Open
Beginner● On the diagramG minor major 7th is played in open position as 3 1 0 0 3 2: ring finger on the low E string at fret 3, index finger on the A string at fret 1, pinky finger on the B string at fret 3 and middle finger on the high e string at fret 2. The D and G strings ring open.
Tip — The open voicing requires precise finger placement to avoid muting the open D and G strings while fretting the adjacent A and high e strings.
