Abmaj7 adds one note to Ab: G, on top of Ab C Eb.
Which fingers do I use for Abmaj7?
Index finger: 6th string (low E), fret 4, ring finger: 4th string (D), fret 5, little finger: 3rd string (G), fret 5, middle finger: 2nd string (B), fret 4.
Will the game recognise my Abmaj7?
If Ab, C, Eb, G ring together, yes: ChordRunner listens through the microphone and also accepts a USB MIDI keyboard.
