------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just in case you're not certain what a "Cmaj7" is, it is a C chord with a B note (the seventh note in the C major scale)thrown in. Here's one simple way to play it on piano and guitar: GUITAR: If you play a regular C chord and just take your finger off the B string, then you have a Cmaj7 chord: normal C chord:
e- 0 (play open)
B- 1
G- 0
D- 2
A- 3
E- x (mute)
Cmaj7 chord:
E- 0
B- 0  <---- open B string, giving the C chord its 7th
G- 0
D- 2
A- 3
E- x
PIANO: Very simple here. To play a Cmaj7, all you have to do is stretch your fingers and add the B on top of the root triad (C-E-G chord --> C-E-G-B for Cmaj7) Now, when I play this song on piano, I start off the verse with a 2nd inversion C chord, and from there the Cmaj7 is super easy. All you gotta do is play what looks like an inversion of an Em chord but still play a C in the bass; so basically, you just switch out the C in your 2nd inv. C major chord with the B right next to it. (one-finger movement) If you have any questions, please ask! :) Just email me at [email protected]
