Been playing for almost 13 years without much theory knowledge. Now I'm trying to learn some theory behind the stuff I had already been playing. Your channel is easily the one that helps me the most with this "journey". Thanks for the awesome vids Sean!
Neat, it sounds like you and I are on a similar musical journey, as I'm using these lessons to consolidate my knowledge and understand why some odd chord fingerings make sense.
Man, you don't have an idea of how useful your videos are for me. Clear explanation and, in my opinion, wide and complete on each topic spoken. From all the guitar channels, you are by far my favourite. Thank you for all the work done here, you're amazing
Great job with this. I have never understood diminished chords and i've been playing a long time. This vid started to melt the block of ice in my head and it's now starting to come together. Thanks.
It should be pointed out that this is for people who already have a lot of theoretical knowledge. For me, this is answered so many questions for me about diminish chords.... questions I have had for years. Can’t thank you enough.
I have a degree in theory, and you just explained in about 4 minutes what it took me 3 months to learn way back in the day. I've recently picked up guitar again, so, thanks for this!
15 years of playing guitar, and this was still the most important lesson. especially with the style of art i go for. (good job adding the diminished A 5-6-7 chord, which i hear/use the most too.)
Man I have seen 10 different diminished chords videos trying to understand them better and I have to say yours is by far the best explanation I've come across. Please keep this stuff up so we can all learn more effectively
when i first stumbled upon your channel and saw your recent vids, i was so confused.. but now that i'm working my way through earlier vids you reccommended, i'm having a much better time understanding the newer lessons. thanks a bunch man, you're a huge help! :)
You're probably one of my favorite teachers on UA-cam, man. You're very good at articulating ideas and making them easy to understand. Plus you've got great personality. Cheers!
very nice. ive actually unlock a new technique in the fretboard using this method. its like seeing a new way to play guitar and add more flavor. much appreciated from a filipino guy who lives in slovenia.
Shit man. I wish i found your channel years ago. Tbh you have probably the most "layman" explanations of all youtube guitar teachers. Very easy to follow. Thank you so much
This was very helpful. I’ve been trying to learn guitar for almost a year. I’m pretty proficient playing piano (lol that was some unintended alliteration) and I’ve played a lot of jazz chords and I’m trying to learn the translation into guitar chord structures. Thanks man 🙏🏽
Finally realized what that transition is (Bm7b5) from the major (C) to the minor (Am)... Feels so good to find an answer to a question that's been with me for years
Sean, you're a diamond! This lesson has just opened up my pentatonic playing to a whole new dimension by adding the flat-five in a minor triad or just poking in a flat-five here and there. I also enjoy the chordal movement I just discovered from your Cmaj7 example by stumbling upon a Cmaj7-Dmaj7-Dmin7b5-Cmaj7 that sounds really nice!
Awesome stuff, so well explained I never really understood diminished chords before. Your videos have transformed my musical life! Keep up the good work :)
excellent teaching technique shawn. . you are one of the best of these youtube guitar teachers. .i hope you do a couple Jazz videos soon. . i hope you're teaching in your local public schools.
This lesson is fantastic. I am just starting to understand theory and a friend who I was jamming with commented how I gravitate towards m7b5 and diminished sounds. Now I understand.. and thanks to you I will be able to cycle through them at will :) new sub!
heh sean, i have watched alot of your videos and most of the time i usually walk away with something that i didnt have before but this particular video is by far the best one yet. dim chords have always been horiable for me. thanks man and a well deserved thumbs up
The Chord diagrams are a great addition. Interesting lesson on theory as well as application of theory. I am trying to learn as much as I can in theory. This was a great help. Thanks Sean.
Sean D... Ur amazing boss! U make things look soooo simple with ur theorization and application of ur theory. I have stayed away from dim chords simply because I couldn't understand the connection to other chord structures and u just demonstrated that bro! Thank u... 🙌... Just amazing
Great Lesson. I have been practicing your tip for learning the scales in the open position by cycling through the chords in the scale and it turns out I didn't know diminished chords. Thank you for this and for that.
Diminished 7th chords were one of the first chord shapes my first guitar teacher taught me 24 years ago (I don’t know why) - even now I always forget if the shape is a full diminished or half diminished, I feel like this vid has helped me remember it a little better 🥳
hiii. it's a very good lesson .all of ur video helps me a lot but just small problm couldn't able to figure how u strum.it will be really helpful u show ur strumming techniques too....ty.
great videos you helped me so much in all your other videos especially for the metronome since i have watched your videos my playing is progressing faster
Unstable. Nice to have a one-word description of the tone, the way I'm used to oversimplifying majors as "happy" and minors as "sad." At least it gives me a launching pad to experiment.
Yeah thanks joel. I think everybody kind has their own internal way of thinking how certain type of chords sound. That's especially why I love extended chords (7ths, 9ths etc) because they're so open to interpretation.
