Bm7 Ukulele Chord
Drawing together B, D, F# and A, this minor seventh has a smooth, relaxed character that softens its minor roots. It's common in pop, soul, jazz and R&B, frequently working as a gentle ii chord in the key of A major or as a restful minor color elsewhere.

How to Play This Chord
Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the four strings, from the top G string (left) to the A string (right), and the horizontal lines are the frets. Numbers inside the dots indicate which finger to use: 1 (index), 2 (middle), 3 (ring), 4 (pinky). An X means don't play that string; an O means play it open. A bar spanning multiple strings means one finger presses across all of them at once — this is known as a barre chord.
Tips & Tricks
Barre your index flat across all four strings at the second fret and press evenly so every string rings. Because it's a full barre, keep your thumb low and centered behind the neck for leverage, and roll your finger slightly toward its side to dodge the soft creases. Slide this same shape down two frets and it becomes Am7, which is all open strings.
