G flat major 5 7th chord1/20/2024 ![]() Now that we’ve established our key, we’re ready to make some chords! Each chord has a “root” note which gives the chord its name. For simplicity’s sake, we’ll look at the key starting with A and containing no sharps or flats this key is known as “A minor”. Also, ♭13 implies that the unaltered 5th occurs in the chord, while ♯5 does not.Though there are twelve notes available, any given song will stick – for the most part – to a set of seven notes that form the “key” of the song. In this text, ♯5 is preferred to ♭13, but you will see both on lead sheets. ♭13 is the enharmonic equivalent of the ♯5. You may be tempted to call such a chord a minor chord with a ♭11, but ♭11 is not used because it is the major third of a chord.īoth alterations of 5 and 9 may occur simultaneously (☙/±5). The ♯9 is often spelled enharmonically on the staff as ♭10 for ease of reading therefore, a dominant seventh chord with a ♯9 will appear to have both a major and minor 3rd (C–E–G–B♭–E♭). ![]()
