Example 8-5, page 36.

If you never looked at the standard notation or the tab of that final G chord.....

G C# F# C

Gmaj11/13b5 ????

What's up with that?:eek::confused:o_O

i believe that's referred to as the Typo Chord.

Hmmm....

A Major type o'chord or minor type o'chord?

I would call it a Major type o'chord, but if I'm the only one who ever noticed it, it must be pretty minor.

But it's definitely not pretty, either.

Looks like the errata page is locked down so a moderator will have to add it. In my paper copy (and now in the pdf copy) I had added this notation:

As for the original question, since there is both a C and a C# it can't be a named chord since it is imaginary :LOL:

If you change the C natural to its enharmonic equivalent a B# and the C# to its equivalent Db then you'd have the classic G-B#-Db-F# of the Gmaj7#3b5 :confused::whistle:
