Basic Guitar Chord Charts:
Minor 7 Chords



Basic Guitar Chord Charts: Minor 7 Chords

Minor 7 Chords in Theory

CONSTRUCTION

The Minor 7 Chord can be constructed using this formula:1 b3 5 b7. The numbers refer to notes in the corresponding major scale. Build it by starting with the MINOR TRIAD and adding the flatted seventh note of the scale.

For example, a "C minor 7" chord would contain the notes C Eb G Bb. This chord is notated as Cm7 or Cmi7. If we use the same formula for "Dm7", we get the notes D F A C.

Of course, to apply this formula to all 12 keys, you need to know the Key Signatures.

You can find guitar chord charts here!


FUNCTION

The Minor 7 chord functions as a ii iii or vi chord. If you need to know more about chord progressions, Chord Progressions is a page on this site which will be helpful.


Do you have trouble learning your favorite songs or playing along with them because they are too fast? It is easy to SLOW THEM DOWN! The program that I use to teach my students is called "RiffMaster Pro". To learn more about this great program, Click Here!
