understanding intervals is the most important music theory lesson out there. it helps with modes, chord progressions, arpeggios, tension/release, etc. just all around the FIRST thing everyone (right after the 12 notes of course lol) should learn

Also, protip for learning the diatonic voicings for any chord quality, the green day song basket case is built on the pachelbel’s canon chord progression. It has a root on every note in the key except 7 & 2. So you can play all the chords in the verse and hit every diatonic chord quality without playing the same chord shape twice in a row. Then sub the minor 7b5 for the V7 chord & the II min7 for the IV maj 7 every other verse, and you have them all.

Great video. I’m not an expert on this, but I think it’s potentially confusing to refer to the 7th in a minor 7th chord as a “flat 7” (video, at 8:11). I think it should be referred to as a minor 7th. It’s not a flat 7 because it’s the actual 7th note in the minor scale. Shouldn’t be confused with a real flat 7, such as the flat 7 in a dominant 7th chord, where the 7th note of the scale is actually flattened by a semitone to make the chord. (Correct me if I’m wrong!)

At 11:50 Eric shows that you just have to move the 7th chord shapes around. So for the Cmaj7 at the 5th string, 3rd fret, you'd use either of the C or A shapes he is showing there for Gmaj7. Hope that answers your question!

I was kind of hoping that jazz for rockers would be about jazz as opposed to diatonic harmony. While understanding harmony makes perfect sense regardless of the type of music you intend to play, jazz presumes a certain harmonic sophistication. I think a student who needs to be introduced to diatonic harmony is a long way away from comprehending and playing jazz. My 2¢.
