Submission Travis Dykes - Gospel Bass

Yes, I can hear that Eb
Yes. I now hear it too (Thanks) and that chord is now something like - Bb7sus,9... If you listen "Globally" there (m.2) the ROOT movement of the Harmony is:
in the key of F: 1 - 4 - 1 that is - F to Bb to F with the bass playing the inversions.

ascending chord notes) Eb - Bb - F - G - D.
I don't understand your voicing - there is a Bb in the bass...why do you have an Eb in the bass and a Bb buried in the voicing?
Here is that isolated chord, just at the 20% tempo.
I hear the movement from G# to A
The G# to my ears is almost non-existent/inaudible (even at 20% tempo it still evaporates quickly), and the A is the more important note there. It is an F... chord, with a C in the bass to me. Keyboardist's finger glancing off of the G# on its way to A - Maybe?
It has Eb note in that chord, that's why I included "maj."
If there is a "D7..." chord with an Eb in it, it is commonly named "D7b9" - there is no need to say "maj".
Also - FYI - "D7, 13" voicing would contain a B natural, along with the F#, C, and the D in the bass - I'm very confused by your nomenclature.
OK, then, it's the Bb13 chord: (ascending) Bb - G - Ab - C - D - F - Eb.
Whoa...That Eb at the top of your voicing is not at all common - if there is an Eb (and a "D") in a Bb7,9,13 chord, the chord name should be "Bb7,sus, 9,13 add 3" and the Eb (the "sus" of Bb) should not be voiced the way you have it - a b9th (interval) above the D. It sounds very dissonant and is not at all common to voice it that way.
Like this is better - (Bb in the bass) then ascending - G,Ab,C,Eb,F,D...or spread out even nicer - Ab,C,Eb,G,D. (no F needed - it is just the 5th and is not structural.
Finally - do you have access to a keyboard of any type? Just wondering. My $100 junky piano is the best investment I ever made.
We're all / I'm still - learning.
Thanks, Who.
