Chords in the key of F# major on guitar

The key of F# major has seven diatonic chords: F#, G#mG#mG#mG#m, A#mA#mA#mA#m, B, C#, D#mD#mD#mD#m and E#°. As sevenths: F#maj7F#maj7F#maj7F#maj7, G#m7G#m7G#m7G#m7, A#m7A#m7A#m7A#m7, Bmaj7Bmaj7Bmaj7Bmaj7, C#7C#7C#7C#7, D#m7D#m7D#m7D#m7 and E#m7b5. They come from the F# major scale, F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D# and E#, one on each note. On guitar, the shapes below are the seventh chords of every degree, and the tonic one has F# in the bass.

On the guitar, six strings give the chord room to breathe — some positions use them all, others ask you to mute the lowest ones. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
