Thread Name: got killed by a ma7th chord again tonite
Subject: got killed by a maj 7th chord again tonight
Again, passing my guitar around. A guy plays a pop/folki-sh song, fairly interesting lyrics, but during the break there's a maj 7th chord.

I left the room during the second go-round, despite the assertion that no more maj 7th chords would occur.

The song had already proven itself wimpy, almost decandent.

Anyway, there are a bunch of exceptions revealing wonderful placements of these chords, I'm sure. But perhaps only in the hands of a master.

Just my taste, rubs me the wrong way....

Can I get a witness?
