— About this chord
G# minor-major 7th (1-♭3-5-7): a haunting, noir-tinged color that combines a minor third with a natural major 7th, giving a suspenseful, cinematic edge favored in film scoring and moody jazz balladry. The compact mid-neck grip keeps the tricky half-step clash between ♭3 and 7 close together for a tight, dramatic voicing, while the open-position and upper alternatives spread the tension out. Resolves naturally toward G#m or C#. Also searched as AbmMaj7, G#m(maj7), A♭mMaj7.
