D m7 Chord on 12-String Guitar
Play D m7 on 12-String 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 12-String Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The D string ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1 over a 2-fret stretch. 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.
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 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.
