B 7b5 Chord
How the B 7b5 chord is built: its notes, its interval structure, and where it fits.
The B 7b5 chord contains 4 notes: B – D# – F – A. It belongs to the altered family of chord qualities. Like every chord, it is defined by the distances (intervals) between its notes, not by any one instrument — which is why the same formula names the chord whether it is voiced on a fretboard, a keyboard, or a choir.
