D7 Arpeggio
In 2nd, 7th and 9th Position
D7 in 2nd Position
First up let us review a D7 arpeggio we learned in an earlier lesson. We first learned the D arpeggio in 2nd position in Lesson 6.
The notes of a D major triad are: D F# A (1st, 3rd and 5th degree of D major scale)
The notes of a D7 chord are: D F# A C (1st, 3rd, 5th and b7th degree of D major scale)
Note that because of the b7th degree, the D7 chord does not belong to the key of D major.
D7 is a dominant V chord and would belong to the key of G major (could also belong to the key of G Harmonic Minor but that is coming up in future lessons)
D7 in 7th Position

D7
D7 in 9th Position
Note that we have to stretch our 1st finger (index) back to the 8th fret of the high E string to play that C. In another lesson will look at an option of shifting to 10th position to play the C and then a high F#.
