Notes:

To produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, 9, or m9 chord, omit the finger positions shown in parentheses.

When producing a 7-5 or dim7 chord, the lowest note you play determines the root of the chord. Be sure that your fingering correctly defines the root you want.

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