What are the CAGED positions for the AbmMaj7 chord?
CAGED maps the AbmMaj7 chord onto five open-chord shapes (C, A, G, E, and D) moved up the neck. Each position gives the AbmMaj7 chord a different timbre and fingering, which is useful for voice-leading between chords, sliding between positions, or matching the register of a song.
How do I play the AbmMaj7 chord with a capo?
Capo shapes reuse open AbmMaj7 fingerings in any key by clamping the capo at the fret that transposes the shape to your target root (Ab). The voicings page shows capo-friendly AbmMaj7 shapes along with the capo fret each one requires, so you can keep easy open-position fingerings instead of barring.
What are inversions of the AbmMaj7 chord?
An inversion places a note other than the root (Ab) as the lowest-sounding pitch in the AbmMaj7 chord. The voicings page shows first inversion (lowest note Cb), second inversion (lowest note Eb), and third inversion (lowest note G), so you can choose the bass note and voice-leading that best fit your chord progression.
