What are the CAGED positions for the C#dimMaj7 chord?
CAGED maps the C#dimMaj7 chord onto five open-chord shapes (C, A, G, E, and D) moved up the neck. Each position gives the C#dimMaj7 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 C#dimMaj7 chord with a capo?
Capo shapes reuse open C#dimMaj7 fingerings in any key by clamping the capo at the fret that transposes the shape to your target root (C#). The voicings page shows capo-friendly C#dimMaj7 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 C#dimMaj7 chord?
An inversion places a note other than the root (C#) as the lowest-sounding pitch in the C#dimMaj7 chord. The voicings page shows first inversion (lowest note E), second inversion (lowest note G), and third inversion (lowest note B#), so you can choose the bass note and voice-leading that best fit your chord progression.
