2C Maj7 top 4 Strings
C7 on the lower 4 Strings
By lowering the 7th degree of Maj7 you will create a Dominant 7th Chord
C7 on Middle 4 Strings
C7 on top 4 strings
About Dominant Chords- If the tri-tone (the 3rd and b7) are in the upper register they tend to sound corny. When theTri-tone is in the middle of the voicing or spread they tend to sound much better. Guide tone voicings onthe lower strings and their potential colors sound much stronger. Use your ear to find drop 2 dominants that you like and discard those you don't like.
