C#mMaj7 Ukulele Chord

A shadowy, suspenseful voicing, C#mMaj7 pairs a minor third with a luminous major seventh across C#, E, G# and C. The clash of the high C against the C# root gives it a noir shimmer that suits dramatic film cues and dark jazz turns.

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

Lay your index finger on the G string at fret 1 and your middle finger on the C string at the same fret, then leave the E string open. Reach the pinky up to the A string at fret 3 — that one note delivers the haunting major-seventh edge, so curl it well to keep the open E ringing beside it.
