The '+' sign usually means an augmented chord, which has a raised fifth and a major 7th.


So in B:


B D# Fx (G) A#


See the 'wholetone scale' thread for ideas on soloing over augmented chords.

 

 

Actually +7 means 1, 3, #5, b7. Raised fifth and maj7 is "maj7 #5" or "#5 maj7" (schools out on which is correct). 7 without the maj prefix implies dominant (b) 7.

Depends. While 7 without the maj usually means dominant 7th, in the case of a seventh on top of an augmented triad, it is common to assume that a major 7th is called for. But that's simply one style of chord notation, everybody seems to do things a little different. I'll agree that the notation you described is more consistent that the one I posted.
