Gmaj7b5 (Guitar, Intermediate)


A G Major chord is built from three notes: G (the root), B (the major 3rd), and D (the fifth).

To make a Gmaj7b5 chord - or any maj7b5 chord for that matter - you need a root note (G), a major 3rd (B), a diminished (flattened) 5th (C# or Db), and a major 7th (F# or Gb). The fingering pictured above is obviously one of the many ways to play Gmaj7b5 on the guitar.

Find and play other combinations of G-B-C#-F# on the guitar, using various octave inversions and voicings.
