What is true of it
Gmaj7 is G, B, D and F♯ — 1, 3, 5 and 7 counted from G.
On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.
The easiest of the 3 fingerings below is 0222: 3 fingers, held at the 2nd fret.
1 of them use open strings, which is what makes a shape quiet to change to.
1 of the 3 need a barre.

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.
