Questions

Is maj7 the same as 7?

No. A maj7 chord adds the note one fret below the root (soft and jazzy); a 7 chord adds the note two frets below the root (bluesy and restless).

How do I read a chord diagram?

The vertical lines are the strings, with the thickest (low E) on the left. The horizontal lines are frets. A dot shows where to press, and the number inside is the finger to use: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 little. A circle above the nut means play the string open; an X means don't play it.
