What notes are in Emaj7?
Emaj7, E major seventh, is E, G♯, B and D♯: the root (E), the major third (G♯), the perfect fifth (B) and the major seventh (D♯). Its formula is 1 3 5 7.
Are Emaj7 and E7 the same?
No. Emaj7 has the major seventh, D♯, a half step below the root; E7 has the minor seventh, D. Emaj7 sounds calm and open, the sound of jazz ballads and bossa nova; E7 sounds like it has somewhere to go.
Can I play E instead of Emaj7?
Yes. Emaj7 is E with D♯ added, so E does the same job with a plainer sound.
