How to Voice an Altered E Minor Chord

Alright E minor altered voicings are derived by going through again. We numbered it one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen so you have a E minor flat nine. So we take our nine and lower it a notch so we have this. A lot of tension in there right? Say we have an E minor sharp eleven, one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven. There it is right there so I sharp that and we have this. That sounds very pretty. Or if you have E minor sharp five, here's our five right? Now we're going to play this. So very simple process. Again, you just go through your scale and you go one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen and you alter the according voice.
