FmMaj7 Ukulele Chord

Dense and dramatic, FmMaj7 gathers F, G#, C and E into a tight, suspenseful cluster. The bright major seventh hovering over the minor triad gives it a sultry, mysterious pull that suits spy themes, late-night jazz and cinematic slow burns.

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 the G, C and E strings at fret 1 with your index, then add the pinky on the C string at fret 4 and the ring finger on the A string at fret 3. Holding a three-string barre while the pinky reaches three frets higher is tough — press the barre with the bony edge of the index and keep your elbow tucked in for leverage.
