The half-diminished vi (Am7b5 in C minor) comes from melodic minor; it keeps the tonic’s colour while starting a cycle of fifths, A, D, G, C. It ends many minor tunes and loops under minor vamps. Practice it with melodic minor on the i, Locrian #2 on the vi, Locrian on the ii and the altered scale on the V.
