Whether you are playing jazz chord melody on ukulele or accompanying a band the diminished chord has a host of uses across the fingerboard. The best part is that the chord itself utilizes only one chord shape.
In this lesson we look at how you can use the diminished chord to resolve to any other chord, why it works and then put it to use over the song 'Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea'. If you want to take it up to the next level stick around until the end to learn Barry Harris' 6th Diminished scale and how we can use it to make harmony move smoothly over the fingerboard.

Ouch my brain is slowly melting and leaking out of my ears. Finally think I get the introduction. Moving any note of the dimidhed 7 up one fret gives the root note of a major chord that you can resolve to? Hopefully one bit sorted. I think I'll be back .

I have that one on my list to do soon :) I've watched the video of him playing it a million times and it's simply so charming

So dropping a note in the diminished 7th a semitone gives a 7th chord . Dropping a half fret from a major 7th gives the dominant 7th. So doesn't this mean the diminished 7th is like a major 7th? Or is it all to do with the changing of the root note. I think I need a dark room . Must go write all the notes out and see what gives. B lots to ponder here. Any help much appreciated.

You’re on the right track! The diminished is not really in the same family as the diminished but you are right that the dominant is sort of the happy beige between the two. It had much more to do with the root note which you can think of as whichever you moved down to find the diminished. Then you would need to identify the seventh and raise it a semitone for the major seventh. Dominant and major seventh both share the major triad but differ in the relation to the seventh
