So now, we briefly touched upon B flat seven in the last segment, but now, we're going to really take a look at it, and again we make B flat our root, right, then we have one, three, five, seven, and then we have nine, eleven, thirteen here. So we have this new block chord. And again you can play it here and then mess around with the voicings. Really move around, see what you like personally.
