Cm7 (Guitar, Beginner)


Cm7 stands for C-minor seventh (or seven, if you like). It is more akin to C7 (C-major with a seventh note) than it is to Cmaj7 (C-major with a major-seventh note).

Starting from the C minor chord position:

1. Keep your index finger bar from the A string to the high E string, behind the 3rd fret.
2. Keep your middle finger on the B string, behind the 4th fret.
3. Keep your ring finger on the D string, behind the 5th fret.
4. Lift your pinky finger OFF the G string, 5th fret - the G string is now fretted behind the 3rd fret (by your index finger).
5. Avoiding the low E string, strum the Cm7 chord.
