# A major 7th Guitar Chord

> The A major 7th major 7th chord, combining the root (A major 7th), major third C♯, perfect fifth E, and major seventh G♯, produces a lush, dreamy quality. The close interval between the fifth E and seventh G♯ adds a jazzy, sophisticated color, often conveying nostalgia, romance, or serenity. With E in the bass, this voicing functions as the 2nd inversion of A major 7th.
