Not sure where you’re getting G from. and the b7 would be Bb.

Well … what if I told you most folks are thinking about function and context when they make decisions about which extensions and voicings they’re playing and that, from a certain perspective, asking...

C root E 3rd G 5th B b7 Db b9 D##9 Gb b5 G# #5

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

The 7th is a Bb not a B. There is no (natural) 13 (A). the #5 and the b13 is the same note. (Same with #11 and b5.) I wrote this previously: Another way to phrase this is that you select...

I don't like Breyer, which was my point. I've never had chocolate ice cream be better than bad vanilla. I'm on fire in this thread. Can't get a single point across today. LOL

Definitely doesn’t. Not sure where you’re getting that.

If it weren't red I'd probably be all over it. Interesting that they chose to price the L4C so close to this one.

I just think it's lazy to have everything else defined and then Alt can mean 9 different chords and I have to guess which one will work.

From your other post. C E G B Db D# Gb G# is C7 with a b9 #9, b5 and #5.

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

You people are weird. If I see 7alt what makes you think I'd play a 9 or a straight 13? Weird. None of my dom voicings have the 5 in them anyway.

Are you implying it should actually lean backwards a bit?

Or you leave this imperfection as a sign of being a hand-built instrument but instead improve the design. It never made sense to me that they'd use through-the-top PU and controls but not a ditto...

how to fix string alignment

That's one of many options. The G7b9b13(no5) is same as Abm6/G or Fø/G. So you can use your Ab jazz minor* magic tricks on G7b9b13. If you take a Abo7 chord and replace the Ebb with a Eb, and...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

Chord symbols are always up to some interpretation. Does C13 have an 11 in it? A sharp 11? No 11? Does it even need to have the 9? Is Cm11 a quartal or all those stacked thirds? Can you...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

Super Locrian has a b11. In fact, that's why it's called super (locrian with a b11). But you're right in the sense that I don't know if anyone plays it as a chord with a b11. It's only used...
