The Major 7th chord remains one of those paradoxical mysteries of music. Some listeners love the 'timeless eternal wow!' (my definition), that is evoked by slowly strumming these chords on the guitar. Some say this unique sound makes them feel somewhat sad and disoriented. Others experience liberation when hearing these chords played fast, as in Latin jazz, or slow, as in the signature song by the Carpenters, 'Close to You'.
