Question: is g major the same as g?
Answer: When unspecified, a chord is assumed to be the major chord. On a chart, G major is noted as “G”. ... The “Gmaj7” has both the 3rd and 7th degree the same as the major scale. The “Gmin7” indicates that both the 3rd and 7th are minor intervals, flatted one 1/2 step from how they are in the major scale.
