</div>The numbers refer not to the actual note played but to it's place in<br>
the scale. What the person replying was saying was that 7 chord is<br>
played by using the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th elements of the scale with<br>
the 7th one flattenned a semitone. The maj7 chord is the same but the<br>
7th note is not flattenned.<br>
<br>
Now you asked specifically about F7 and Fmaj7 so in this case the scale<br>
to which those numbers refer is the one that starts on 'F' so the notes<br>
you would actually play would be F A C Eb for F7 and F A C E for Fmaj7.<br>
Using the numbers you could work out what E7 or Emaj7 would be or<br>
indeed for any root note.<br>
