Play F maj9 on Tenor Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The F maj9 chord is a major extended chord that stacks ninths, elevenths, or thirteenths over a major-seventh foundation for a rich, jazzy color. It is built from the notes F, G, A, C, E. This page shows how to play F maj9 on Tenor Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The G and A strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 2 over a 4-fret stretch. F falls on the C string. It sounds from F3 up to A4.
It has a flat wooden top, so the same grip sustains far longer than it does on a tenor banjo.
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.
