If you enjoy playing solo flatpicking and want something simple that still sounds musical, this exercise is a great place to start. It uses only three chords — A, Amaj7, and Dmaj7 — but the magic comes from exploring them in three different positions on the neck.
Each position has its own color. When you add a few short connecting phrases, everything comes together as a small but complete piece you can play on your own. It’s a great way to practice chord knowledge, tone, and phrasing without getting lost in complicated licks.

If you’d like the TAB for this study, just leave a comment saying “Major Seventh” and I’ll send it your way.
