Diminished Triads, Part 1
Diminished triads are, as their name implies, the smallest triad you can have: a minor third with another minor third on top of it. It’s a little bit like a minor triad, but with a darker more mysterious sound. It’s also the triad built on seventh step of the major scale. So, for example, the triad built on B in a C major scale is B diminished. Mark talks about some uses for the diminished triad—in a cycle of fourths progression, for instance, or as part of a V7 chord—and shows you the three voicings for diminished triads on the top three strings.
