I won&#8217;t lie though&#8230; I flinched a few times. hehe<\/p>\n<p>But this is what I really want to talk about&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Diminished chords are not only great in horror scenes. You&#8217;ll find them all throughout contemporary gospel music, jazz, blues, and other styles.<\/p>\n<p>In gospel and Christian music, they were actually banned several centuries ago because of their &#8220;devilish,&#8221; diminished sound. Nowadays, they are commonplace as the right amount of dissonance in the right places has been widely accepted and almost associated with being an &#8220;outside-the-box&#8221; player.<\/p>\n<p>So I just thought I&#8217;d include something for everyone in this post.<\/p>\n<p>For my beginners, I&#8217;ll show you how to form diminished chords. And for my more experienced players, I&#8217;ll show you another way  to use diminished chords.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, this is how you form a diminished chord using numbers.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll use the C major scale.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C D E F G A B C<\/p>\n<p>C = 1<br \/>\nD = 2<br \/>\nE = 3<br \/>\nF = 4<br \/>\nG = 5<br \/>\nA = 6<br \/>\nB = 7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can look at this many ways.<\/p>\n<p>You can just take tones 1, 3, and 5 and flat the 3 and 5.<\/p>\n<p>So that would be C, E, and G but you&#8217;d flat the E, making it Eb and the G, making it Gb.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C diminished = C Eb Gb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can also start with a <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">minor chord<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> and just flat the 5th tone.<\/p>\n<p>C minor = C Eb G<\/p>\n<p>Flat the fifth tone to Gb<\/p>\n<p>C diminished = C Eb Gb<\/p>\n<p>You can also think in terms of intervals.<\/p>\n<p>Basic <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">triad chords<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> are made up of third intervals.<\/p>\n<p>There are two basic ones.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Major third<\/p>\n<p>and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Minor third<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Major thirds = 4 half steps<br \/>\nMinor thirds = 3 half steps<\/p>\n<p>(half steps are from key to key, with absolutely NO keys in between).<\/p>\n<p>So C to E is a major third because it has 4 half steps (C to C#, C# to D, D to D#, D# to E).<\/p>\n<p>C to Eb, though, is a minor third because it only has 3 half steps.<\/p>\n<p>So if you compare diminished chords to major and minor chords, you&#8217;d notice this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Major chords are basically a major third + minor third.<\/p>\n<p>Minor chords are basically a minor third + major third.<\/p>\n<p>Diminished chords are a minor third + minor third (thus the SUPER scary sound).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So there&#8217;s a crash course for my beginners.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you want to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diminished seventh chord<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>, it gets a little more trickier.<\/p>\n<p>You take the 1, 3, 5, and 7 of any major scale and you flat the 3 and 5 like normal (just like we did above for our basic diminished triad). But for the 7, you have to DOUBLE FLAT it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So if the C major scale is:<\/p>\n<p>C = 1<br \/>\nD = 2<br \/>\nE = 3<br \/>\nF = 4<br \/>\nG = 5<br \/>\nA = 6<br \/>\nB = 7\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You&#8217;d take C, E (flat it to Eb), and G (flat it to Gb). There&#8217;s your basic triad.<\/p>\n<p>Then you take the B and flat it to Bb, and then flat it again to Bbb.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Saying Bbb (pronounced &#8220;B double flat&#8221;) is the same as playing &#8220;A.&#8221; They are enharmonic (another topic in and of itself).<\/p>\n<p>Most people informally would spell out the C diminished chord as C Eb Gb A. This would be wrong on a music theory test but will slide anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>To be correct, you say:<\/p>\n<p>C Eb Gb Bbb<\/p>\n<p>So basically when you talk about any major, minor, dominant, or diminished seventh chord in the key of C, you will always see C E G and B. No way around it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C major 7 = C E G B<\/p>\n<p>C minor 7 = C Eb G Bb<\/p>\n<p>C dominant 7 = C E G Bb<\/p>\n<p>C diminished 7 = C Eb Gb A (WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG)!<\/p>\n<p>C diminished 7 = C Eb Gb Bbb (the right way)!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Now that I got that outta the way, here&#8217;s how to use the diminished chord (outside of just using it by itself).<\/p>\n<p><strong>6-2-5-1 chord progression<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can use a diminished seventh chord when you&#8217;re on the 6th tone of a scale and want to go to the 2nd tone of the scale.<\/p>\n<p>A normal 6-2-5-1 <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chord progression<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> in the key of C major might look like this.<\/p>\n<p>A + C + E + G  \/  A bass<\/p>\n<p>D + F + A + C \/ D bass<\/p>\n<p>D + F+ A + C \/ G bass<\/p>\n<p>C + E + G + B \/ C bass<\/p>\n<p>What if you took the A minor chord and kept your bass the same but used some type of diminished chord on your right hand?<\/p>\n<p>Try this:<\/p>\n<p>A# + C# + E + G  \/ A bass<\/p>\n<p>And that will lead you perfectly to your D minor chord.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nA# + C# + E + G  \/ A bass<\/p>\n<p>D + F + A + C \/ D bass<\/p>\n<p>D + F+ A + C \/ G bass<\/p>\n<p>C + E + G + B \/ C bass<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you want a better D minor chord and want to keep that &#8220;G&#8221; on top, try playing:<\/p>\n<p>F + A + C + E + G \/ D bass<\/p>\n<p>(which is a &#8220;D minor 11&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>So as you can see, diminished chords aren&#8217;t always scary. If you play them with their root bass, perhaps&#8230; but if you change their bass notes around and start experimenting with them, you can find a host of things to do!<\/p>\n<p>Until next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/scarymansmall.jpg\" class=\"videopic\" alt=\"scary diminished chords\" \/>Diminished chords are not only great in horror scenes.
