** GmM7 (G minor Major 7) is made of the notes
G-Bb-D-F#, so it's like a blending of the GM7
and Gm7 chords together. Easiest way to play it
is probably just something like 5x0454.
** DM9* is a cluster chord, meaning that a lot
of notes are played together in a big chord.
Sounds like he's playing a cluster on the D
lydian scale: D-E-F#-G#-A-B-C#.
