Upside Down 7th Chords - Music Composition

A clever little music composition technique for you to try in your next piece. This music composition lesson begins with a reminder of how to extend triads to 7th chords in the conventional manner. It then goes on to consider an alternative way of introducing 7th chords by adding a note at the bottom of the chord rather than at the top. The result produces a way of starting with one chord, then using every note of the chord as common notes in forming the 7th of another chord. It’s a great way of creating strong chord progressions and this video will be especially helpful to composers and arrangers.
