How to play Cm7 on piano

The Cm7 chord is C E♭ G B♭: C (root), E♭ (minor 3rd), G (perfect 5th), B♭ (minor 7th).

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