G#mMaj7 Ukulele Chord

G#mMaj7 carries a tense, shadowy beauty from G#, B, D# and the high G major seventh. The bright seventh grinding gently against the minor triad gives it a moody, suspenseful character favored in jazz, film scoring and brooding contemporary writing.

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

Set your index on the G string at fret 1, your middle finger on the A string at fret 2, then add the ring finger on the C string and pinky on the E string, both at fret 3. Coordinating four fingers across three frets is the hurdle here — place the index anchor first, then drop the ring and pinky together as a pair so the higher strings sound evenly.
