How do you fret a major 7th chord with root on 6th string in a R 3 7 style?

If fretted R 3 7 ( strings 6 5 4)itsounds a bit muddy. But fretting it R 7 3 (strings 6 4 3)makes fingering a bit awkward.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Root 6th string : R 7 3 on 6th,4th 3rd strings
Root 5th string : R 3 7 on 5th, 4th, 3rd strings.

So technically you can lower the b7 to M6.

Thank you.

Not really, for C major chord for example I always use the ring and little fingers fret nine on strings four and three, and the index finger on string six fret eight. It feels quite natural and comfortable for me.
