7th chords on piano are some of my absolute favorite chords. But they weren\u2019t always. In fact, they used to confuse me so much, I\u2019d run for the hills when I saw a \u201c7\u201d on a chord chart. I avoided them, and because of that, I missed out on creating some of the most beautiful<\/em> sounds you can make on a piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason I ran was because 7th chords on piano are confusing! There are so many types. You\u2019ve got your Cmaj7 and Cm7. Then you\u2019ve got C7, which sounds a little like Cmaj7, but not really. And then there\u2019s Cdim7 and Cm7\u266d5\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in this lesson, we\u2019ll break down the differences between these chords and explain in clear and simple terms the theory behind them. 7th chords on piano do not<\/em> need to be confusing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
