What notes are in Gmaj7?
Gmaj7, G major seventh, is G, B, D and F♯: the root (G), the major third (B), the perfect fifth (D) and the major seventh (F♯). Its formula is 1 3 5 7.
Are Gmaj7 and G7 the same?
No. Gmaj7 has the major seventh, F♯, a half step below the root; G7 has the minor seventh, F. Gmaj7 sounds calm and open, the sound of jazz ballads and bossa nova; G7 sounds like it has somewhere to go.
Can I play G instead of Gmaj7?
Yes. Gmaj7 is G with F♯ added, so G does the same job with a plainer sound.
