Senroeash Posted March 1, 2022 Author Posted March 1, 2022 Oh that’s excellent! Thank you so much. I would say the root note is D, it’s from a typical flamenco sounding chord progression where this chord is substituted for Dm. The next chord is the same but with the C added in the bass, as a substitute for regular C. C/Dsus2(b6)? Also what does -5 mean in the A# -5 designation? Thanks again for your help! Quote

In this context, it indicates 'flattened'; I'd prefer to think of 'B flat, flattened fifth' in the case presented (I don't think of 'A#', usually...). It's a valid substitution for Dm, when passing through to C. Sounds good..! Quote
