cmaj7

• The numbers (in hex (a === 10, b === 11)) represent interval in semitones above tonic. E.g. 0: tonic, 4: major third, 7: perfect fifth (dominant), b: major seventh.
• The first line (without dots) represents empty strings. Lines have a semitone distance
• It's up to the player to choose a comfortable fingering.
  • choose all the numbers if possible, or as many as possible
  • choose the more significant tones. e.g. b matters for the character cmaj7 more than 4 or 7
  • you may want 0 (tonic) at the lowest played string
