A 7th Scale for Piano Improvisation in D

Video Transcript

"Now we are going to go over our A 7th chord. If we look at our D major scale again we have D major and our 7th chord comes out of our fifth degree. So one, two, three, four, five and we have A so if we build up in thirds, there is our new black chord A 7th. You hear how that wants to go to one, A to D. So we have an A 7th. You can invert the chord which means you're just taking the bottom note and putting it on top. So those are all A 7th chords. So now we can play E minor, A 7th, and D major. Of course you want to note these all down at home so you can go through and remember and play them on your own. E minor, A 7th, and D major. Those are our first three chords."
