Banjo Chords – G7 and D7
At some point you will need to learn how to play a seventh chord and these first two are easy to learn; D7 and G7. There are a few different ways to play seventh chords but don’t worry they are similar to the shapes you already know for major chords.
The first chord is D7, a D7 chord is just a D major chord with an extra note, that note is a flatted seventh (7b). The notes that make up the D7 chord are D, F#, A and C. I’ll demonstrate three different ways to play a D7 chord and include an audio sample for each.
Now that you know how to play a few different versions of D7, let’s try three G7 chords. The G7 chord is a G major chord with a flatted seventh added, which is F. The notes that make up G7 are G, B, D and F.
Stay tuned we’ll be talking about some other seventh chords soon.
