Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson: Transition Points

Seventh chords are like the dressing you add to a salad. A 7th chord adds flavor. Fingerstyle guitarist Martin Taylor filmed a video lesson for his online guitar school on adding 7ths, intervals and finding transition points when using 7ths.
A "seventh chord" usually means a major triad with an added minor seventh (a dominant seventh chord). However, a variety of sevenths may be added to a variety of triads, resulting in many different types of seventh chords, as described below. Here are a list of some lessons on sevenths that Martin gives at his online guitar school.

"The people at Marshall amps invited me to play at their "50 Years of Loud" concert at Wembley Arena. Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Zakk Wylde, and Kerry King were also featured. I did my own set with Mike Portnoy on drums, and I also jammed with Joe Satriani with Nicko McBrain (from Iron Maiden) on drums. Everyone jammed together to close the show with a massive version of "Smoke on the Water." The audience was fantastic and of course the Marshall amps rocked the arena like they are built to do. Thank you, Marshall. And thank you, London!" - Paul Gilbert
