the chords is confusing me

[phucuong5415]

on Piano Fast Learning Books there a part to play 7 chords, and it said if you play root chords and move one key to the left then you got maj7 chords and two key then you got 7 chords, is that right? because when i look at the 7 chords you play 4 notes total so im really confusing. Are there formulas to find out maj7 and 7 chords?

When you add a 7th to a root position chord, there will be 4 notes involved instead of the usual 3.  For instance, for a C major chord you would have the notes C E and G.  Adding a major 7th means that you are adding the 7th note of the major scale, B, to the chord. You can find the major 7th by moving up the C major scale to the 7th note B, or, because the major 7th is always just one semitone below the key note, you can move down one semitone from C to B.

When you play a 7th chord, you are adding a minor 7th. To make a major interval minor, you simply move down one semitone. So in a C major chord, the major 7th, B, becomes B flat.  You can also find the 7th by moving down a whole tone from the key note, which also leads to B flat.
