What are Diminished Chords?

Don’t let the name fool you, “diminished” here refers to this chord’s musical properties and how it works, not its objective quality as a chord by any means! Diminished chords are simply a type of chord used in songwriting that consists of a coupling of a minor 3rd note with a diminished 5th note. Minor 3rds are notes with 3 half steps above their root, and a diminished 5th, which helps derive the name of diminished chords, is a note with 6 half steps above the root.

Diminished chords work as wonderful bridge-builders between other types of chords, but they have their own standalone uses as well. They can really help spice up certain songs that only use a handful of chords as well. This is due to their distinctive sound, which when isolated can come off as discordant or even harsh.

However, when carefully inserted into the right auditory context or chord progression, in other words, these chords can be quite effective at furthering your song’s evolution to its final draft.

What’s more, diminished chords are a great chord to experiment with when you want to expand your song structure repertoire and general composing skills!

I am going to use 3 jazz standard, explain what scale to use and give you an example of a line. The lesson will talk about not only what to play but also how to craft a line on diminished chords because you need to know more than just what to play. The bIII diminsihed chord is often causing panic in jazz solos. I have made some other videos on how to figure out the scales and arpeggios for this chord, and I thought that maybe it would be useful to just take some real examples from real songs. A big part of my philosophy is to learn things from songs and this is a great example. Hope you like it!

We had to use a diminished chord and use the word "parallel" in this song. I think there was one more criterion, but I am blanking on it. This was the least hateful of a number of recordings where I waver all over the place trying to find the damned melody.

The diminished chord in the bridge is certainly not telegraphed. It is gratuitous coloration.
