Kat ((O1O)) Khords

  B minor 7 flat 5
  aka B-7b5
  aka B half diminished
  aka B^ø
  aka VII

  This is another beautiful chord, but played by itself sounds like it’s in limbo.
  It’s hangs out with the V more than anyone else, they’re like cousins.
  then V turns around and hangs with I.

  B | D | F | A

  A Minor 7
  aka A-7
  aka Am7
  aka vi-7

  Another one of my all time favorites. We covered this chord back in March, but in context of the chord scale, this fits in as the minor 6 chord, vi-7.

  Although not as good friends with I, or V, this chord is that awesome friend that stops by once in a while.  Always welcome and always a great vibe. vi-7 can be also very melancholy and isolated, sometimes even sad, depending on it’s surroundings.

  A | C | E | G

  G7
  aka V7

  So this is IM7’s best friend.
  They like to hang out… a lot! You’ll usually find them following one another in a lot of songs.. They love each other.

  G | B | D | F

  I love love this chord.

  E minor 7 
  aka Em7 
  aka E-7 
  aka iii

  Here’s another beauty.
  Move it on up the C Major scale and put the root on the 3rd note, E.
  Stack em up as a minor 7 chord, E | G | B | D
  There ya go.

  D minor 7 
  aka D-7
  aka ii

  Move the root up a whole step to the 2nd note the Cmajor scale.
  Build your root position chord using the key signature, and you have this beautiful chord.. the minor ii chord.

  D (root) F, A, C

  From now until the end of this week, we’ll be doing CHORD SCALES

  For me, CHORD SCALES, are basically what get me through songs.

  This plus the following Chords presented this week will all be in the key of C.

  Let’s start out with I - (Roman numerals for chord scale indicators)

  or C Major 7 in the key of C.

  C, E, G, and B with C as the root

  beautiful.

  Part 2…

  Here’s the B7(#9).

  A great passing chord.

  Use it to get back to your A-9, or hold it to create tension.

  Here’s the A-9.

  Same chord as the previous week (A-7), just add the “B” on top to make the (9).

  You can also think of it as a CM7 with an “A” in the bass.

  [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

  Since I’ve kind of slacked these past couple of weeks…
  Instead of just one chord this week, we’ll do a sweet chord progression.

  2 chords.

  A-9 | aka A minor 9 aka Cmajor7 with an A in the bass
  &
  B7(#9)

  Here’s an audio example as used by the Brand New Heavies.
