Quick fun MinMaj7 factoid I forgot to include- If you take an Augmented triad, you can pick any note and add in the tone a half step above it. This will give you a minMaj7 chord in some inversion or another. There is an Aug triad in every mM7 so you may get the Aug feel out of it, depending on the context

7:11 That's a good general explanation of why music theory is so important; especially if you're interested in creating music yourself. It's about chunking information and labeling stuff so that learning the whole language of music becomes easier and so you don't have to rely on just trial and error alone. Also: just being able to very quickly communicate musical ideas with others is such a blessing!

The "spooky" factor is actually a really late use of the "minor Major 7th" chord. It has been used for centuries as a retardation (i.e. a delayed resolution) rather than a "chord." Bach's St. Matthew Passion has a ton of amazing uses, but one of my favorites probably has to come from Monteverdi. When they used it back in the day it was usually to convey anguish and lament rather than "spookiness" or "mystery." It's a fantastic sound. You can also use the chord as a double retardation, but that's a much less common use.

Those also show up in the minor line cliche, like in "Stairway to Heaven", which goes from A minor to AmM7 but in third inversion.

Min(Maj7) under melodic minor has a super strange effect on solos. Take a fragment of Am(M7) as ascending arpeggio = G# C E G# (7 b3 5 7). This arpeggio has several tones from the augmented scale. But continue playing after this augmented triad up the melodic minor, gives you G# A B C. These are notes found in the diminished scale. So you can play an augmented scale run that leads into the diminished scale. And because both augmented and diminished scales repeat, you can play this augmented diminished run up and down the neck and it sounds crazy. Care needs to be taken as you can't use the full augmented or diminished scales, but playing scale fragments really works over min(M7)
