@@arunkarthikma3121Yes. Google this: Major 7 voicings guitar Minor 7 voicings guitar Dominant 7 voicings guitar Especially major 7 voicings are so beautiful on their own to play with. But the real fun starts when you combine these voicings to create chord progressions that will sound new and fresh to the ear, even if it is as simple as, say, a 1 6 4 5 chord progression. Have fun!

@@arunkarthikma3121 Absolutely, but thinking in triads isn't very natural on guitar. Instead start by taking the chord shapes you already know like E, C, A, D and their minors(although Cm shape isn't really used) then figure out what the voicings of those shapes are just as they are. eg. An E shape chord is 1,5,1,3,5,1 = E,B,E,G#,B,E Then, you can add 7ths, 9ths, 11ths etc by taking one of the notes and moving it. eg. From our E shape above, we can take the 2nd '5' (open B string in our example) and move that up to the major 7th (D#, 4th frett) to give us an EMaj7 You could then take the 2nd '1' (2nd fret D string in our example) and move that up to the 9th (F# also 4th frett) to give us a really nice EMaj9 voicing

OH, he's a rocket scientist and HE develops software? Gets to be a monk with a piano too? Homie need a buff. With love homie. I've been playing everything in C major and felt like an amateur because I really resist music theory because it feels so much more complicated than it has to be. This really gives me the tools to make any chord, rather than learning the music theory and playing all the scales, it felt overwhelming. But this makes it seem so much more accessible, I feel like this one video is an efficient way to progress forward exactly the way I would like to (whether for better or worse) and I appreciate you giving me this opportunity. Stay OP dawg and godspeed, thank you.

One of my favorite methods has to be slash voicing. (depending on context) Gmajor / C -> Cmaj7add9 Emajor / G -> Galt Fmajor / G -> Gsus4add13 Gmajor / F -> Fmaj9#11 E-flat-major / C -> Cmin7 Aminor / C -> C6 A-flat-major / G -> Galt Bmajor / C -> C-diminished-addMaj7 Just a few small examples in C. Because lots of pianists already have fundamentals built around triads, a lot of great mix-ups come out of the box. Breaking down chords like this is great on the fly, and it requires a lot less brainpower than other methods, imo. Worth giving a try!

Nice introduction. A quick explainer how this "beauty" arises: Every note has overtones. When a chord is played in close position, those overtones overlap and clash more easily. Spacing the voices more openly creates space between those overtones, reducing or avoiding those clashes and making the whole thing breathe. This also helps you add more instruments or a singing voice to an arrangement.

If you play the chord in an inversion with the melody note on top (acting doubly as a chord tone) then it should work. That also helps to strengthen voice leading through inversions as keeping the melody on top would constrict the shape and density of notes of the chords strictly between the melody and bass notes (with the added challenge of keeping the same harmonic rhythm). This process is called harmonization of course.
