RE: [Harp-L] Minor II V I

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here are the spellings of the chords:

D minor 7 flat 5: D F Ab C
 (this type of chord is also called half-diminished 7ths)

G alt: G Cb F Bb Eb Ab Db 
 (Ab melodic minor scale voiced in 4ths)

C minor major 7: C Eb G B

You may be thinking of a G suspended (aka sus4) chord, which would contain a C.

An alt chord does contain an augmented 5th, yet it is not the same as an augmented chord, as it's not based on a triad structure. Instead it states the scale in a stack of 4th intervals (which is why you see C-flat intead of B in the G alt chord).

Do you mean G-Augmented with the seventh of G with an augmented 7th

The first chord would have a C instead of the B
