Guitar Lesson Overview
In this example, a Major 7 arpeggio is played on whole-step (or 2 frets) below a dominant chord. Specifically, a D Major 7 arpeggio is being played over E7. This created a "mixolydian feel", as the notes in D Major 7 also appears in the E mixolydian scale. This sounds a bit jazzy and cool, so try it out.
What you should take with you from this lesson: Any time a 7th chord is being played, you can always play a Major 7 arpeggio one whole-step below the 7th chord. Examples: G Maj7 over A7, C Maj7 over D7, Eb Maj 7 over F7, and so on.
