Any help? Big piano/orchestral chord. In Bb, functions as a subdom leading down to V (F7sus). The Gb on 6 at II would be best, but I'll take it up an 8v if necessary. Tonally it's very close to Gb7 (bVI in the progression, tritone sub) or even GbMaj7 going to F7sus (V). But the added color of the Ebm6 is gorgeous.

from left to right low E, A, D, G, B, E strings, number is fret and x is dead note. You can leave the top note off or not

Thanks! Must be a common thing, you guys answered so fast. I am a bit embarrassed to say what song it's for.

1x1234 would mean:
F - sixth string first fret
Don't sound the A string
Eb - fourth string first fret
A - third string second fret
D - second string third fret
G - first string fourth fret

If you want it up an octave, I use Gb C Eb Bb in 8th position.

It’s also a Cm7b5/Gb

I usually just play 2 x 1 3 1 x
No need to double the Gb

Cmi7b5 / Ab9 / D7b9#5 ..all depending on context and your ability to use subs that may incorporate this kind of thing
as others have shown you..your requested Ebmi6 with Gb in the bass-Gb Eb Bb C ..found on frets ... 2 1 3 1 / Strings 6 4 3 2
(played down an octave ...) this is the first inversion of this chord voicing--Eb C Gb Bb on strings 6 4 3 2-/ frets 11 10 11 11)
hope this is clear and helpsLast edited by wolflen; 10-14-2019 at 09:00 PM.
