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

Video Transcript

Now we have A sharp half diminished and that's derived out of B major, right. A half step above it. So here's our A sharp right here. So B major, there's one, three, five and seven. And you slide it down a half step and you get this, A sharp altered. And then here's our D sharp, so here's flat three and three and flat seven, that's our quick way of finding the E flat altered. Again we want to get this pattern down, half, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, whole. So now we get this, A flat minor, D flat seven. That's the last of our two-fives. Our minor two-five going into G sharp minor. And again you want to get all these under your fingers and then you can do your three-six, two-fives in every key as well. And it's great practice and a great way to get your improvising down pat and start reading through some real books. And to really get all these chords embedded and under your hands and moving like a charm.
