G minor7 b5

Todays Guitar Chord of the Day is Gm7b5. We played an alternative inversion of a m7b5 chord a few days ago.
This inversion has its root note on the guitars B string (root notes are shown as black boxes rather than circles in the chord diagrams. Have a look at the introductory post for more info on how to read chord diagrams).

Gm7b5 Guitar Chord
Minor7b5 chords use these scale degrees: 1, b3, b5, b7
Gm7b5 uses these notes: G, Bb, Db, F
Our inversion uses the notes in this order:     F, Bb, Db, G

As mentioned in the previous m7b5 post, m7b5 chords are four chords for the price of one:

Gm7b5 can also be considered as Eb9, Bb minor 6, A7#5b9. Heres why:

Gm7b5    = G, Bb, Db, F
Eb9         = Eb, G, Bb, Db, F
Bb minor 6 = Bb, Db, F, G
A7#5b9 = A, C# (Db), E# (F), G, Bb

Tomorrow starts the first of a series of themed weeks for Guitar Chord Of The Day.
