How to Play an A Dim to a D Altered Piano Chord

Now we're going to look at our minor two-five going into G minor. And that's our A half diminished and our D altered. So A half diminished comes out of B flat major right a step above it. So if we get our B flat major chord and slide it down a step, there we've got our A half diminished. And then we've got our D altered, if we do our shorthand, we've got one, flat three, and three and flat seven. We've got this, going to C minor, A seven. But again, we want to learn this scale, the D altered. So we've got half step, whole step, half step, whole, whole, whole. So you've got this scale. So we've got, now our minor two-five for G. And that's your minor two-five to G minor.
