"Cmaj7" stands for C Major-Seventh, as it has the major 7th note added to a C major chord (not to be confused with C7). As this is a beginner's entry, we needn't get too much into the theory behind chord names and chord sounds.
Starting from the C major chord position:
1. Lift your index finger OFF the B string, 1st fret - the B string is now OPEN.
2. Keep your middle finger on the D string, behind the 2nd fret.
3. Keep your ring finger on the A string, behind the 3rd fret.
4. Avoiding the Low E string, strum the Cmaj7 chord.
These fingering directions aren't really directions...they're more like suggestions. Try playing the Cmaj7 with your index finger and your middle finger! (Or other fingers!) Use your imagination, use your intuition, and play some guitar!
