Excellent review Rob, my only suggestion would be to contrast these with the dominant 7 chords. When I first started playing (about 18 months ago) the theory behind these made my head spin a bit...

Nice! Plz double check Bmaj7 🙃

Yes, technically it’s a bmaj7(no5), but jazzers omit 5th intervals all the time, so it’s not out of the ordinary. If you can manage to grab the 2nd fret of the high E string, you have the 5, but it’s a miserable little shape and the goal for this lesson was to teach open shapes that are somewhat easy to play. I meant to mention this, but it slipped my mind.

Yours is my favourite web site to learn music theory and song tutorials, it is also the best as far as Tabs are concerned. I was in Philadelphia last year, we could have gone for a beer!
