Part 1 - Note Structure and Set Up Chords - The full note structure of the 5 chord, as well as an introduction to the concept of "Set Up" chords. 

Part 2 - Major and Dominant Variations - We expand on two main chord types that we find on the 5 chord, standard Major and Dominant 7. We go over these basic sounds as well as add in the 2 and 6 to each type. 

Part 3 - Suspended Chords - We look at what sounds we get when we add in the 4, as well as a chord type that features the 4, called a Suspended Chord.

Part 4 - Chord Symbols - We go over how all of the chords we have talked about over the 5 chord look on paper. This will help you understand what certain symbols mean on a chord chart, which will help you decide what to play.  

Part 5 - Song Examples - I showcase a variety of songs that feature the 5 chord. We will hear a variety of types such as dominant 7 and suspended used as transitions, but also use examples of when the 5 chord is the main chord of the song, making the 5 chord feel like the "key".

Part 6 - Dominant 7th Leads - We look at playing leads over the Dom7 sound. Of course you can simply start practicing scales that contain the notes of Dom7, however in this lesson we focus on being able to find the single note that makes this sound what it is (the flat-7), which allows us to achieve the sound without having to practice scales. 

Part 7 - Mixing Dom7 and Minor Leads - We continue talking about playing leads/melodies over the Dom7 sound. This time however we use the very common tactic of mixing Dom7 with straight-up minor to achieve some very recognizable sounds. 

Part 8 - Writing With Dominant 7 - I have written three short parts that demonstrate the sound of the 5 chord, when featured in different genres. All of these "tunes" are based on E, and all of them feature the dominant 7 sound, which is again major with a flat-7. 

Part 9 - Chord vs Chord - We learn and memorize the relationship between the notes of one chord and the notes of another. For this lesson, we will look at how the notes of the 5 chord function over the notes of the 1 chord, giving us smooth transitions.
