Is the chord A Major Flat 9 derived from the G melodic minor scale?


In the scale of G melodic minor, there is a B flat and a F# but I can't see any C# in the scale.

If the chord you are asking about is spelled A , C# , E , G# , Bb then it is Amaj7(b9) and could be built from just the notes in the A major or E major scales.

If it is spelled A , C# , E , G , Bb then it is A7(b9) and could be built with notes in the D major scale.

However, in both cases you would have to add the flat for the B as an altered note since the Bb does not occur naturally in those keys.

The first one could also be built from the notes in the A Double Harmonic scale (A, Bb , C# , D , E , F , G# , A) amd the second from the notes in the E Diminished (Octatonic) Scale (E, F# , G, A , Bb , C, C# , D# , E ).

There are probably other exotic scales that the chords could be built from!!

Musician, composer, teacher.

i don't think so.

the notes in an a major flat 9 chord are A, C#, E, G#, B flat

the G melodic minor scale has A, C nat., E, G nat., B flat (obviously not in that order, but just to show the difference)

I don't think so. What kind of 7th is in your chord? Maj7? Dom7?

If it's a dom7, it could function as V7b9/V in g minor. That wouldn't be too strange.
