In this video, I'm going to show you how to use a single diminished chord and resolve it to almost anywhere!
It works very well to modulate to distant keys in a smooth ways or to put musical emphasis on certain chords.
Most people don't know how to use diminished chords well, because diminished chords have a tense sound. They don't know where that chord should resolve or how to insert it in a progression.
The reality is that a diminished chord can resolve to SO many places and there's an easy trick to remember all the places where that chord can lead you. That's what I'm teaching in this lesson.
Let's dive in!

Pure genius. It can be confusing though especially since I dont read music or know any theory. I've played by ear for nearly 40 years. I see the value of reading music and theory now. Wish I would've learned at the age of 14. now I'm 53. Excellent lesson brother.

@jimmdougall It’s never too late, as long as you work at it; l’m not going into theory; l’m a working muso, & l teach. Because l can read & know my theory, since l started at 5!! Jazz , Classical ( Beethoven rocks! 👊🏾😃) l met a guy in his 60s while l was gigging, & he wanted desperately now that he was ‘free’. At 80, l found out he took up the tub ( acoustic bass); & ended up playing in a band at 80!! Last l heard ( 12 months ago say, he was still playing!). )You go for it! You CAN do it my friend! 🎸👊🏾✨😈

@@belindadrake5487 My father was a concert pianist, and as the first child I was expected to follow in his footsteps. I had piano lessons from the age of 4 till I was 10 years old. I gave it up. Just wasn’t for me. But took up the guitar at age 14, and within three months seasoned guitarists were asking me “how do you do that?” I have played in bands/rock outfits for most of my life. Somewhere along the way, I forgot the basics. Videos like this have helped turn back the clock and start afresh. But to be honest, I no longer have the aspirations I had as a younger me. It’s just for my own pleasure now.

Awesome lesson. I've always used my ear to figure out a modulation using a diminished chord, and sometimes it takes a while before I get something I like. This is going to significantly reduce the time it takes to figure it out. With a little practice, I've started doing it on the fly. Thank you so much for this.

@derekhuntingtonmarti 7 ай бұрын

I knew this trick but wasn't using it much, so it was cool to see you present in a simple way sticking to basic chord shapes that gets people using it and playing around with it rather than stumbling over more complicated theory. Thanks. That's the best approach b/c you've got to play this stuff and get it in your ear as well as something you can think about quickly, then you can refine it with more voicings and better voice-leading and also expand on its uses.

That's right, and if that chord is not in the key, we call those ''secondary dominants''. I could make a lesson about that too. Merci Richard!
