Hello everyone at GMC, welcome to Diminished 7 Workout - Part 1.
This part is mainly theory lesson including Dim7 chords and some explanations. So the idea is to have a deeper look into Dim7 chords as we play them a lot I guess. Dim7 is usually at 7th degree of harmonic minor scale.
Construction goes like this:
Root - minor 3rd - flat 5th - flat 7th
You probably noticed that you get the same sounding Dim7 chord when you move the whole grip 3 frets above, and another 3 frets above etc.
It's probably the same Dim7 in 4 different inversions so the lowest note you play isn't the root all the time. In this lesson we will use the same sounding dim7 chord but in 4 different minor keys,
just to see the connection and different use of it.
