D m7 Chord on Classical Guitar

Play D m7 on Classical Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.

The D m7 chord is a minor seventh — a smooth, mellow staple of jazz, soul, and funk. It is built from the notes D, F, A, C. This page shows how to play D m7 on Classical Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The shape nearest the nut leaves the D string open and takes the rest at fret 1, reaching across 2 frets. The E and A strings stay silent, so 4 of 6 sound. The root is the D string itself. It sounds from D3 up to F4. 5 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 10.

It has nylon strings on a wider, flatter neck than a steel-string guitar, which is why it is played fingerstyle rather than with a pick.

Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on D or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
