FINAL UPDATE (God I hope): 

I re-recorded the video with hopefully all the bad information fixed. Hazel, thank you for helping haha. This is the version that will release Friday. If you still want to see the old version where I mess up my 7th chords, it's here: https://vimeo.com/739820087/0261fe1f80

I got the Chord Files recently: https://www.chordfiles.com/

It's an analog hardware device for chord theory. In this video we'll explore it, and what makes chords spicy.

Also, I mention my favorite new binge YouTube on this, Pat Finnerty. Check out his amazing What Makes This Song Stink series here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boKihmOqypc&list=PLfbwqgEGcisCNjcY11fQHrJmCzOz5mzXK

And then I lost my entire day to watching Pat Finnerty. I have Dani California stuck in my head now, but with Tom Petty singing the chorus. I hope you're happy.

Correction to the video: In many places you are playing major 7ths (ie, GM7, G-B-D-F#) when you should be playing dominant 7ths (ie, G7, G-B-D-F). Which gives some yummy sounds, but isn't what the tool intends. Look at the back of the card, it'll show you what notes should be in the chord.
