Getting Started With...Minor 7th Chords

“How are minor 7s different to ‘major 7’ and ‘7’ chords?”

Well, each chord has its own sound: ‘7’ chords (aka dominant 7ths) such as E7 or A7 have a typically tense atmosphere, perfect for blues or any song in need of a bright, edgy sound; major 7ths have a mellower sound suited to ballads and laid-back jazz or folk. Minor 7ths sound similar to basic minor chords (like Dm or Em) but with slightly a less moody feel. Played with a clean tone, minor 7ths are a great starting point for funk and disco rhythms, or you can dial in some drive for an indie or alt-rock vibe.
