Where do chords really come from? How are chords made? What makes a chord major or minor? What are triads? And what's the difference between a major 7th, minor 7th, and dominant 7th chord? These are some of the questions I'll be answering in this video. Guitar chords are the building blocks that make up our favorite songs, and understanding their origins is a great way to improve our musicianship and become better guitar players. For more digestible music theory videos, check out my "Guitar Lessons" playlist. Thanks for watching!
