Dominant 7 Chords Scale Stick

That bluesy tension, right there on the map.

The dominant 7 chord is the engine of the blues. It is the chord that creates tension and demands resolution, and it shows up constantly in blues, jazz, classic rock, country, and soul. Play the right notes over it, and it sounds soulful. Play the wrong ones, and it sounds off.

The DOM-7 Chords stick highlights the four core chord tones of the dominant 7 - the root, major 3rd, perfect 5th, and flat 7th - as a dot pattern across your fretboard map. You can see exactly which notes define that chord's sound and land on them with confidence, in any key, any time a dominant 7 chord appears in the progression.

FAQ

Q: What is the DOM-7 Chords stick used for?

A: The DOM-7 Chords stick highlights the four chord tones of the dominant 7 chord - the root, major 3rd, perfect 5th, and flat 7th. Use it over any dominant 7 chord in your progression to clearly see and play the notes that define that bluesy, tense sound.

Q: What is the difference between the DOM-7 Chords stick and the DOM-7 Arpeggio stick?

A: The DOM-7 Chords stick focuses on the four core chord tones. The DOM-7 Arpeggio stick includes those same notes plus additional scale tones, giving you more passing notes for fuller melodic runs. Use the Chords stick for tight chord-based playing, and the Arpeggio stick when you want more note choices.

Q: When should I use a DOM-7 stick instead of a Major or Minor stick?

A: Use the DOM-7 stick whenever a chord in the progression has a 7 after its name without an m - for example, G7, A7, E7, or D7. These chords have a flat 7th that gives them their characteristic bluesy pull. A Major stick over a dominant 7 chord will sound slightly off because it contains the natural 7th instead of the flat 7th.
