Is the G major chord the same as the G7 chord?

In: Music, Music Theory, Musical Chords [Edit categories]

Answer:

No it is not the same.

G major has a tonic (root) a third and a fifth
The G major 7 has an added seventh

In the case of G maj 7 the the notes would be G B E and the added sventh is in this case an F#

7 chords are mostly used in jazz and sometimes in pop or rock music in order to alter the harmony of the song.
