Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In contrast, seventh chords require severe hand-stretching in standard tuning.
  • Kolb, 2005, Chapter 6: Harmonizing the major scale: Diatonic seventh chords, p. 37:

    Kolb, Tom (2005) Music theory, Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Hal Leonard Corporation, pp. 1–104 ISBN: 0-634-06651-X.

For example, the C7 chord has notes on frets 3-8 in standard tuning (and all-fourths tuning). Consequently, seventh chords are rarely played in standard tuning.

  • Kolb again

In their stead, standard-tuning uses "alternatively voiced" chords, which have the same notes but in different order (and perhaps in a different octave). An illustration shows a C7 chord (in standard tuning), which would be extremely difficult to play, and an "alternatively voiced" C7.

  • The alternative voicing of the C7 chord follows the first seventh-chord diagram of Denyer, 1992, "The harmonic guitarist: Seventh chords: The dominant seventh chords", p. 127
