  • He's referencing "Along Came Jones" by the Coasters, which starts with a diminished run just like the video show,

  • I just learned that there are only three dim chords C C# and D. The rest are just inversions.

  • Thanks for explaining WHEN to use the dim chord since most Youtube instructors do not do that.

  • Very helpful lesson , many thanks. Loved the "Ladies tied to the Railway Track".

  • So in a way, there's only three diminished sevenths that exist.

  • ..

    

  • hold it some what sounds like f u ish more like f eck

  • @rockdoesntdie That's a half-diminished, or minor seventh-flatted fifth formula: root- minor third-flat five-flat seven.

  • owhyeah! I have some chords to a song and one of them reads A° but with a slash through the ° so that is a dim7 then? and do dim chords always have the 7?

    Yeah I'm new :p

  • In respect to harmonizing....where can I fit these chords? In place of regular dominant 7ths? can anyone helllllp meee?
