Gm7

— About this chord

Gm7 (G minor 7) has a moody, smoky, introspective tone—somber yet warm, with a soulful, late-night feel. A staple in jazz and blues progressions, it also slips into neo-soul, R&B, and lo-fi hip-hop for a laid-back groove; in reggae and dub, its minor color carries deep bass vibes. On guitar it’s usually a barre chord (root-6 or root-5), beginner-to-intermediate, with jazzy extensions available for sophisticated voicings. It often serves as a ii chord in F major or a i in G minor, supporting modal, Dorian, or funk vamps that invite smooth resolution or circular jams. Great for melancholic hooks, smoky ballads, and groove-based bass lines seeking a cool, understated tension.
