        Hi all,

        Hoping you can help. I’m struggling with this chord progression as I can’t figure out finger placements.

        The Bm7 for example – what is the correct finger placement?

        Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

          Hi Ben,
          That’s a common way to play the Bmin7. Middle finger on the root B, 6th string (also muting the 5th string) and ring finger bars the 7th fret, 4th, 3rd and 2nd string for the flat 7, flat 3rd and 5th intervals (also muting the high E string). When he covers the 5th fret, 6th string with the index finger it’s still a rootless Bmin7, just doubling up on the flat 7.
