How to play A♭m(maj7) on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the six strings at the 4th fret and your middle finger on the D string at the 5th fret. Don’t play the A string.
From the low E string 4 x 5 4 4 4 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier A♭m(maj7)
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the D string at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 1st fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Let the B string ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
