The I7 bVII7 Progression
Hi, I'm Brad Carlton and welcome to this edition of Guitar Lab focusing on The I7 bVII7 Progression. This course will examine various harmonic and melodic approaches over the I7 bVII7 progression. This sequence of two dominant chords a whole step apart is a common building block which is used in many different styles of music. Grab your guitar and let's get started!
Chord Voicings
We'll use 6th and 5th string rooted chord forms throughout this course to accommodate the whole step bass line.
Harmonic Analysis
When dealing with unaltered dominant chords, there are two heptatonic scales which generate the various available harmonies. The Mixolydian mode, which is mode V of the major scale, and the Lydian b7, which is mode IV of the melodic minor scale. The formula for the Mixolydian is 1-2-3-4-5-6-b7 and the Lydian b7 formula is 1-2-3-#4-5-6-b7.
The Safety Net Approach
Any chord voicing involves a layout of one note-per-string on the fingerboard. It's important that you see these chord tones as available melody notes which can serve you as a "safety net" when soloing over a progression.
Building Arpeggio Forms
After you're able to see the chord tones that make up a chord voicing, you can build a complete chord arpeggio in the same position by playing the note that correspond to the numeric formula of the chord.
Using Common Tones
In this lesson, we'll cover the importance of knowing the common tones which occur when playing over the I7 bVII7 progression.
Pentatonic Approach
This lesson will examine the use of the C minor pentatonic scale over both chords.
