Aloha* SWif tLessons, You are one of the best teachers I've come across! You understand the view of the student's perspective with the knowledge of a teacher, which is a gift. Soon as I watched this for 2 minutes, I already knew you were going to provide a "Practical" and "Comprehensive" lesson to the end. Therefore, I clicked the subscribe and like, and will follow you on your channel and website. I liked that you broke-up your lesson into three segments: 1st, overview [what's] going to be presented; 2nd, demonstrate and explain [how] to start, [where] to use; and [why] it is used with the "Application" as in 2 actual songs we can practice with....btw, I've always wanted to learn Black Orpheus, but never knew the progression. This is why your approach is very useful to many. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Blessings to you.
The best explanation on youtube! Crystal clear how to go from major triad, to diminished triad, to half diminished chord, and to full diminished chord. Though it still not clear for me rational of flatenning b7 second time (for full diminished). We do this for what? To spice up the chord with additional note? What about applying this to other chords? If we have C7 chord (C chord with b7) - by flatening b7 - we will have C6 chord. Or in other words, standard C chord with added 6 degree. Is this the same logic for full diminished or it is different? What if we continue to flatten flatted b7 in fully diminished? Would it be triple flatted 7, or b6? Would it be still diminished chord?
Learning scales is like trying to measure a coastline. Much better to understand the keys and the chords, of which scales derive. 1-3-5-7(dom,maj)-9(2nd)-11(4th)-13(6th),augmented and diminished.
Hi, in a diatonic relationship of chords with a major scale we play the 1st 4th and 5th major and 2nd 3rd and 6th minor and 7th diminished so I just wanted to ask you if it's a full diminished or half diminished chord that we need to play?
Thanks for explaining. I’m not a technical person so just follow the chord diagrams. I love diminished chords as they add such class to songs. I probably play the half ones as they are easy on my fingers 😀
The dim7 chord can resolve to a lot of other chords, though I didn't think of it in this case - Ebdim7 to A7 - the dim7 on the b5 (Eb) of the 1 chord, A7. Nice!
I must say thank's again! something clicked in my brain. But a quick question - I am learning gypsy jazz style guitar and there are a LOT of halfdim chords used in between chords, but although I have some musical ear, it is DAMN difficult to know where to LAND when putting in a series of halfdim chords, and difficult to know where to START a halfdim "run" of fill chords. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated! (sorry if I don't make sense, can try to explain better if you don't understand) Like what is the root, where is it, and what root can be used with which halfdims?
8:17 Diminished Major 7 = m7b5 = dim∆7 = Diminished Tetrad (Diatonic) 8:18 Diminished Dominant 7 = dim7 = dimV7 = Diminished Tetrad dim7 = dimV7 m7b5 = dim∆7 Half-Diminished is a Chord That is Stacked with Intervals of Neutral Seconds (3 Quarter-Notes) Half-Diminished is a Diminished Chord that is Stacked with Quarter-Note Intervals, Not m7b5 m7b5 is Stacked with Minor Thirds, Therefore it is a Diminished Chord, A Diminished Tetrad (Diatonic)
Very helpful lesson on diminished chords and a start at how to use them.
You're a great teacher thank you
Really loved and appreciate your lesson.thanks a lot for such a great guiter tutorial.
Very well explained. Also gave fun practice chords. Nicely done

❤❤❤❤❤ Very nice lesson
This explanation was so simple to follow.
Thank you for such a thorough explanation
Love,
Guitarist in India
Diminished Triad = 1 b3 b5
Diminished Sixth = 1 b3 b5 bb6
Diminished Dominant 7 = 1 b3 b5 bb7
Diminished Major 7 = 1 b3 b5 b7
Diminished Augmented 7 = 1 b3 b5 7
Half-Diminished = 1 d2 b3 d4 b5 bd6 bb7 bd8
Half-Diminished Triad = 1 d2 b3
Half-Diminished Tetrad = 1 d2 b3 d4
d = Half-Flat
Crystal clear. Thank you!
Brillent guitar lessons on swiftlesson
Great lesson! Thank you very much! :)
Very very very helpful thankyou so much sir
Most excellent. Thanks.
Yours is a beautiful sounding instrument

Great lesson ❤️
Swift thank you. So is that full diminished shape,that you did for the C, just moveable down the fret board?
Thank for your sharing of your talent l.
Thanks a lot sir.
big help bro.. thanks
Okay !
Thank u for this! Cheers
Can you please do a lesson on forever and ever amen please and thank you.

God lesson thx
Superbbb in deed

Thanks and how is a cm diminished chord

(sorry if I don't make sense, can try to explain better if you don't understand) Like what is the root, where is it, and what root can be used with which halfdims?
Nearly everyone is saying simple but i am finding it difficult
Man it just takes time, it was hard when I started but I just clicks eventually
Diminished triad can chord to a min7b5 chord or to a dim.seventh chord depending on usage :]
Thanks for the video
What scale is that to find the 5th note ? Thanks
Thank you! I learned a lot from this.
Glad it was helpful!
merci infiniment
awesome!
I'm waiting
8:17 Diminished Major 7 = m7b5 = dim∆7 = Diminished Tetrad (Diatonic)
8:18 Diminished Dominant 7 = dim7 = dimV7 = Diminished Tetrad
dim7 = dimV7
m7b5 = dim∆7
Half-Diminished is a Chord That is Stacked with Intervals of Neutral Seconds (3 Quarter-Notes)
Half-Diminished is a Diminished Chord that is Stacked with Quarter-Note Intervals, Not m7b5
m7b5 is Stacked with Minor Thirds, Therefore it is a Diminished Chord, A Diminished Tetrad (Diatonic)
Yeah I’m way over my head, this isn’t beginner
So is it a “b minor” with a 7th and a flat 5. Or is it a “b” with a minor seventh and a flat five?
Good day sir. How can i enrol in your class?
👍👍
Ka pow!!!
受益良多 thanks
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can i call "C6" a "Am/C"?
Day #2 : Asking you to listen to Romane-Passion and teach the lead part.
Its just not possible considering the number of finger's i have 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What plectrum is it, gauge?
You sound like PC principal. Great video though
I thought he sounded familiar! Lol
Hey everybody listen up
Nice - I just lose the Bass note and play a triad - much faster and easier to play for half dim
This guy's wrist bones is passing through a lot
Wheres that extra finger when you need it? Lol
My brain hurts
ive got a head ache lol
First
Usages lol
👍👍👍👍
Great lesson, thank you very much
