For The Diminished Triad<\/h2>\n<h3>The Diminished Major-Seventh Chord<\/h3>\n<p>One of the seventh chord types for the diminished triad is the diminished major seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>A classic example of the diminished major seventh chord is the D diminished major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,Cs,&amp;color=CCFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which consists of the D diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img

src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Cs,&amp;color=CCFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is a seventh chord tone that is a <strong>major

border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIf diminished triads are part of your active chordal vocabulary and you&#8217;ll love to play its seventh chord type, feel free to make the diminished major seventh chord an option.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Quick Formation Of The Diminished Major Seventh Chord&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The seventh tone that can be added to the diminished triad to form the diminished major seventh chord is a <strong>major seventh<\/strong> above the root of the diminished triad.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the D diminished major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

chord.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the formation of the diminished major seventh chord, the seventh tone of the major scale in the key you&#8217;re in, is added to the diminished triad.<\/p>\n<p>Given the G diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,Bb,Db,&amp;color=CCFF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the G diminished major seventh chord can be formed by adding the seventh tone of the major scale in the key of G major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

seventh chord, the &#8220;flat seventh&#8221; tone of the major scale in the key you&#8217;re in, is added to the diminished triad.<\/p>\n<p>Given the G diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img
