The Big Six chords include: Seventh 7, Major Seventh maj7, Minor Seventh m7, Half Diminished Seventh or
Minor Seven Flat Five diminished 7 m7b5, Diminished Seventh o7 and Augmented Seventh +7. These six
chords form a core set of chords.
The order to learn these chords are in the order shown. Although the order is a recommendation its critical
to start with the first chord, the seventh. After that the maj7 or minor7 and the order can be determined by
your needs. This is the order I follow with my private students.
