Starting with the C major chord play the following examples in one position.
C major, C, E, G, C, E, G then back G, E, C, G, E, C
C maj7th, C, E, G, B, C, E, G G, E, C, B, G, E, C
C+, C, E, G#, C, E, G# G#, E, C, G#, E, C
C7, C, E, G, Bb, C, E, G G, E, C, Bb, G, E, C
C9, C, E, G, Bb, D, G G, D, Bb, G, E, C
C minor, C, Eb, G, C, Eb, G G, Eb, C, G, Eb, C
Cm7, C, Eb, G, Bb, C, Eb, G G, Eb, C, Bb, G, Eb, C
Cm7b5, C, Eb, Gb, Bb, C, Eb, Gb Gb, Eb, C, Bb, Gb, Eb, C
Cdim7, C, Eb, Gb, Bbb, C, Eb, Gb Gb, Eb, C, Bbb, Gb, Eb, C (Bbb same note as A)
