Chord & FretCm(maj7) on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this position the bass is Eb and the shape runs from fret 3 to 4. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Notes on C: C – Eb – G – BFormula: 1 – b3 – 5 – 7In the formula, the numbers count steps of the major scale starting from the note that names the chord; "b" lowers a half step, "#" raises one — and a slash names the bass note.
Where to use it: This is the classic suspense chord from spy movies — few notes, lots of atmosphere. It also opens the famous inner-voice trick that walks down one half step at a time: Am → AmMaj7 → Am7 → Am6.
