How to play A♭maj7 on piano

The A♭maj7 chord is A♭ C E♭ G: A♭ (root), C (major 3rd), E♭ (perfect 5th), G (major 7th).

Spread four fingers over the four notes, thumb on A♭ in the right hand and the little finger on A♭ in the left.

Each inversion moves the bottom note up an octave. Practicing them in a row teaches your hand the same chord in three or four shapes, so you can reach it from wherever your hand already is.
