 = R, 3, 5, 7 - D7 = R, 3, 5, b7 - Dm7 = R, b3, 5, b7 - Dm7b5 = R, b3, 5, b7 - Ddim7 = R, b3, 5, bb7 (same as 6) - D7+ = R, 3, #5, b7 I made a video explaining how it all works. Sorry it's a bit long!
@Christian Lie thanks 🙏 I hope it’s helpful. I’d say the A shape and the E shape are the 2 that naturally lend themselves to playing 7 chords. C shape is probably the less useful (at first - it becomes more import for 9th chords). But like I said in the video, I highly recommend trying to combine shapes adjacent shapes eventually (like C + A shapes for example). I included a PDF of what I believe are the most useful 7th chord shapes I recommend learning first.
