Tips for playing G♭m(maj7) on guitar
On guitar, G♭m(maj7) is most often played as a barre chord across the 2nd fret (243222).
Notice the B𝄫 in G♭m(maj7) (G♭ B𝄫 D♭ F): each note of the chord takes its own letter (G–B–D–F), so the minor 3rd has to be written B𝄫 rather than A — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
