Lesson 7 – MINOR 7 AND 9 Chords

Reference guide for m7 and m9 Chords with the root in the first position. I intentionally omitted the sharps and flats to keep the charts less congested. 

Example: The Bm7 chord is played by barring and strumming strings 2, 3, 4, & 5 on the 2nd fret. If you want to be able to include the B-String in your strumming pattern, you can. You will just need to fret the B-String with your middle finger one fret further down (3rd fret). This form can be used to play every m7 chord up and down the fretboard.  Practice moving back and forth between chords.

Example: The Bm9 chord is played using strings 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6. This form can be used to play every m9 chord up and down the fretboard.
