ALL THE CHORDS THERE ARE
An organized approach to learning 7th chords

Drop 2 Voicings and inversions of Major 7th chords on 3 different sets of 4 strings

Inversions on string set 6, 5, 4, 3
Inversions on string set 6, 5, 4, 3

Inversions on string set 5, 4, 3, 2
Inversions on string set 5, 4, 3, 2

Inversions on string set 4, 3, 2, 1
Inversions on string set 4, 3, 2, 1

Inversions of the four different 7th chords on the 3 different sets of 4 strings
Major 7th, Dominate 7th, Minor 7th, Minor 7b5

Now that you have the inversions of a Major 7th, you can create the other qualities of 7th chords by lowering the different chord tones one half step or one fret.

Dominate 7th (b7)
Minor 7th (b3, b7)
Minor 7b5 (b3, b5, b7)
