guitar chord
G♯maj7
Major triad with a major seventh: a half step below the root, an octave up.
Written the other way round it is A♭maj7 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it
G♯maj7 is G♯, B♯, D♯ and F𝄪 — 1, 3, 5 and 7 counted from G♯.
F𝄪 is a double sharp, and it has to be: every letter from G♯ upwards is used once, so the 7 cannot be written any other way.
On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.
The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is 43504x: 4 fingers, held at the 3rd fret.
None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.
1 string stays silent.
Where its notes are on the neck
The brass dots are G♯, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
