I think one's taste changes over time. I'm sure mine has. But I tend to think of maj7 chords as jazz chords and I don't ever remember not liking jazz.

As a result of these threads, I'm becoming curious about how people hear maj7 chords. If you can make some time, please play these Emaj7 chords on your guitar and rank them for me in order of descending cheesiness. I'm anxious to know whether everyone hears these chords the same way.

Thanks,
