Thanx for the response Lucky & Diki.

Actually though, as I mentioned, I know solfege. I have NO problem figuring out solfege.I had it in music college and have a degree in music, 98.6 I always say.haha

My main question remains unresloved, which is as stated in the original post:

"The first chord in question looks like a C7+ and is also shown as Do7+. This I would have thought was indicating a C7 augmented but as I analyze the fretboard pic and the notation it appears what they intended was CMaj7."

So, outside of C being the same as Do, which I knew, what about the question of the augmented 7 vs Maj7.

Does anyone know is there a difference between our cultures where in Spanish music they say C7+ and actually mean in the real world CMaj7, or is this a typo????

One example I am aware of between standard western symbols and in Germany and Russia that they have an H in their musical scale! Same as our B.

How about it anyone know the answer to my question?

Thanx
