Examples of use
The maj7 or Major 7th chord (sometimes written as △7 to avoid confusion with minor chords - eg. G△7) is usually found on either the I or the IV (1st of 4th) degrees of a major scale.
So in G major, this would be Gmaj7 or Cmaj7.

Major 7th chords are one of the Diatonic 7th chords we talk about in the theory lesson here.
