Dec 23, 2019 · But nothing wrong with the major 7 as Cmaj7 is a major seven chord, i.e. it is not a b7 which implies it could be part of a minor chord, R-b3-5-b7 or part of a dominant seven chord, R-3-5-b7. Any major scale note, like the 8-9-11 would also fit.

Mar 8, 2005 · This is somewhat misleading Cmaj7 means C (major) - with a major 7th (maj7). C means C (major) C7 means C (major) - with a minor 7th (dominant 7th) or mixolidian mode.

Mar 4, 2007 · CM7 or CMaj7 is different; Maj doesn't refer to the quality of the chord but to the seventh. '7' just by itself is assumed to be dominant (minor), so C7 is understood as above, and CMaj7 is not synonymous; it's the major-major seventh chord or R-3-5-7. It's often written C(Maj7) to ameliorate this confusion.

In this example you create tension by playing the same notes - the harmony continues to move even though you do not. Where does it resolve? Next four measures: F#m7b5/B7/Em/Em

Mar 16, 2002 · Learning that your example is a jazz-style backing track makes a lot of sense. Secondary dominants are very common in the jazz style. If you want to take this concept to the next logical step, try changing Dmin7 to D7, so the progression goes like this: D7 - G7 - CMaj7 - …

Jun 2, 2020 · B7 and F7 are not Maj7 chords so what I posted wouldn't apply. Then there is also the concept of the passing tone. I apologize for misunderstanding. I thought you meant CMaj, not CMaj7.
