This lesson is a beginner's guide to learning how to construct all of the basic types of chords required for playing jazz piano. It covers how to construct:
Major 7th chords
Major 6th chords
Minor 7th chords
Dominant 7th chords
Minor 7 flat 5 (half diminished) chords
Diminished 7th chords
It is a good exercise to practice these chords in both hands and through all inversions to help build fluency and technique.
Practicing these basic chords well will make progress smooth when moving onto jazz chord voicings and richer chord extensions.
