Play A m(maj11) on 12-String Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.

The A m(maj11) chord is a minor/major extended chord pairing a minor third with a natural seventh and upper tensions. It is built from the notes A, B, C, D, E, G#. This page shows how to play A m(maj11) on 12-String Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The shape nearest the nut leaves the A and D strings open and takes the rest at fret 1, reaching across 4 frets. The E string stays silent, so 5 of 6 sound. The root is the A string itself. It sounds from A2 up to G#4.

12-String Guitar is strung in six courses of two, the lower four 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 A 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.
