Can someone help me with this chord voicing?

Question:Cm7(b5)/G

If it was just Cm7/G I know it would be voiced like this (high to low down the page):

Eb
C
Bb
G

Do I add a flat 5 (Gb) to the top, to the bottom or do I assume a flatted root G of the second inversion??

Yes, add the Gb to the top. The G bass is a natural G.

And Leftie, I didn't give you the thumbs down, but you're just wrong. Look at your answer. The voicing you gave does NOT include a Gb.

In addition, a m7b5 is NOT THE SAME a min 6th chord with the min6 on the 6th string. A flatted fifth and a minor 6th are two different notes.

"The melodic flatted fifth (flat 5) is formed by playing two notes that are six steps apart on the piano. This interval is very dissonant sounding. In the middle ages, music theorists called this interval the "devil in music".

"The melodic minor sixth (m6) is formed by playing notes that are eight steps apart on the piano. This interval is quite dissonant and is very active sounding. This is a very wide interval and is used infrequently in melodies."

Always remember that a m7b5 is the same as a min 6th chord but with the min6 on the 6th string.
Ex....
Cm6 = C - G - Eb - A (from 6th to 1st string)

Now, by playing A - C - G- Eb, this becomes an Am7b5

So a Cm7b5 would be played at the 7th position in this manner...

C - Bb - Eb - G (from lowest to highest string)

P.S. Whoever gave me thumbs down obviously, knows nothing in musical theory.
