The A m7b5 chord is a half-diminished (m7b5) chord, central to the minor ii–V–i. It is built from the notes A, C, Eb, G. This page shows how to play A m7b5 on Mandocello with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The C, G and A courses ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1. The root is the A course itself. It sounds from C2 up to A3.
Mandocello is strung in four courses of two, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on A or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
