I knew I'd have another question as soon as I sent the last note! It's
been 23 years since I took music theory in college, and though I
remember a lot, this song interpretation is really challenging my old
brain here!! What I did is have the piano player play the song into a
midi file so I could interpret the chords he's playing and notate the
song for the composer (the piano player plays by ear only)... What is
the "rule of thumb" on when you call a chord a 9th, 11th, or 13th? I
remember something about the 7th needing to be present or otherwise
you'd call it a 6th instead of 13th or an "add2" instead of a 9th...??
This particular chord definitely has the "dominant" feel/sound to it and
is used in that way as it leads to the tonic. The song is in Cm. This
chord I'm trying to define is:
G - F - C - Eb - G - Bb
Would this be a Gm13? Or what?!!
I'd call this a Cm7sus4.
