Why not c major, not even c dominant 7, but cmaj7 Couple weeks ago i watched one of scott's videos, this one And he goes over 4 most important arpeggios starting with cmaj7, then c7, cm7, and cm7flat5 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 often written c (maj7) to ameliorate this confusion. The root is assumed to be major unless otherwise stated and the 7th is assumed to be minor unless otherwise stated My correction being (maj) refers to the 7th not the quality of the chord.edit This is no single accepted. Hello everyone, i got confused when i checked the internet for playing 7th chords Some of them saying cmaj7 and c major 7 are completely different from each other
Some saying c7 is = c dominant 7 I made a little search in tb but i couldn't manage to. If i am playing an arpeggio, for example cmaj7, i think of that as every c, e, g, and b over the entire range of the instrument, not a specific c, e, g, and b in a particular shape It is totally acceptable to extend the arpeggio up to the high c octave, down to the low g 5th, etc. Cmaj7 chord coming up in the song Find a c note on the 3rd or 4th string and put this box's r over that c note
Then play the spelling for the cmaj7 chord I'm in the baby stages of refreshing my music theory and applying it to bass Years back (in school) i was taught that as long as you play the correct note, it doesn't matter what position your fretting hand is in Tonight i was looking at an eb major scale and got to wondering In this case, the maj7 indicates that there is a major seventh interval, from the named root, plus a major triad = c, e, g, b These are 'short cut' labels based on intervals.
A key to their use it to determine to which notes those extensions will properly voice.
