Gb m Guitar Chord | Play, Hear and Practice Interactively
Gb, Bbb and Db make up Gbm, the Gb minor chord. It sounds identical to F#m, whose spelling uses the plain A instead of a double flat, so F#m is simpler to read.
The page lists four voicings, three of them barre shapes, starting at the 2nd fret and reaching the 11th. Spelling it with Bbb is correct theory but awkward to read. The Gb minor scale contains all three notes.
Barre shapes mute easily, so use the microphone check in the player at the top to see whether every string rings.
Gb minor guitar chord is also written as Gbm, Gbmin, Gb- or Gbmi.

FAQ
What is the spelling of Gbm?
Gb, Bbb and Db. Bbb is a double flat, the minor third of Gb, and Db is the perfect fifth.
Why does Gbm contain a double flat?
A third up from Gb must be a B letter name, and a minor third there is Bbb, which sounds the same as A. Keeping the letter B preserves the stack of thirds.
Is F#m the same chord as Gbm?
Yes, F#m is F#, A and C#, which sounds identical and avoids the double flat. Both names are correct.
How many voicings of Gbm can you play on guitar?
Four voicings are listed, three of them using a barre and none using open strings. They span fret 2 to fret 11.
In which keys does Gb minor appear?
In sharp-side naming, it is the vi chord in A major, the ii chord in E major and the iii chord in D major, and the i chord in F# minor.
