Sometimes just little things dont figure for me. I understand the thoery behind the 7th (that we are adding minor or major sevenths to our chord triads) but what is the difference between dominant 7ths and a major 7th, or minor. I mean, why do I sometimes see A7 and then Amaj7. For a long time I thought they were the same thing. According to basic theory they should be, shouldnt they???? Can anyone help?
