Guitar/chord Question

Okay...my man and I just bought guitars. I found this chord I really like: A major 7th. But it sounds like it's leading to something -- you know, like some sort of resolution should be played right after it. WHAT IS THAT RESOLUTION? Help! (I need some music theory to go with my very sore fingers).

p.s. just for curiosity sake - I bought an acoustic; he bought electric. Neither of us play a lick, so it's been fun getting started together.

Also, what's with guitar music free online? I printed out "Knockin on Heaven's Door" and as a singer, I can guarantee those aren't the chords that he's singing in front of. Is it some kind of cruel joke?

seventh chords always resolve to the tonic. they have the leading tone (the 7th note of the scale) and it always feels like it has to 'finish'. :)

In other words, you need an E major chord after that A major 7th.

oops. i thought she meant 'a major 7th chord' in general, not "A" major.

Thank you! I'm so green, I don't know much...but every time I practice that chord I like so well, I feel, well, unsatisfied. So thanks a ton!

Ow...my fingers hurt!

Soon you will get lovely calluses! When I was first learning the guitar, I ALWAYS played the same three songs over and over and over because they were my favourite to learn: One by U2, Everybody Hurts by REM and High and Dry by Radiohead. So much fun! Have a blast.

An A major 7th chord (A, C,# E, G-natural) would resolve to either a D Major chord (D, F#, A) or d minor (D, F-natural, A).

A 7th chord means a triad with the seventh added. A chord based on the 5th note of the scale is called a "dominant chord," and that is the chord that usually resolves to the tonic. A typical progression in both classical and jazz is I-IV-V-I (I=tonic, IV=sub-dominant, V= dominant).

The chords that would resolve to E major would either be B7, or D# diminished 7.

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      Family education

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      I have never been tested for tTg 6 antibodies but I will certainly do that next time I'm at the doc's.  Maybe there's a home test kit for that?  I drink lactose free milk and seem to be ok so I'm probably not a casein case but...who knows?!

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I take Life Extension brand Mega Benfotiamine, (250 mg with each of two meals) and Maxlife Natural TTFD-B1 Max Thiamine (100 mg).   I try to take my Benfotiamine and TTFD before four pm, otherwise I have so much energy, it can be hard to fall asleep.

      Some people react to the Casein in dairy the same as to gluten, like me.  I avoid dairy avidly because I get ataxia so bad. Some Celiac people produce tTg 6 antibodies in response to gluten or casein.  tTg 2 antibodies are what blood tests for Celiac measure.  tTg 6 antibodies are also found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, contributing to ataxia.  Have you been checked for tTg 6 antibodies?   P. S.  Can you share your B vitamin test results?
