In this lesson, we’ll dig into diminished 7th chords. How to build them, what’s the theory, chord degrees, enharmonic intervals and more. Then we’ll understand why there are only 3 dim 7th chords that you can play and how dim7 chords can be inversions of each other - being symmetrical chords. Lots of graphics and chord diagrams on screen, all the dim7 chord shapes you need on guitar are covered in this video. Lastly, we’ll look into the relationship between dim7 chords and dominant 7th b9 chords (secondary diminished 7th chord substitution).

La 7th d'une quinte diminuée est enfait la 6th. Dans la première inversion on joue fondamentale, quinte diminuée, la 7ème diminuée (la 6e donc) et la tierce mineure. Dans la deuxième,

[@timsmith190]

I was going to do a dim.7 KZbin lesson for guitar; no need now. I have nothing to add. BTW, how to you think about b3 dim.7 chords?

[@MrRed-bk9xn]

Excellent lesson. Will you do a lesson on proper use of these chords in a progression please. Thanks 🔥

[@TheBeardedGuitarist]

Thank you. Literally loads of videos on my channel with chord progressions including dim7 chords

[@TheBeardedGuitarist]

Intermediate or late beginners who know bar chords and basic 7th chords. Check out the link, you’ll get some preview lessons. Code BF57 to get 57%off the next 24 hours :)

The dim7 chord is the 7th chord in a major key correct? Why can you substitute a m7b5 chord (half diminished) for the dim 7 chord?

[@TheBeardedGuitarist]

No, the 7th chord in a major key is not dim7. It’s m7b5. And you can’t substitute the m7b5 with a dim7. The dim7 chord is the upper part of the V7b9 rootless.

@@TheBeardedGuitarist thanks I too had this incorrect thought of 7th degree of a major scale can be used as Dimnished7th chord. Thanks for correction. So half Dimnished is the actual thing full Dimnished is wrongly interchanged. But it’s true replaceablity is the dominant 7th flat9 chord only can a dominant 7th chord too can be replaced with Dimnished 7ths? 🙏

[@TheBeardedGuitarist]

Yes, a V7 b9 can be replaced with 4 dim7 chords built on the 3, 5, b7, b9 of the V7 b9
