Learn How to Play the Fm7 Guitar Chord

Learn how to play Fm7 chord (Also known as F Minor 7, F Minor 7th) on guitar, with this free online guitar chord lesson. The F Minor 7 Guitar Chord is a challenging chord to play, especially if you are an absolute beginner.

The Fm7 Guitar Chord is found by locating the 1, b3, 5 and b7 positions (F, Ab, C and Eb) of the F Major Scale: F, G, A, Bb, C, D, and E. The “b3” symbol is a flattened 3rd, which means that you take the 3rd step of the F Major Scale and flatten it by 1/2 step to get your Ab note. The “b7” symbol stands for a flattened 7th, which means you find the 7th position of the F Major scale and flatten it by 1/2 step to get your Eb note.  This chord is similar to the F Minor Guitar Chord only you are adding the Flattened 7th note of the F Major Scale, hence the name “Minor 7th”.

So the notes of the F Minor 7th chord are: F, Ab, C and Eb

Everything on the above chart should be self explanatory, except for the last three in the third column. They may need a bit of explaining. The O, or open symbol, simply means that you do not press down on any notes on that string. The X means you do not strum that particular string. The Barre symbol means you need to barre that particular fret. When you barre a fret you are pressing down on multiple strings at the same time with one finger.

Chord Playing Tips

Be sure that you are pressing down on the strings hard enough and play each string one at a time to make sure you have a nice clean sound. If any of the strings buzz or sound muted, then something is not right.