You Have really Helped i,m trying so hard to that diminished chord under my fingers even though i dont know where to use it you have really Helped THANKS
When we play a dim7 chord on the A string as teaching at 11:00, why don’t we bar the E-B-G strings with the index? That way, we would add an other note on the high E string. Am I correct? Thanks!
Some people initially think that the more notes you can squeeze into a voicing the better. It's up to you if you prefer that sound or not and there's no rules but often in the context of being in a band and especially in jazz playing the goal is to play as few notes as possible and still get the sound of the chord.
Many Many Thanks Sean ❤ Will be throwing in all those TENSIONS to Jazz it Up! Ha Ha! Cheers! Great Vids! Ur like Charles Mingus - U make d Complicated Awesomely Simple! That's Creativity! God Bless!
Thank you so muchSir... Will Make the lesson of Dominant,Diminished Triad,m7b5 ,Diminished 7 chords progression... I hope you sir Lesson will coming soon...
I've been watching your videos lately, was hoping if you can suggest in what order should I watch all your videos, trying to learn glimpse of jazz chords, thank you!
a quick question when we talk about chord progressions we always talk with respect to major scale it 1 4 5 is major chords in any key so what if we want to make a similar progression but in different scales ie minor scale or phyrigian for example
Great question. The numbers are always in the relation to the major scale if nothing is explained further. Now for the minor or phrygian scales you can convert them to the major scale to get your numbers. For example, the minor scale occurs on the 6th note (or 6th degree) of any major scale. So A minor contains the same notes as C major (C is 1, D 2, E 3, F 4, G 5, A 6). For phrygian, it occurs on the 3rd note. So the scale of E phrygian is the same as C major. Now you can still refer to keys as being in minor or phrygian or mixolydian of whatever, but you should clarify it by saying things like the 4th degree of the minor scale (instead of the 4), but I think it's a great habit to get into to convert everything back to major, at least number-wise because it makes things simpler. Hope that helped :)
I will probably need to watch this video a few more times to really understand it, but thanks for taking the time for explaining! It's Good to get away from standard chords to add more flavour to a progression. Any other chord structures you would recommend checking out?
This video was extremely helpful to me, thank you. It was the perfect pace for the level I'm at, and you are an excellent communicator. One quick question: I was reading that the chord built on the 7th note of a major scale should be played as a "dim". Does that mean any of these three that you talked about will work? EDIT: I just noticed that somebody else already asked this question and you answered it. (For anybody else wondering -- either the triad or the m7b5 will work).
How do you determine what diminished chord to insert between 2 chords? For example I want something between a C and an F, but I can't just put any chord, and my ear isn't that trained to figure what sounds good, what would you suggest for this? Or how do you determine?
I think it's all trial and error until your ear develops that training. If we're just staying in the key, the diminished chord would only be on the 7th degree (so Bdiminished in the key of C, or E diminished in the key of F - which would probably be the choice in the example you mentioned). But it's really about learning chord voicings and auditioning them on different root notes til you find what you like best! Good luck!
Great video, you do a great job breaking it down. Just one question, with the dim7 chords, where is the root? from what I can tell, there is no root. i understood in the 5th string voicing, it was the the top string flatted a half step but I still didn't really understand that.
Good question, I usually think of the root note in that chord as whatever note has the lowest pitch, but you could really perceive it as any of those 4 notes.
i thought that we got a b half dim chord in the key of c major .. 3 notes ..bdf...? is that right cuz u called the m7b5 chord a half dim..... bdfa...? confused :( can someone explain and clear my doubt :) thnx in advance...
For sure. So in C major, the B-D-F ends up being a diminished triad. Then if you add the A note it becomes half-diminished or m7b5 (same thing). I think the trouble is 'half-diminished' is kind of a strange name for it. So you still get a b half-dim in the key of C major, you just have the option of using the 3 note diminished triad, or the 4 note m7b5. Hope that makes sense!
Been playing for almost 13 years without much theory knowledge. Now I'm trying to learn some theory behind the stuff I had already been playing. Your channel is easily the one that helps me the most with this "journey". Thanks for the awesome vids Sean!
+Night1996Prowler So cool to hear man! Thanks for reaching out and I'll keep em coming!
Neat, it sounds like you and I are on a similar musical journey, as I'm using these lessons to consolidate my knowledge and understand why some odd chord fingerings make sense.
Exactly! Enjoy the journey man! I hope you find all the answers you are looking for! It feels good to be able to combine practice and knowledge
Man, you don't have an idea of how useful your videos are for me. Clear explanation and, in my opinion, wide and complete on each topic spoken. From all the guitar channels, you are by far my favourite. Thank you for all the work done here, you're amazing
Thanks so much for the kind words, I'm glad the vids are resonating with people. Definitely let me know if you ever have any questions.
The first channel I've ever felt 100% worthy of subscription... Best teacher on the net hands down. Thank you for your efforts!
Wow thanks so much!!! And thanks for watching!
