Major seventh Chord

As we know, a Major Seventh Chord formula is 1 3 5 7, so in D major Seventh we use D F# A and C# note. So, Chord that consist of these 4 notes must be D Major Seventh, don't have to strict on 1 3 5 7, but maybe 3 5 1 7 or 7 3 1 5 etc. It Still D Major Seventh.

Below I give the Formula of major Seventh and the Interval also.


Let see all DM7 shape that I usually use.

If you se, on Chart 01, these could be the best shape on DM7 (in my opinion) because the pitch are high, that create a clear tone.

On Chart 02, i simply move notes on E ist string to E on the 6th string, since the notes are the same. The nice idea of this is that DM7 also has different name..... F#m6 or D/C# or Cm/D

Chart 03 is very nice for rhythm chord. The notes are not as clear as the notes on Chart 01.

Below i give you table for every Major seventh Chord with the interval.
