- F#M3A#m3C#M3E#
F# Major 7, written F#maj7, is built from F#, A#, C# and E#: the root, major 3rd, 5th and major 7th.
Its 3rd and 7th, A# and E#, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass.
In the progressions here, F#maj7 is the Imaj7 of the Major ii-V-I Progression in F# and the IIImaj7 of the Coltrane Changes in D.
