Learn About the Minor 7th Flat 5, 2nd Inversion Piano Chords

MIKE LAIS: Hi. I'm Mike Lais and on behalf Expert Village, this is diminished chord voicings. Alright, the minor 7th flat 5, the 2nd inversion, this is where we're going to start out on the 5th of the chord versus the 1st or the 3rd. So now we're going to have root position, we have the 1st inversion, and now we'll have the 2nd inversion where we start on the 5th. All the notes are the same. You just spell it up from the 5th. Let's take a look at it. So, once again, we have our root position minor 7th flat 5 chord. We're going to do the C, for example's sake. We got 1, flat 3, flat 5, flat 7, okay? So, now, we're going to want to be on the 5 for the bass note in order for this to be a 2nd inversion chord. So, we're going to go flat 5, flat 7, 1, flat 3, okay? If you notice, all these positions are pretty closed positions which I find to be nice and they're all spread out very nicely. It's all kind of--it just got that--nothing's really standing out one way or the other. It's just all pretty much in the comfort of your hand, so it makes it nice to play it.
