Description of Jack Johnson Guitar Lesson (sitting waiting wishing)

Great way to learn/practice your "7" chords. Chord progression is as follows |Am|-|Am7|-|G|-|G7|-|F|-|F7|-|C|-|C7| for the verse. Chorus is |E|-|E7|-|E|-|E7|-|Am|-|Am7|-|Am|-|Am7|. These E7th chords are called Dominant 7 chords and Am7 is just called a Minor 7 chord. The Bridge in the song goes |C|-|E|-|F|-|G,F|-|C|-|E|-|F|-|G| How to Formulate These Chords: Dominant 7 chord: Play your major scale and take the 1st, 3rd, 5th notes to make the Major chord but then take the 7th note and move it down one fret to make it a flat 7. So the Formula is 1 3 5 b7. Minor 7 chord: flat the 3 in the Dominant 7! Maybe you know this already, but the only difference between a major and minor chord is the 3 or b3 respectively. -Good luck with your playing! -Micah Beverly
