Topic: C7th flat 9th

Could anyone tell me an easier playable version of cord C7 flattened 9th please? (for Lullabye of Birdland). I've got various chord charts (including the Chordie ones that are helpful) but am finding it hard to play that chord at all fluidly.

Thanks,

Bill.

Hi Bill, welcome to the forum. Check out this chord finder site, there are a few variations of a C7b9 shown (although none look to easy to me)

Good luck!

Thanks really helpful, that's a great site. Tricky though, I'd better get practicing!

You should include this chord on the thread "What's the hardest chord you've ever encountered" in the Acoustic section.

The C7b9 chord can be played in the first posistion since the 9th in a C scale is a D(2nd) just raise the C on the B string 1/2 fret to Db (2nd fret) the C is still in the chord on the 5th string 3rd fret x32320

And this, folks, is why theory matters.  smile
