An altered chord you can try

“The Bb7 (b9) Chord”

Here is where I introduce “altered” chords to you!

An alteration occurs when a note is raised or lowered by a half step. Above, you will see that there is a “b9″ in parentheses. The flatted 9 is an example of an alteration. This chord is simply a:

“Bb Seventh chord with a lowered 9th tone.”

Here is how you play it:

Bass = Bb

Right hand = B + D + F + Ab

I usually play this chord during a “6-2-5-1″ chord progression. That is, I play it right before I play an Eb minor chord. In other words, it leads to an Eb chord!

If you don’t know what “2-5-1″, “6-2-5-1″, “3-6-2-5-1″, or “7-2-6-2-5-1″ 1″ progressions are, you really need to consider my course. It covers all of this!
