F#maj7 Ukulele Chord

A dreamy, jazz-tinged major seventh spelled F#, A#, C# and F. It brings a smooth, romantic float to bossa nova, soul and mellow pop, and works nicely as a richer stand-in for an ordinary F# major.

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

This is the Fmaj7 shape moved up one fret, starting at the second fret: ring finger on the G string, pinky on the C string two frets above it, index on the E string, and middle on the A string. Because it's a movable shape, keep the same finger spacing and just shift the whole hand up the neck.
