In this lesson we'll take the G shaped chord and move it through this order:

  • Major
  • Minor
  • Diminished
  • Maj7
  • Dom7
  • Min7
  • Half Diminished
  • Fully Diminished

From there we'll discuss how easy or difficult it is to use this chord as a movable shape and which forms work best. Sometimes they are easy to move around and easy to manipulate and sometimes they are just plain weird. In this case, the G shape is pretty weird.

This is another great series. It's funny how "knowing" that chords are moveable doesn't mean we actually move them. Your painstaking illustrations are there to remind us. My favorite sounds are the minor7 chords, D, E and G, especially when you push them farther up. I really like the sound of the D shape minor sevenths, Fsharp min7 from the D shape in particular. Thanks again for a great series that warrants relistening.
