*I agree

Leaving the listener with a sense of suspense and unresolved, which brings us to the C major chord next.

*this is where I disagree, if the next chord is C maj. then I would defintely label this chord as F.


Although the idea is there are two different phrases, the first in A minor which ends with E7(b13) to Fmaj7/A. Then a new one begins in C major. Point is the C major is not the final resolve, but Fmaj7/E. Re-voiced and renamed as Amaddb6, to make sense of a A harmonic minor cadence.

*your stretching things here.

Here’s a chord progression where it will work. Am - Dmaj - Am - G7 - Am - Dmaj - E7(b13) - Amaddb6.

*Dude, this chord progression sounds awfull, I hope you meant to write Dminor instead of major.
