Hi Slammer,soo great to hear from you!!  Actally,it's a min maj7 chord. Why? Cause it has base of a minor chord which is A C and E. Then we just add maj7 which is G# and there you go. It sounds...hmm...bit odd...jazzy...scary... HOLY...I missed sub-board!! Delete this post Andrew and pardon me.

Judging by the naming its the chord also known as Aminor major 7. The minor refers to the A, so it is an A minor chord, with an added Major 7th, and would have the following notes: 1 b3 5 7 A C E G# They are fairly wierd sounding chords ... EDIT - Dammit Muris - beat me again, and on my own board too!

QUOTE (benhowell @ Aug 17 2007, 08:23 PM) Im suprised youve ever seen it spelt that way, as thats highly ambiguous! Like Andrew and Muris say it equates to a MinMaj7 which is reasonably common in jazz circles. Obviously spelling it that way contradicts the tonality of the chord- you cant have a major 3rd and a min 3rd in the same chord as the 3rd defines whether it IS major or minor- do you know where you saw it spelt that way? Sorry for hijacking, i got really intrigued-Hijack my threads if you like Andrew!! -Ben I actually think that "Amaj7 b3" makes more sense than A minor major 7 ... the key with "minor major 7" is to realize that the minor relates to the A, and the major relates to the 7th I remember this one from way back.

QUOTE (benhowell @ Aug 17 2007, 09:15 PM) The thing is, the way Amaj7b3 is spelt implies that both the major 3rd and the minor 3rd are present-the min 3rd as an extension. You could play it that way but it would clash terribly. AminMaj7 implies its simply an Aminor chord with a major 7th, which to me is much less confusing. ive never ever seen a chord called Amaj7b3, even in complex jazz charts. Technically you could argue they are not the same chord-the spelling of Amaj7b3 implies it has both the b3 and the major 3rd, whereas the AminMaj7 simply means a minor chord with a major 7th added. Confusing!  -Ben Yeah, I see what you mean, makes sense - if it were written like that it should really be Amaj7b10 and it would be a different chord and sound absolutely awful! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (benhowell @ Aug 18 2007, 03:52 AM) Indeed Andy, and with a semitone clash between the b3 and maj3rd it would really be cringleful! Points to the person who makes it sound musical, without disregarding it as 'jazz'!! -Ben Let us call it 7/+9...thumbs up for blues and jazz.
