Question about a chord in general (not dave related)

[fret]

If a song goes from A to G to A to D

Then towards the end it goes to

Bb to Ab to Bb to Ab

Ive wanted to know for sometime what those notes are called with the small (b) in front of them, and how are they played in relation to their whole-not counterparts?

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks

Bb is B flat. that means its half a step lower on the fretboard.

so a B flat would be played on the 6th fret low E...A flat would be 4th fret low E

that first one is a Bmajor 7

the second is B minor 7

[fret]

that first one is a Bmajor 7

the second is B minor 7

if the second is B minor 7 what is the 3rd because that's what I thought the third was.

[MWR]

First is B dominant 7th

Second is B major 7th

Third is B minor 7th

And to be completely thorough, with the six string fretted on 2 these would all be inversions maaning the lowest note is not the root. I would write them like this:

F#/B7

F#/Bmaj7

F#/Bm7

when i said first and second i was talkinga bout the two you were asking about...

and i figured the 2 fretted was a mistake.
