You arrived at this page because you’re interested in learning how to apply diminished chords in cyclical chord progressions.<\/p>\n

Although diminished chords are not commonly used, they are commonly applied in gospel music harmony to create or add more tension or bluesy <\/em>feeling.<\/p>\n

Let’s take sometime to review diminished chords before we proceed to how they are applied in cyclical chord progressions.<\/p>\n

“What Are Diminished Chords?”<\/em><\/h2>\n

Diminished chords (especially triads and seventh chords) are chords that are usually found on the seventh tone of the major and minor key.<\/p>\n

Diminished Chords In The Major Key<\/h3>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…where B:
\n
\n…is the seventh tone, the chords of the seventh tone (starting from B) are classified as diminished chords.<\/p>\n

“Based On Chord Formation In Thirds…”<\/em><\/p>\n

B:
\n
\n…and D:
\n
\n…then B-D:
\n
\n…and F:
\n
\n…produces the B diminished triad:
\n
\nAdding an A (a third above B-D-F):
\n
\n…produces the B half-diminished seventh chord:
\n
\nSo, the diminished triad and the half-diminished seventh chords are the diminished chords in the major key.<\/p>\n

Diminished Chords In The Minor Key<\/h3>\n

In the key of A minor (and in this case, A harmonic minor<\/em>):
\n
\n…where G#:
\n
\n…is the seventh tone, the chords of the seventh tone (starting from G#) are classified as diminished chords.<\/p>\n

“Based On Chord Formation In Thirds…”<\/em><\/p>\n

G:
\n
\n…and B:
\n
\n…then G#-B:
\n
\n…and D:
\n
\n…produces the G# diminished triad:
\n
\nAdding an F (a third above G#-B-D):
\n
\n…produces the G# diminished seventh chord:
\n
\nSo, the diminished triad and the diminished seventh chords are the diminished chords in the minor key.<\/p>\n

“In A Nutshell…”<\/em><\/p>\n

There are three common diminished chords:<\/p>\n

The diminished triad (of the major and minor key)<\/em><\/p>\n

The half-diminished seventh chord (of the major key)<\/em><\/p>\n

The diminished seventh chord (of the minor key)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Application Of Diminished Chords In Cyclical Chord Progressions<\/h2>\n

Diminished chords can easily be applied in cyclical progressions. There are two steps to this application:<\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong> Get started by playing a dominant seventh, dominant ninth, or dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord. <\/em><\/p>\n

Step 2.<\/strong> Lower the right hand diminished chord (which may be the diminished triad, half-diminished seventh chord, or the diminished seventh chord) by half-steps while progressing in fourths\/fifths.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s do it step-by-step!<\/p>\n

Application Of The Diminished Triad In Cyclical Chord Progressions<\/h3>\n

Playing the diminished triad a major third or (major tenth) above a given root note, produces the dominant seventh chord.<\/p>\n

Attention<\/strong>: A major third or major tenth interval is a product of the distance between the first and third tone of the scale in the major key.<\/p>\n

A major third above C:
\n
\n…is E:
\n
\nA major tenth above C:
\n
\n…is E (as well):
\n
\nTherefore, the E diminished triad:
\n
\n…played over C (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the C dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n“Then Step 2…”<\/em><\/p>\n

We can go ahead and play cyclical progressions on the left hand, while the right hand diminished triad descends in half-steps.<\/p>\n

From the C dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the F dominant seventh chord:
\n
\nThe E diminished triad:
\n
\n…descended (by a half-step) to the Eb diminished triad:
\n
\nFrom the F dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…to the Bb dominant seventh chord:
\n
\nThe Eb diminished triad:
\n
\n…descended (by a half-step) to the D diminished triad:
\n
\n“Check Out A Cyclical Chord Progression Using Diminished Triads…”<\/em><\/p>\n

From the F dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…to the Bb dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the Eb dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…to the Ab dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the Db dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…to the Gb dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the B dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…to the E dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the A dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…to the D dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…to the G dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…and back to the C dominant seventh chord:
\n<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

Now that you’re familiar with how the diminished triad is applied, go ahead and upgrade the diminished triad to a diminished seventh chord or a half-diminished seventh chord for a more advanced progression.<\/p>\n

For example, in the C dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…the E diminished triad:
\n
\n…can be upgraded to an E diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…to form a C dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\nThe E diminished triad:
\n
\n…can be upgraded to an E half-diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…to form a C dominant ninth chord:
\n
\nThat’s all for now, see you in the next lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
