So this is our minor chord A we have 2,3,4,5. So we have B to E so our B chord is a B half diminished. If I went through the major scale and found my chords I would get these as a black chord right 1,3,5,7. But it is half diminished so what we do we take the 5 and we lower it a notch and we have this altered chord. B half diminished and our altered chord. Remember this was our E minor. What we are going to do is take the 5 crunch it right next to the 3 so we have this nice crunchy sound right here. That is your altered chord we have B half diminished to E altered and you hear how that is resolved to A. So now we have that under our fingers. So nice simple chords again your B half diminished and your E altered so we just move the 5 down a notch and then we move the 5 down to that little crunch on the altered scale. So we altered the scale on both notes and we have our minor 2,5 chords down our B half diminished and out B altered. "