Great job with this. I have never understood diminished chords and i've been playing a long time. This vid started to melt the block of ice in my head and it's now starting to come together. Thanks.
Man, you're the best teacher on the whole UA-cam. Just make theory and practice seem so more easy! Thanks a lot dude.
Thanks for reaching out! I appreciate it! Let me know if you ever have any questions man :)
This is a great video Sean! Good work!
From the legend himself! Thanks so much Jens and I love all your videos, keep up the great work man.
Thank you Sean! So I look legend age? :D
I can only say Likewise!
You are the best guitar instructor on UA-cam ever. Many thanks from Vietnam.
Thanks so much for reaching out Jerry! I'll keep em coming!
Sean idk why and it sounds crazy but you really helped me through my anxiety and depression. your videos are cure.
Dude that's the ultimate compliment! So glad they're helpful. Keep on rocking out and churning out that beautiful guitar music!
It should be pointed out that this is for people who already have a lot of theoretical knowledge. For me, this is answered so many questions for me about diminish chords.... questions I have had for years. Can’t thank you enough.
So great to hear it was helpful! I'll keep em coming!
Dude!!! Very good teaching skills displayed here. You simplified a rather complicated chord for us. Thank you!!
Thanks so much Anthony, happy to help!
You are a blessed pedagogue Sean. Awesome video that has blown my mind. So thankful.
Thanks for the fine compliment! Happy to help!
I love fully diminished chords so much, they're so diverse and have so much possible resolutions
There was nothing diminished about the quality of that lesson.
haha, you're doing wonders for my self-esteem
I have a degree in theory, and you just explained in about 4 minutes what it took me 3 months to learn way back in the day. I've recently picked up guitar again, so, thanks for this!
the dim7 kills the "stability" of that chord
15 years of playing guitar, and this was still the most important lesson. especially with the style of art i go for. (good job adding the diminished A 5-6-7 chord, which i hear/use the most too.)
Thanks so much!
awesome....I was needing a diminished chord for my progression and I knew I could count on you teaching me..... thank you
No prob Ian!
Need to watch this on loop, it's quite overwhelming at first.
Man I have seen 10 different diminished chords videos trying to understand them better and I have to say yours is by far the best explanation I've come across. Please keep this stuff up so we can all learn more effectively
More videos to come! Thanks for watching.
this info is timeless. thanks so much for explaining this.

Thanks Hatson, I've got a couple strumming videos but I plan on making more soon.
great videos you helped me so much in all your other videos especially for the metronome since i have watched your videos my playing is progressing faster
Unstable. Nice to have a one-word description of the tone, the way I'm used to oversimplifying majors as "happy" and minors as "sad." At least it gives me a launching pad to experiment.
Yeah thanks joel. I think everybody kind has their own internal way of thinking how certain type of chords sound. That's especially why I love extended chords (7ths, 9ths etc) because they're so open to interpretation.

absolutely fantastic lesson thanks
Happy to help!
When we play a dim7 chord on the A string as teaching at 11:00, why don’t we bar the E-B-G strings with the index? That way, we would add an other note on the high E string. Am I correct?
Thanks!
There are a bunch of different chord voicings you could potentially use. Just one example.
Sean Daniel, thanks for the feedback. I’ve discovered your tutorials this summer and I really like to learn from you.
Keep going!
Some people initially think that the more notes you can squeeze into a voicing the better. It's up to you if you prefer that sound or not and there's no rules but often in the context of being in a band and especially in jazz playing the goal is to play as few notes as possible and still get the sound of the chord.
Thanks for the precision. It makes sense.
fantastic lesson as usual
I can understand your lessons well than my music teacher in HS. Thanks for this Sean. btw, do you have merch like t-shirts or books etc?
a great example of that flattened 5 power chord type thing at the beginning is the intro to Bottle Up And Explode! by Elliott Smith
very good explanation of dim. chords.
Thanks for watching Johnny.

I will probably need to watch this video a few more times to really understand it, but thanks for taking the time for explaining! It's Good to get away from standard chords to add more flavour to a progression. Any other chord structures you would recommend checking out?
I'm definitely a big fan of learning a bunch of voicings for major 7, minor 7 and dominant 7 chords. Get those down and you're golden.
at 6:30 isnt that an amaj7?
This video was extremely helpful to me, thank you. It was the perfect pace for the level I'm at, and you are an excellent communicator.

Thanks! Happy to help!
basic question but do all diminished chords contain a flat third, never a major third? i.e based on a minor chord? tks!
Yup! You are correct! I always kind of think of it as like a broken down minor chord.
thanks Sean, you and Brian Kelly are the UA-cam guitar Gs
Everywhere I look on the internet a diminished chord is 1 - 3 b - 5 b
Can someone explain the difference from when he says 1 - 3 - 5b
great lesson sir
Thanks so much!
i use bm7b5 with e chord as a resolver.
Always a good one!
