Tips for playing F♯m(maj7) on guitar
On guitar, F♯m(maj7) is most often played as a barre chord across the 2nd fret (243222).
Notice the E♯ in F♯m(maj7) (F♯ A C♯ E♯): each note of the chord takes its own letter (F–A–C–E), so the major 7th has to be written E♯ rather than F — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
