What is am7 chord?

An Am7 chord is a four-note chord that consists of the notes A, C, E, and G. It is also known as the A minor seventh chord, and it is a commonly used chord in a variety of musical genres including rock, pop, and jazz.

To play an Am7 chord on guitar, you would use your first finger to bar the second fret across all six strings, then use your third finger to play the third fret on the second string (B). This creates a full, rich sound that is often used as a key change within a song or as part of a chord progression. The Am7 chord is often used as a substitute for other minor chords, such as the Am chord or the A minor sixth chord.
