Major 7ths are important because they define the sound of major 7 chords, which are used constantly in jazz, R&B, film music, and modern pop. As you listen, pay attention to how the interval sounds very close to an octave, creating a smooth but noticeable tension that gives the music a rich, emotional quality. Once your ear locks into that “almost an octave” sound, you’ll start hearing major 7ths in melodies, chords, and progressions all over the place. 


Some listening examples:


“Just the Two of Us” - Bill Withers


“Human Nature” - Michael Jackson


“Sunday Morning” - Maroon 5


“Somewhere Over the Rainbow” - Judy Garland


“Superman Theme” - John Williams
