- G#m3BM3D#m3F#
G# Minor 7, written G#m7, is built from G#, B, D# and F#: the root, minor 3rd, 5th and minor 7th.
Its 3rd and 7th, B and F#, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass.
In the progressions here, G#m7 is the ii7 of the Major ii-V Progression in F#, the vi7 of the Deceptive Cadence in B, the iii7 of the Major iii-VI-ii-V Progression in E and the vii7 of the Bebop Rhythm Changes in A.
