In the case of a Cmaj7. The "major" word used in the chord name has nothing to do with the third but on the 7th.

Most people just call it "C" because it is easier to write than "Cmaj"danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12846575519735337886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369276555871738819.post-33991469841726353032013-07-27T12:58:32.343+08:002013-07-27T12:58:32.343+08:00So, C7 is dominant & Cmaj7 is not.

I guess because if you add the G note, it will make the chord really hard to play.<br /><br />So, if you notice for a major or minor chord, the notes that are constant are the root note (C) and the 5th note (G).<br /><br />So, if you had to play the C7 chord, you could do away with the G note because it is not the note that distinguishes a Cdom7 chord from a Cmaj7 chord etc.danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12846575519735337886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369276555871738819.post-62684675198881782022012-01-19T13:49:23.003+08:002012-01-19T13:49:23.003+08:00IN C7 CHORD ,WHERE IS G IN THE DIAGRAMIN C7 CHORD ,WHERE IS G IN THE DIAGRAMferozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994762264502197912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369276555871738819.post-91996506077977111622011-12-02T13:16:36.988+08:002011-12-02T13:16:36.988+08:00awesome dude.thanks a lotttttttttawesome dude.thanks a lotttttttttAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369276555871738819.post-59934277805126356192011-07-26T00:25:45.157+08:002011-07-26T00:25:45.157+08:00thanks a lot!! helped big timethanks a lot!! helped big timeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071686786228575763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369276555871738819.post-455366946165866352010-08-26T01:14:24.376+08:002010-08-26T01:14:24.376+08:00I was having a tough time in understanding this co...I was having a tough time in understanding this concept.<br />Thanks a lot man.
