What does the + mean in G7+? How do I find it on the Guitar Chords page? My only guess is that it means to add a fill note. I have Band in a Box. I just got it so I am not to familiar with this kind of program yet.

...the plus "+" symbol denotes AUGMENTED 5th or sharp 5th (#5), the opposite of negative "-" symbol indicating DIMINISHED 5th or flat 5th (b5).

...thus, G7+ means G7aug5 and also G7#5...basically a 7th chord with all 5th degree notes raised/sharped/augmented.

...and the DEVIL said: "...yes, but it's a DRY heat!"

Here's the G7+ or G7aug5's from a lesson in the 'Make Just About Any G Chord' thread here in 'Chordbook Main Forum' on page 5 of that lesson.
