< BACK Subscribe Now Subscriber Login

Now that seventh arpeggios have been covered in detail, the next step is to begin playing them as chords. As is the case with basic triads, there are many different ways to voice seventh chords on the bass. This video course will cover some of the most effective ways of playing them and will demonstrate some progressions that use them.

As you work through this material, you might find the following courses useful (all included in the monthly subscription cost):

This course is 20 MINUTES long and contains the following videos, each of which can be selected from the video player above:

1. Exercise #32

This exercise is a simple diatonic chord progression in the key of C: Cmaj7-Am-Dm7-G7-C. A mixture of three- and four-note voicings are used.

2. Exercise #33

This exercise is based on the chord sequence of a 12-bar jazz blues in the key of F. Lines such as this really demonstrate how much is possible with the technique.

3. Exercise #34

This exercise is a more complex chord progression, again in the key of F minor. You’ll notice that all of the voicings here exclude the fifth of the chord.

4. Exercise #35

This exercise features a similar chord progression to the popular jazz standard ‘Autumn Leaves’. This progression will be revisited in the intermediate tapping course.
