MIKE LAIS: Hi. I'm Mike Lais and on behalf Expert Village, this is diminished chord voicings. Okay, so we got the minor 7th flat 5 chord down now. You should have it pretty comfortable. Now, here's a progression to use it. Most people or I guess--I shouldn't say most people. I should say it's most commonly found in like a blues style or like a gospel style, where you can use it on a sharp 4 chord where it's a sharp 4 minor 7th flat 5. Let's give you the example. Here, we're going to be in the key of C and we're going to be doing this here, right. So, let's go to the 4 which is going to be F, I'm going to play an F major 7, right? And then, we're going to go to the sharp 4 minor 7th flat 5 which sounds like a lot but all you do is bring the base note up a half step and you have that spelled out. See, it's minor 7th and it's a flat 5. If it were just a minor 7th chord, it sounds like this, right? But, since it's a minor 7th flat 5, it's just simply taking that. All you do is take the bass note, move it up. So, we can go IV, sharp 4 minor 7th flat 5 to a I chord over the 5th to the 6th to the IV-V-I. So, again, it's going to go 4, 7--IV major 7, sharp 4 minor 7th flat 5, I over it's 5th to the vi minor to the IV, to the V and to the I. Playing it with some time, it's going to go. There you have it.
