Now don't quote me Sorin, because my knowledge of music theory is as extensive as an eskimo's grasp of desert survival but...

Maybe they just sound good because they are all in the same key? I mean, if I were in C it would sound good if I came in from F, Am, Dm, E....all the chords and their variants so long as I stay in the key of C yes? I mean, if I picked something from the key of A, like Cm, it would probably sound like hell if the root is C.

Sorin,
I don't know, I play them with barres a lot, with the index finger. Otherwise, I just don't know. I dont' think there are any rules. Why do you feel the need to play lots of fourths?

I have a question too ,how do the intervals resolve ?
I mean why it's normal that after I play G7 ,feels to play C?I often hear
things like "resolving chords" and I know what they mean,but I dont know
the rules about intervals ...I hope u know what I mean.

You mean the "dominant-septime chord"?
If you want the dominant septime chord of C then you play the fifth note of C, thats G. Now you take the G7 (Dominant) 7 - is a major triad with a minor 7th added, which is G with an additional minor 3rd above the perfect 5th, thats F.
Works also for Minor 7 - is a minor triad with a minor 7th added.

BM is bachelor of music I guess.

the 7th of G7 (f) goes down to e the 3rd of C
and the 3rd of G (B) goes up to the root C
thats the general rule. 7th to 3rd 3rd to root F to E B to C

or i E7 and A 7th D down to 3rd C# 3rd #g up to A (root)
