COTD: E♭7♭5

 The greatest dead fingerstyle player I know of is a guy named Joe Pass. There are a couple signature guitar models named for him, which is not usually done for fingerstyle players. Here's what I've come to call the "Joe Pass ii-V-I"

B♭-11
6X664X

E♭7♭5
5X564X

A♭Δ7
4X554X

Please vary the rhythm as much as you see fit. If you like this sound, buy the book which best documents Mr Pass's style, Mel Bay's Complete Joe Pass.
