Chord Voicing in Db (Flat) & Ab7

Now we're going to look at our last chord that we're going to learn today, which is our A flat seven chord. Again it's the same scale but we start on A flat, and you have one, nine, three, eleven, five, thirteen, seven, one. And again, notice one, three, and seven now, now we're outlining the seven of the D flat, and we're outlining the three of the E flat, so, we're kind of in between the two, so you can hear the difference between A flat seven, E flat minor, and D flat major. You can hear how those all sound like completely different chords. So there's one, three, and seven of A flat. Here's one, three, and seven of E flat minor, and there's one, three, and seven of E flat major. So, there's A flat to D flat, you can hear how it has tension released, tension released, so by changing around the importance of the notes within the scale, we get different degrees and different functions, and we get different chord harmonies so now we have three, we have our E flat minor, our A flat seven, and our D flat major. And again, altering these scales is all the same way. We just switch the root, which switches the nine and the eleven and the thirteen around as well.
