In the dromoi
None of the dromoi on this site lists C♯maj7 among its chords, so it is shown here as a shape reference.
Trichordo (D-A-D) and tetrachordo (C-F-A-D)
These shapes are for the three-course trichordo. A tetrachordo’s A and D courses are tuned the same, so the top two notes stay put and the low-D bass note moves two frets up the C course. The first shape, 11-11-10 on trichordo, becomes C 13, A 11, D 10 on tetrachordo, with the F course left out.
