In 4(b), the Keyboard Chord
Decoder shows how to make each of the four related min7b5 chords from the "chord
above; the raised note is the seventh of the new min7b5 chord. The music for 4(b)
shows the transformation of our pal the Ddim7 to an Fmin7b5 on beat 1 of bar 1,
and an Abmin7b5 over E on beat 4. In bar 3, the Dmin7 starts as a Dmin7b5 but
quickly morphs through a succession of related harmonies with the chromatic movement
of the inner voices, ultimately becoming a G#min7b5 over the E on beat 3, then
an Fmin7b5 over E on beat 4.
