Diminished chords are used to add more colour or texture to chord progressions in a song. The sound of diminished chords helps to build different flavours in a song &#8211; tension, drama, suspense depending how the artist uses them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-construction-of-a-diminished-chord\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Construction_of_a_Diminished_Chord\"><\/span><strong>Construction of a Diminished Chord <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A diminished chord is constructed from a major chord. So basically a diminished chord is a triad i.e. 3 notes played together &#8211; 1st (Root Note), 3rd (Flattened) and 5th (Flattened) note. So let us construct C Diminished ( C Dim) chord using the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/beginner-guitar-chords\/#:~:text=The%20C%20major%20chord%20is%20one%20of%20the%20most%20widely%20used%20basic%20level%20beginner%20guitar%20chords%20across%20all%20genres%20and%20languages.%20It%20is%20an%20easy%20guitar%20chord%20to%20start%20your%20guitar%20journey.\">C major Chord<\/a><\/strong> ( C E G notes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1st Note :<\/strong> C (Root Note)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>3rd Note : <\/strong>Eb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>5th Note :<\/strong> Gb<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So C Diminished chord notes are C, Eb and Gb. Similarly we can construct the rest of the diminished chords. They are given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C dim : <\/strong>C \u2013 Eb \u2013 Gb<br><strong>C# dim :<\/strong> C# \u2013 E \u2013 G<br><strong>Db dim : <\/strong>Db \u2013 E \u2013 G<br><strong>D dim :<\/strong> D \u2013 F \u2013 Ab<br><strong>Eb dim : <\/strong>Eb \u2013 Gb \u2013 A<br><strong>E dim :<\/strong> E \u2013 G \u2013 Bb<br><strong>F dim :<\/strong> F \u2013 Ab \u2013 B<br><strong>F# dim :<\/strong> F# \u2013 A \u2013 C<br><strong>Gb dim <\/strong>: Gb \u2013 A \u2013 C<br><strong>G dim :<\/strong> G \u2013 Bb \u2013 Db<br><strong>Ab dim :<\/strong> Ab \u2013 B \u2013 D<br><strong>A dim :<\/strong> A \u2013 C \u2013 Eb<br><strong>Bb dim :<\/strong> Bb \u2013 Db \u2013 E<br><strong>B dim : <\/strong>B \u2013 D \u2013 F<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Construction_of_a_Diminished_Seventh_Chord\"><\/span><strong>Construction of a Diminished Seventh Chord<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A diminished seventh chord is a four note chord. It adds a minor third on top of Diminished chord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1st Note &#8211;<\/strong> Root Note<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2nd Note &#8211;<\/strong> 3rd Note flattened &#8211; Eb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>3rd Note &#8211;<\/strong> 5th Note flattened &#8211; Gb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4th Note &#8211;<\/strong> Minor Third &#8211; A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So using the above formula let us a construct C Diminished Seventh (C Dim7 chord)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1st (Root Note) &#8211;<\/strong> C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2nd Note &#8211;<\/strong> Eb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>3rd Note &#8211;<\/strong> Gb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4th Note &#8211;<\/strong> A (also written as Bbb)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the C Dim7 chord consists of C, Eb, Gb, A. Similarly we can construct the rest of dim7 chords. Given below is ready reckoner of same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C dim7 :<\/strong> C \u2013 Eb \u2013 Gb &#8211; A<br><strong>C# dim7 :<\/strong> C# \u2013 E \u2013 G &#8211; Bb<br><strong>Db dim7 :<\/strong> Db \u2013 Fb &#8211; G &#8211; Bb (or) Db &#8211; Fb &#8211; Abb &#8211; Cbb<br><strong>D dim7 : <\/strong>D \u2013 F \u2013 Ab &#8211; Cb<br><strong>Eb dim7 :<\/strong> Eb &#8211; Gb &#8211; Bbb &#8211; Dbb<br><strong>E dim7 :<\/strong> E \u2013 G \u2013 Bb &#8211; Db<br><strong>F dim7 :<\/strong> F \u2013 Ab \u2013 B &#8211; Ebb<br><strong>F# dim7 :<\/strong> F# \u2013 A \u2013 C &#8211; Eb<br><strong>Gb dim7 :<\/strong> Gb \u2013 A \u2013 C &#8211; Eb<br><strong>G dim7 : <\/strong>G \u2013 Bb \u2013 Db &#8211; Fb<br><strong>Ab dim7 : <\/strong>Ab \u2013 B \u2013 D &#8211; Gbb<br><strong>A dim7 :<\/strong> A \u2013 C \u2013 Eb &#8211; Gb<br><strong>Bb dim7 : <\/strong>Bb \u2013 Db \u2013 E &#8211; A<br><strong>B dim7 :<\/strong> B \u2013 D \u2013 F &#8211; Ab<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Construction_of_a_Half_Diminished_Seventh_Chord\"><\/span><strong>Construction of a Half Diminished Seventh Chord<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Diminished 7th chords, half diminished 7th chord are also 4 note chords. The 4 notes are;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Root Note<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minor 3rd<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diminished 5th<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minor 7th<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Diminished_Chords\"><\/span><strong>Using Diminished Chords<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally diminished chords are not used at the beginning or towards end, but they are using as passing chords in a chord progression. This effect of using diminished chords as passing chords gives a special texture (or colour or feel) to the song. These chords spice up the whole progression and mere usage of major or minor gives the same sound. More over the passing chord may not be on the same key of the song. This creates a dissonant sound that has to resolved to the chord harmonically related to the key of the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image carnatic-desktop\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=919789897600&amp;text=&amp;source=&amp;data=\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"225\" data-id=\"21144\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/free-trial-music-class-demo-banner-music-master-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/free-trial-music-class-demo-banner-music-master-1.webp 745w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/free-trial-music-class-demo-banner-music-master-1-300x91.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image carnatic-mobile\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=919789897600&amp;text=&amp;source=&amp;data=\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"380\" data-id=\"21145\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/music-free-trial-class-banner-for-mobile-music-master-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/music-free-trial-class-banner-for-mobile-music-master-1.webp 275w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/music-free-trial-class-banner-for-mobile-music-master-1-217x300.webp 217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are diminished Chords?
