Hello there all! Kristian is my name (thought I should introduce myself again since it was a while I posted here).

Anyways.. I've started to look more into building chords and stuff but I haven't found the answer to this one: In a simple major chord like C-major or whatever. I, somehow, felt like playing C, E, Gb instead of a regular C, E, G and I want to know what that chord is called (well basically every I-III-Vb chord). Haven't found any info online so I turned to the smartpeople in here for the answer. Thanks

I'm pretty sure it's just called C(b5) -- (C flat five)

The flattened 5th usually used in exetnded chords as a tension note, not alone, such as
Cm7b5 (C, Eb, Gb, Bb) or
C9(b5) (C, E, Gb, Bb, D).
"You must stab him in the heart with the Bone Saber of Zumacalis... well, you could stab him in the head or the lungs, too... and the saber, it probably doesn't have to be bone, just anything sharp lying around the house... you could poke him with a pillow and kill him."
