Yes, the diminished chord is back! In this session, we are going to expand the harmonic potential of these amazing chords by adding borrowed notes and visualizing other chord shapes that orbit around the diminished chord. If you are looking for fresh new sounds and a different way of thinking about chords on the guitar, this video is exciting. I hope you get a lot out of it. Happy playing! Mike

Thanks, Barry Harris in town. What about raising the notes from the dim chord, Barry sead than Minor Sixth chord and two non consecutive notes and you get a Dominant flat Five chord. This is from the book, Barry Harris Harmonic Method for Guitar by alanKingstone.

@@gerichtpresteren Hello Gabriël, Yes, the diminished chord is really a magical chord that has many harmonic relationships waiting for us to discover, you are correct about raising any note of the diminished chord will result in a minor sixth chord, and when you think of it the minor sixth chord can also be thought of as a minor seventh flat five e.g.., Dm6 = Bm7b5 so the more we delve into the fascinating world of the diminished chord it is revealed that there are many more applications and possibilities for the diminished chord. Warm regards, Mike

Great one. Forever questionned the naming of the chord as a Bdim from the third string note as opposed to any of the others?

@MikeHayesGuitar 3 ай бұрын

Hello Vince, thanks for your question when working with the Major Sixth Diminished scale the way we determine the diminished chord is to find it built from the third of the dominant of C. ie: C's dominant is G7, B is the third of G. Of course you could name the chord from any note under your fingers. Hope this helps. Cheers. Mike

Hi Mike ..how did you learn all this knowledge ))) wow this concept makes me want to disregard chord names …I’ve seen this twice and I get it .wondering now if I should throw away my chord books ,and manifest this principle on every thing ..I’m getting near this way of thinking ..we’re told as beginners to learn everything..but it seems as we advance we actually learn to throw most of the details away ..and keep the guide lines )) I think I know what I’m saying !! Thanks Mike 👍

Hello Johnny, It's always great to see concepts clicking for you! Learning to balance details and guidelines is key in any skill. When Joe Diorio asked Wes Montgomery what was he thinking about when he playing over a 2-5-1 progression ... Wes replied *"Sound, we play sound".* I feel that's what is important *finding and playing the sounds you are hearing* in your head. The concepts we are presenting are aimed at freeing up our thinking and opening the door to a wide range of musical possibilities. You are definitely on the right track, Cheers. Mike
