Here we'll talk about another variation of the major seven chord called a minor major
seven. Little bit more rare but you will see it in Jazz charts. Let's talk about it a little
bit we've got an A chord. I'll go back to the A chord here. Now we took the duplicate
A and we moved it down one fret to make it major seven. Remember if you wanted to make
it dominant you'd make it two frets down and move it to the seven and again to the flat
seven. Major seven you just move it down once from the root so start with major seven. Now
minor major seven combines the components of minor with major seven. The definition
of minor is a lowered third so we need to find the third here. A, C sharp would be the
third in an A major scale. Our C sharp is right here. We need to lower that by one fret
major seven, lower the third. Minor major seven.
