Did I find a typo? I'm confused by the following sentence (emphasis mine):

So for the first chord the G is now moved to an A, for the second chord Bb in now C, Db is now Eb on the third chord and E is not Gb(F#) on the last chord.

Hey Everyone,
I had some folks email me asking for a follow up to this lesson, so I just posted a new article that talks about Jim Hall's favorite use of Diminished extensions and how he adds them to his comping and chord soloing. Check it out, thanks!

Hey,
Yeah those are right, the original Gdim7 chord is

G Bb Db E

And you can move each of the notes up a tone to produce

A C Eb F#

That's it!
