C7#5b9 / Bbm7b5 / Gb9 / Dbm6

The recent Guitar Chord a Day series 12 Dominant 7th Chords, introduced 12 useful dominant 7th guitar inversions.

Today's guitar chord of the day is actually four chords in one:
  • C7#5b9
  • Bbm7b5
  • Gb9
  • Dbm6
  • C7#5b9 Guitar Chord
 Dominant 7th chords are easy to modify to create other chords:
  • Lower the 3rd one fret to make a minor7 chord
  • Raise the b7 one fret to make a major7 chord
  • Raise the root two frets to make a 9th chord
Thinking of our guitar chord as a C7#5b9 - this could be created by taking this dominant 7th chord and raising the root and the 5th by one fret to create a 7#5b9 chord.

Thinking of our guitar chord as a Bbm7b5 - this could be created by taking this dominant 7th chord and lowering the 3rd and the 5th by one fret to create a m7b5 chord.

Thinking of our guitar chord as a Gb9 - this could be created by taking this dominant 7th chord and raising the root note by two frets to create a 9th chord.

Thinking of our guitar chord as a Dbm6 - this could be created by taking this dominant 7th chord and lowering the 3rd and the 7th by one fret to create a m6 chord.
