In the first edition of Rob Garland’s Chord Navigator: CAGED Triads, you explored the power of triads as a rhythm and comping device. You worked with the CAGED system to quickly construct and play major, minor, diminished and augmented triads using the CAGED chord system.

Here, in this CAGED Sevenths edition of Chord Navigator, Rob adds 7th chords to your CAGED vocabulary, giving you a much richer array of sounds to build and apply across a variety of rhythm guitar styles. Pop, rock, classic American Songbook tunes, blues, and jazz standards are written using major 7th, minor 7th, and dominant 7th chords, so there'll be plenty of real-life musical applications to apply the principles and approaches presented in this CAGED Sevenths edition of Chord Navigator.

"I’ve organized this course into two sections. In the first section, we’ll focus on both CAGED major and minor 7th chords. Then in the second section, to broaden your harmonic palette, we’ll add dominant seventh chords to the mix. For each chord type, we’ll play our way through a series of exercises designed to explore chord voicings, their inversions, and a handful of real-world, creative applications you can use to navigate the fretboard.”

Each of the sections features overviews, demonstrations, creative applications, and playalong sessions designed to help you immediately apply the key learnings in a musical context.
