Play G maj7 on Classical Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The G maj7 chord is a major seventh — a lush, jazzy extension of the major triad. It is built from the notes G, B, D, F#. This page shows how to play G maj7 on Classical Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the D, G and B strings open and takes the rest at fret 2, reaching across 2 frets. G falls on the E string. It sounds from G2 up to F#4. 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 G 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.
