Build 7th Chords | Professor Explains Musictheory

How do you get those romantic, lush sounds, used by bands and singer-songwriters like Billy Eilish, Coldplay, Bruno Mars and many more? You can learn this, it’s not even that hard! I love teaching my students about this, because the emotionality we’re exploring is becoming more nuanced, while the chords aren’t even that much more complex. As always, I’ll explain it all, then we’ll practice together, and then you’ll practice by yourself.
