The A#m7 chord (A# minor seventh) is spelled A#, C#, E# and G#. It sounds identical to Bbm7, which avoids the E# in its spelling.
The page lists three voicings, two of them barre shapes, and the lowest starts at the 1st fret. In sharp keys it is the ii chord of G# major and the vi chord of C# major. All four notes belong to the A# Dorian scale, a handy source of melody notes over the chord.
Play it into your microphone and let the player at the top show you which strings ring.
A# minor 7th guitar chord is also written as A#m7, A#min7, A#-7 or A#mi7.

FAQ
What notes make up A#m7?
A#m7, the A# minor seventh chord, is spelled A#, C#, E# and G#. The E# is the perfect fifth and the G# is the minor seventh.
Is A#m7 the same chord as Bbm7?
Yes, they sound the same, because A# and Bb are one pitch. Only the spelling changes, and A#m7 is the version written with sharps and the note E#.
Why does A# minor seventh contain E# instead of F?
Chord spelling stacks letter names: A, C, E, G. The fifth up from A# must therefore carry the letter E, and a perfect fifth up from A# lands on E#, which sounds like F.
How many ways are there to play A#m7?
The fingering data lists 3 voicings, running from the 1st fret to the 10th fret. Two of them are barre voicings and none uses an open string.
