Just like a minor chord, the half-diminished 7th chord is constructed using a minor third interval, so the roman numeral is shown in lower case. The roman numeral for number 2 is ' ii', and is used to indicate this is the 2nd chord in the scale. This supertonic 7th chords root / starting note is the 2nd note (or scale degree) of the Bb natural minor scale.

The B-flat minor chord ii ø 7 is the C half-dim7 chord, and contains the notes C, Eb, Gb, and Bb. You should experiment with using these new voicings in your own tunes, or tunes you have already learned.This step shows the supertonic 7th chord of the B-flat minor scale. There are many ways to go further from here. Now, because of the way the guitar is arranged, even more than 4 can be found, but for now, we’ll stick with these four.

What this means is there are four ways to play the same chord at the bare minimum. Since the chord has 4 notes in it, there are three inversions. If you play the chord Bb-D-F-G, it’s still G minor, you’re just playing an inversion of the chord.

So in the case of G minor 7th, the spelling is G-Bb-D-F. I’ve also attached a sound clip to practice to, or listen with to check your own progress.Ĭhords can have their spellings flipped around, and still be the same chord. These voicings should be memorized, and practiced in every key. The voicings are setup so the lowest note can also be switched to the highest one, effectively giving you two ways to play the same voicing, and doubling the amount of ways you can play the same chord. Here are 16 ways to play a G minor 7th chord for guitar. Is 16 ways to play the same chord enough? No haha.
