Learn About the Diminished 7th, 2nd Position Piano Chord

MIKE LAIS: Hi. I'm Mike Lais and on behalf of Expert Village, this is diminished chord voicings. Alright, we got the root position and the 1st inversion position. So, now, the 2nd inversion, this is just like all other inversions, we're going to start off on the 5th of the chord and spell the remaining of the chord. So, let's take a look for the 2nd inversion of the diminished chord. Once again, we're planning a C diminished just for the example's sake. It looks like that in root position. But if we're going to play in 2nd inversion, we want to start off with the 5th on the bottom. So, we're going to go flat 5, double flat 7, 1, flat 3, all right? Just like that 'cause you have nice closed position for this and you can get to it pretty easily if you're coming out of other chords. Like, let say if you're coming off a G minor, you can just slide right down. And then, you have your C diminished, right there. So, again, 2nd inversion, the diminished chord, it's going to be flat 5, double flatted 7, 1, flat 3.
