Play C maj7sus4 on Viola: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The C maj7sus4 chord is a suspended chord that swaps the third for a second or fourth, leaving the harmony open and unresolved. It is built from the notes C, F, G, B. This page shows how to play C maj7sus4 on Viola with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The C string ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes stopped in position 3 over a 2-position stretch. The root is the C string itself. It sounds from C3 up to C5.
Viola is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.
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.
