Today's chord is similar to Chord #30 and Chord #65. In today's voicing, I avoided the 3rd of the chord therefore making it usable for both CMajor7 and Cminor(Maj7).
In the musical example, I played a repeating 3-3-2 picking pattern which is a very common rhythmic device particularly in rock (think of the piano part for the Coldplay song - Clocks). It is also used a lot in the music of New Orleans.
The chord progression implied is CMaj7-EbMaj7-BbMaj7-DbMaj7. In the jazz world, using one chord quality throughout a section of a song is referred to as using a 'constant structure'. It is also a great compositional device that is very friendly to guitarists.
Enjoy!
