The word major in that chord's name indicates that the seventh note in the scale is raised a half-step over the same chord without that designation in the name. Same applies with a Major 9th chord - the seventh is again a half-step higher than in a plain 9th Frank -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiXWckACgkQhIzUKCTXcU2CcgCeLIuN+3VGKrVOXDphYFui/snF V5oAoKmuIYDlXSCtu9b2M02JNuYPf4hy =8oG5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
