The B m(maj9) chord is a minor/major extended chord pairing a minor third with a natural seventh and upper tensions. It is built from the notes B, C#, D, F#, A#. This page shows how to play B m(maj9) on Puerto Rican Cuatro with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The B and D strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 2 over a 5-fret stretch. The root is the B string itself. It sounds from A#3 up to C#5.
Puerto Rican Cuatro is strung in five courses of two, the lower two paired an octave apart, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on B 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.
