Here’s another quick Lockdown Lesson. This time we’re playing into the V7 chord.
This is a pretty clever little idea that can be used either for lead or for rhythm guitar:
It also accompanies lessons I - IV Chord & Turnaround.
The idea utilities symmetry by chromatically descending a major triad from the I chord down two semitones from A - Ab - G but when you get to the G major triad you’re actually hearing it as it relates to E7 (albeit omitting the note G itself). What used to be the 3rd & the 5th of the major triad now becomes the 5th and the b7 of E7 (the V7 chord) see the below diagram for reference.
