Concept<\/h2>\n<p>Two things you need to form a major seventh or minor seventh chord voicing with are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Structure<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started with the foundation.<\/p>\n<h3>The Foundation<\/h3>\n<p>The foundation of a major seventh chord is a major third (or major tenth interval.) This interval is formed by the relationship between the first and third tones of the major scale.<\/p>\n<p>Using the C major scale (as a reference):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the first and third tones are C and E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhen we play C and E together, we&#8217;ve laid the foundation for a major chord. So, C goes to the left hand (as the bass) while E goes to the right hand:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Left hand (C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nRight hand (E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The minor third interval is the foundation of the minor seventh chord and other bigger minor chords. Just take any major third interval you know and shrink it (make it smaller) by lowering the upper note by a half-step and you&#8217;ll have a minor third interval.<\/p>\n<p>For example, C-E (a major third interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be used in the formation of the minor third interval. It&#8217;s as simple as lowering the upper note (which is E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by a half-step (to Eb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and we&#8217;ll have C-Eb (a minor third interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is the foundation of all the bigger and sophisticated minor chords. Don&#8217;t forget that C is played on the bass while the Eb is played on the right hand:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Left hand (C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nRight hand (Eb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Altogether, here are the two foundations we need:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C major third (for all major chords):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC minor third (for all minor chords):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,Eb,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Structure<\/h3>\n<p>Now that you have the foundation of the C major chord (the C major third interval):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;all you have to do is to add a structure to the right hand.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of playing just E over C on the bass:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we can play a full-sounding E minor chord on the right hand over C on the bass:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,B,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Attention:<\/strong> I know it takes a little more mental effort to think of a minor chord structure when the chord you have in mind is a major seventh chord.
