Major 7s are just happy and beautiful. Somehow calming too. If you're in a bad mood, play a major 7th progression and watch your mood change.
Great Introduction to 7th Chords
Thanks for the easy to understand theory on how to build major 7th chords and apply them. The original practice melodies are fantastic. It's nice to have the pdfs, and the backing track downloads are a great motivator.
