This week in the Magic Ukulele Club we’re looking at moveable 7th chords and how four simple shapes can get us every 7th chord up and down the neck. As a seventh chord contains four notes there are only a limited number of ways we can arrange those notes. We’re looking at the four main inversions of the chords or what note we put as the lowest note in the chord. This gives us four shapes you are already familiar with: G7, C7, E7, and A7. By turning these into barre chords and being aware of where the root note is we are able to change them into any other 7th chord that we desire.

If you are new to chords and theory watch this quick video on how chords are built before diving into today’s lesson. You can continue diving into more harmony lessons in our Harmony/Theory Tab.
