How to Play Diminished Piano Chords

Video Transcript

MIKE LAIS: Hi. I'm Mike Lais, and on behalf of Expert Village, this is diminished chord voicings. So, the diminished chord voicings. In this segment, we're going to talk about the diminished triad, the diminished 7th, the difference between a diminished 7th and a minor 7 flat 5. There is a little bit of a difference. I'll also be showing you the functions [SOUNDS LIKE] around with these chords because they're kind of, they're used little bit differently than the way you will like a major 7 or a dominant 7. A diminished 7th is one that uses a flat 3 and a flat 5 and a double flat 7. But we'll get into all that in a little bit, but for now we're just going to want to make sure that we focus on the triad and I'll show the different voicings that we have, the different inversions that we have for that. Again, an inversion is where you flip a chord upside down and instead on the root, you're going to start on the 3rd or the 5th or the 7th, just the different note that's not the root. But when we get started and we start talking about some diminished chords. Let's start with the diminished triads.
