Resolving to minmaj7
Looking for possible resolutions to a imaj7.
Theoretical or not - shoot!
Out-of-the-ordinary resolutions are needed (I already know the theory behind it, using possible modes and all ).
Looking forward to discussing some resolutions.
one resolution to that I found was from ♭vii7.

A minmaj7 chord can be the first degree (with the 7th) from the harmonic minor scale. So using progressions from that scale, you can have resolutions on minmaj7.
Here is a simple V-i:
Basically, since you are not looking only for theoretical answers, anything that sounds good to you works.
Also, if you are on any minor scale, on a V-i resolution, you can easily continue playing the leading tone (like I did on the example) and it would be a minmaj7 chord.

GNNNN! Even reading that snippet gives me an outright itch. That B really wants to resolve up to C.

@leftaroundabout haha, I agree, I kept thinking this as a delayed resolution to C

XD Yup that's true, but let's try to make it work :) Historically this non-functioning chord was used to resolve to the tonic so don't think of it in a classical way. Any weird and or abstract way to resolve into this is what this post is all about. Cheers :)

resolving to i min maj7 isn't a classical style resolution since you're keeping the leading tone present, but strong examples are from V7 with extensions like b9,#9, or its tritone sub bII(dom)7
New contributor
Agreed! it is a non-functioning chord, hence we won't find it being used much in classical. Although by digging around I did find the usage of minmaj7 in classical context too, however it was not used to resolve rather it was used as a tension builder to resolve to the tonic. Also I have used the resolutions that you mentioned, using V7 to Iminmaj7th (kinda secondary dominant) and it sounds nice with #9 and sometimes with 13th but the tritone one is weird and I think it can be used for line cliches

Here are some voicings that sound cool (IMO, obviously). The key centers are the words above, Roman Numerals below. A lot of them involve enharmonic respellings of the natural seventh degree.
Those seem to make much more sense to me than the previous suggestions, but could you show the actual voicings you had in mind, with ABC snippets?

@leftaroundabout Alright, but I'm no good with ABC snippets... Could I show you an image of sheet music notation of some voicings? It would look about the same in output...

@uset45266 I think you should give it a try, ABC is much more efficient for simple stuff like this. But, of course it's up to you. If you like, you can upload a screenshot and I convert it to ABC.

Here are some voicings that sound cool (IMO, obviously). The key centers are the words above, Roman Numerals below. A lot of them involve enharmonic respellings of the natural seventh degree.
