List of 7th Chords
This is a list of strict 7th chords which means starting on the root note on the lowest (deepest) string and then finding the next note on the next highest string etc. This produces some impossible stretches in many cases, so - try the alternatives!
The numbers represent the frets to press on each string in order from lowest to highest
so G7 as commonly played is 0 0 2 1 (see diag)
