@Kitman and @the-old-coach I agree. The root is still D the D7 is just a variation, but still using the D root note. Also the pattern encompasses the note of the D7. Tony states in the CAGED system about flattening the notes. We can flatten the 3 6 and 7th.
This is what I got when I googled ‘is D7 and D the same in musical theory’.
D7 is a D chord with the flatted 7th note of the scale added. A standard D chord contains the notes D, F# and A. The flatted 7th note of the D scale is a C, so a D7 chord would contain the notes D, F#, A and C. Seventh chords are often used to transition back to the root of the chord progression.Ok, guys this is Friday. We are supposed to take the Chord progression and use different shapes. But, first I want to thank the both of you for jumping in on this thread. I was pulling my hair out over it and now it seems like i can see a faint light at the end of the tunnel.
