Open
Beginner● On the diagramF♯ minor major 7th is played in open position as 2 0 3 2 2 ×: index finger on the low E string at fret 2, pinky finger on the D string at fret 3, middle finger on the G string at fret 2 and ring finger on the B string at fret 2. The A string rings open. The high e string stays muted.
Tip — The open voicing requires precise finger placement to avoid muting the open A string while fretting the adjacent low E string.
