Diminished Chords
Once a minor chord has been established, a Diminished chord is just one step away. Simply take any Minor chord, and lower its fifth one half step. In the same vein of thought, a Diminished chord is only two steps away from a Major chord. Just take a Major Chord, and lower both the third and the fifth one half step, and you're there!
Let's make a D Diminished chord.
- Find the notes of the D minor chord (D, F, and A).
- Lower the fifth one half step, turning the A into a Ab.
- Therefore, the notes D, F, and Ab make up a D Diminished chord.
 D Min to D Dim |
~~ OR ~~
- Find the notes of the D Major chord (D, F#, and A).
- Lower the third one half step, turning the F# into F, and lower the fifth one half step, turning the A into a Ab.
- Using either process (beginning with a Major chord, or beginning with a Minor chord) results in the same notes, D, F, and Ab, and make up a D Diminished chord.
 D Maj to D Dim |
Let us follow the same procedure to make an Eb Diminished chord.
- Find the notes of the Eb minor chord (Eb, Gb, and Bb).
- Lower the fifth one half step, turning the Bb into a Bbb (yes, this is a double flat).
- Therefore, the notes Eb, Gb, and Bbb make up an Eb Diminished chord.
 Eb Min to Eb Dim |
~~ OR ~~
- Find the notes of the Eb Major chord (Eb, G, and Bb).
- Lower the third one half step, turning the G into Gb, and lower the fifth one half step, turning the Bb into a Bbb.
- Using either process (beginning with a Major chord, or beginning with a Minor chord) results in the same notes, Eb, Gb, and Bbb, and make up an Eb Diminished chord.
 Eb Maj to Eb Dim |
Let us now add the Diminished chord construct to our chart. Again, notice how closely related all the chords are, and how simply one can be formed, based on the notes from another.
And here is the chart, as applied to the C chord:

hollister ukWhat does it take to dress well? Having lots of money? Well, that helps but most
of all it takes organization, knowing yourself and your body and taking the time
to get it right. Being well dressed is not about wearing the latest fashions; it
about knows yourself and the styles that look best on you regardless of the
latest trends. Keeping up with the latest trends is not only time consuming and
costly but hard work.hollister uk///

I have found a lot of useful
I have found a lot of useful information from this platform. I must say that sharing your thoughts with one another is an easy way to relax yourself in the daily hectic routines. Each time a description of the change, there are always lots of talk about it anywhere. These are not exempt. I mean one must be up to date with the day to day change in the environment and in the technology as well. In my personal opinion, the world is turning into a global village and now you can get a lot of required information by just a click while sitting where ever you are.
