C m7 Chord on Mandolin
Play C m7 on Mandolin: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The C m7 chord is a minor seventh — a smooth, mellow staple of jazz, soul, and funk. It is built from the notes C, D#, G, A#. This page shows how to play C m7 on Mandolin with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the G string open and takes the rest at fret 1, reaching across 3 frets. C falls on the A string. It sounds from G3 up to G5. 2 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 5.
Mandolin is strung in four courses of two, each pair tuned in unison, 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 C 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.
