How to play E♭m7 on piano

The E♭m7 chord is E♭ G♭ B♭ D♭: E♭ (root), G♭ (minor 3rd), B♭ (perfect 5th), D♭ (minor 7th).

Spread four fingers over the four notes, thumb on E♭ in the right hand and the little finger on E♭ in the left.

Each inversion moves the bottom note up an octave. Practicing them in a row teaches your hand the same chord in three or four shapes, so you can reach it from wherever your hand already is.
