It's a common modern jazz convention to add flats to chord III, VI and VII in the minor. The flat is referring to the distance of the chord from the minor tonic. This is a diatonic harmony! We don't get entangled in harmonic or melodic!! Remember, root refers to scales, but tonic relates to chords. Major R 2 3 4 5 6 7 - these are the notes I ii iii IV V vi vii* - these are the triads from the notes. C Dm Em F G Am B* - Chords in C Major We do the same with the minor R 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 - these are the notes i ii* bIII iv v bVI bVII - these are the triads from the notes. Am B* C Dm Em F G - Chords in A minor (same chords as Major but in a different order) Chord bIII is a b3rd from the minor tonic. Chord bVI is a b6th away from the minor tonic, and finally chord bVII is a b7 distance from the minor tonic. Notice how the note and chords share the same information. If we leave it out we're losing information that translates as scale shapes and key grids. #rickysguitar #musictheory #musickeys
