    I've realised that there's a few chords that I often mess around with, but that have never actually encountered in a song. So I'd like to get more used to the sound of the chords below, without just thinking "ah that's jazz sounding"! I want to know specifically what it is when I hear it.

    Any good good examples you know, where the chords below would be well emphasised? And please, no waffling about chord composition.

    Chords

    minor 6,
    7sus2,
    9 chord,
    7b13 - such as G7b13 (3x344x),
    7b5 - such as Bb7b5 (6x675x),
    maj7b5

    I've noticed the 7b5 chord sounds nice played a semi-tone up from the I chord, before resolving.

    Here's a nice one I noticed for a D7sus2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sC1ZolAePw

    Thank you
