How to play Fm(maj7) on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the six strings at the 1st fret and your middle finger on the D string at the 2nd fret. Don’t play the A string.
From the low E string 1 x 2 1 1 1 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier Fm(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 3rd fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 5th fret, your little finger on the B string at the 5th fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 4th fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
