Q. Please give me the diminished 7th chord on the piano for C.
Thank you.
A. On C a diminished 7th chord would be
C - Eb - Gb - Bbb (B double-flat, in other words, A natural)
C - Eb - Gb - A natural
A diminished 7th chord is simpyl all minor 3rds (one whole step and one half step each). How it's spelled (the note names) depends on the role in which the chord is functioning
What is a Gflat augmented7 on the piano?
Q. also what is a Bflat 9t, could you spell out the chord for me? its written wierd.
A. It is a Gb aug chord with a minor 7th added to it: Gb Bb D Fb
B flat 9 (is the "t" a mistake?) is Bb D F Ab C
(there is also Bb add9 = Bb D F C)
Can someone help me with this chord voicing?
Q. Cm7(b5)/G
If it was just Cm7/G I know it would be voiced like this (high to low down the page):
Eb
C
Bb
G
Do I add a flat 5 (Gb) to the top, to the bottom or do I assume a flatted root G of the second inversion??
I meant high to low notes, rather than strings. It's a piano voicing I'm trying to figure out.
A. Yes, add the Gb to the top. The G bass is a natural G.
And Leftie, I didn't give you the thumbs down, but you're just wrong. Look at your answer. The voicing you gave does NOT include a Gb.
In addition, a m7b5 is NOT THE SAME a min 6th chord with the min6 on the 6th string. A flatted fifth and a minor 6th are two different notes.
"The melodic flatted fifth (flat 5) is formed by playing two notes that are six steps apart on the piano. This interval is very dissonant sounding. In the middle ages, music theorists called this interval the "devil in music".
"The melodic minor sixth (m6) is formed by playing notes that are eight steps apart on the piano. This interval is quite dissonant and is very active sounding. This is a very wide interval and is used infrequently in melodies."
