F maj7 Chord on 12-String Guitar
Play F maj7 on 12-String Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The F maj7 chord is a major seventh — a lush, jazzy extension of the major triad. It is built from the notes F, A, C, E. This page shows how to play F maj7 on 12-String Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the E string open and takes the rest at fret 1, reaching across 3 frets. The E and A strings stay silent, so 4 of 6 sound. F falls on the D string. It sounds from F3 up to E4. 6 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 F 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.
