Examples of use
The maj7 or Major 7th chord (sometimes written as △7 to avoid confusion with minor chords - eg. Gb△7) is usually found on either the I or the IV (1st of 4th) degrees of a major scale.
So in Gb major, this would be Gbmaj7 or Bmaj7.
In slightly more jazzy circumstances, you might play a maj7 chord on a more chromatic note of the score, as in this example, in Eb major:
Major 7th chords are one of the
Diatonic 7th chords we talk about in the
theory lesson here.
