Chord Of The Week 13/12/14 - Ammaj7

bigjonbigjon Frets: 680
edited December 2014 in Technique
Formula is 1 b3 5 maj7, which in A is A C E G# - xx7554.

Open position is:
Ammaj7: x02110

Useful higher positions are:
Ammaj7: x0x554
Ammaj7: x0655x

Often used in progressions descending from Am, like last week's Ammaj9 as the second chord of Stairway. Answer to last week's quiz question: Aztec Camera's cover of 'Jump' by Van Halen humorously references the Stairway intro under the line 'Can you see I'm standing here I've got my back against the racket machine'

What useful Ammaj7 chords and extensions can you come up with?
