Ah yes, the little known major flat 13 sharp minor chord... Only for the most advanced metal players and novice jazz players. I saw an intermediate country player attempt it once and he caught fire on stage.Not sure about the next note? Take a Steve Harris stance and play a chord, containing all possible notes.
