Notes:

To produce a simple variation of a Cm7, Cmaj7, Cdim, or CmM7 chord, omit the finger positions shown in parentheses (on the keys).

The diagram above shows only one possible finger position for each chord. It is possible to play a chord using several different finger positions. For example, the following three finger positions produce the same C chord.
