Closed Dominant 7th chords

Great work on the UBC practice sheet (4/20 blog). Continue to use the sheet for smooth changing and remembering chords. The point of this practice is to be able to play these chords without having the diagram in front of you. You can print off as many copies of this as you want for practice. If you always rely on the chord diagrams, your eyes and fingers are learning the chords but you are not internalizing them (learning by heart). And will not remember them when you don't have the diagram.  I know that it is painful at first, but it really doesn't take very long to learn new chords by heart if you just play them over and over and over for a while. 
Puff the Magic Dragon: Use this to practice finger picking patterns. Specifically combo #1 but, really, you could use any of the patterns we learned. 
Dominant 7th chords - closed.  Pull out the 12 bar blues (2/5 blog)  use it to practice two new closed shapes in the key of C. Use the 1st shape on the page below for C7, use the 3rd shape for F7 and G7.  Make ALL of your chords 7th chords. This is commonly done with the blues.
