Any tips on how to grow an extra hand for this piece?

[@tommyalison2554]

can always invert the same chords inwardly so you don’t have to stretch that far

@@rnrdesigner572 Ebm7(9,11) is the ii chord of Db. D7#11(9,13) serves as the tritone substitution for Ab7alt, which is the V chord of Db. What makes this chord progression so cool is that in a minor key (Dbm), the ii chord is typically a half diminished chord. However, we have Ebm7(9,11) suggesting that D7#11(9,13) will resolve into Dbmaj7. Surprisingly, it resolves to Dbm7(9,11), creating a deceptive cadence N1. Additionally, using the minor (rather than half diminished) ii chord opens the opportunity for the final part of the progression: Dbm7(9,11) Gb#(9,13) (N.C it’s a auto captions mistake), leading us back to Ebm7(9,11). This is known as a "back door" deceptive cadence N2 - bvii - bIII7 - im7 (another ii-V). In this case, the iim7 of Dbm7 temporarily becomes im7 - Ebm7(9,11) - through tonicization. This is possible because it is a minor seventh chord, rather than a half-diminished chord as typically found in a "normal" minor key, and we don't usually perceive the half-diminished chord as a tonic, even temporarily. So, there's a lot going on in this relatively short chord progression.

What’s “Db n.c.” mean?

[@MusicianParadise]

Usually, "N.C." means "No Chords". However, in this case, the ChordieApp I'm using for the auto-captions is not able to decipher the chord to write the caption. The missing chord is Gb7#11(9,13).

Exactly!
