Playing D Minor Altered Chord Voicings

So now when we go and play D minor and we're changing up the different voicings, say you have like a D minor flat nine, again we just make D one. And we have one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, right? One, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen. Some, depending on what real book you're looking at, sometimes it's written as two, four and six but it's usually written as nine, eleven, thirteen. It's just something you got to get used to reading. But say we have a D minor flat nine, I'm just going to take the nine and flat it. And make sure that's in my voicing. No, flat nine is right here. Or say I have D minor sharp five... Or I could have D minor flat six where I have the same thing but I'm going to voice the five. And I'm going to avoid the six. You hear that a lot in this James Bond theme, you know? So again, you're just going in and altering the individual voice that is specified by the chord you're looking at.
