F 9♭5 Arpeggio

Formula R – 9 – 3 – ♭5 – ♭7

The F 9♭5 Arpeggio arpeggio outlines the notes F, G, A, B, E♭ across the entire fretboard. Playing these 5 notes individually creates melodic lines that follow the chord shape. Contains 1 flatted note.

The 7♭9♯9 stacks both altered ninths on a dominant chord, creating maximum chromatic tension. It's a rare, aggressive altered sound used when you want the most dissonant dominant possible before resolving.

Built from R, 3, ♭7, ♭9, ♯9 (the 5th is typically omitted), this chord piles two clashing altered tones on a dominant 7th. The ♭9 and ♯9 sit only a whole step apart, creating intense friction. It functions as a supercharged dominant chord that can resolve to either major or minor.

This voicing is extremely tight on guitar — you need to carefully select which notes to include. A practical approach is to voice it with root, 3rd, ♭7, and either the ♭9 or ♯9 on adjacent strings, implying the other. Most guitarists encounter this sound through the altered scale rather than a specific grip.
