Gb — Major
F♯ · A♯ · C♯
The Gb chord is built from the root, a major third, and a perfect fifth — F♯, A♯, C♯. Bright and stable — the first chord most pianists learn and the anchor of countless songs.
Gbm — Minor
F♯ · A · C♯
The Gbm chord is built from the root, a minor third, and a perfect fifth — F♯, A, C♯. Darker and more wistful than major, and just as common across every style.
Gbaug — Augmented
F♯ · A♯ · Cx
The Gbaug chord is built from the root, a major third, and a raised fifth — F♯, A♯, Cx. Restless and dreamlike; often a stepping-stone between two ordinary chords.
Gb7 — Dominant seventh
F♯ · A♯ · C♯ · E
The Gb7 chord is built from a major triad plus a minor seventh — F♯, A♯, C♯, E. Bluesy and unresolved; the workhorse of blues, gospel and jazz turnarounds.
Gbm7 — Minor seventh
F♯ · A · C♯ · E
The Gbm7 chord is built from a minor triad plus a minor seventh — F♯, A, C♯, E. Mellow and smooth — the backbone of soul, R&B and jazz comping.
Gbm7b5 — Half-diminished (m7♭5)
F♯ · A · C · E
The Gbm7b5 chord is built from a diminished triad plus a minor seventh — F♯, A, C, E. Also called half-diminished; most often the "ii" chord that opens a minor ii–V–i.
Gbdim7 — Diminished seventh
F♯ · A · C · E♭
The Gbdim7 chord is built from four notes stacked in minor thirds — F♯, A, C, E♭. Maximally tense and perfectly symmetrical — a favourite for passing and leading between chords.
