About Learn Piano #7- Learn Chromatic Chords & Chromatic Scale Run
Learn Piano Level 7 - Learn to reharmonize a song with Diminished 7 Chords
Do you want your piano playing to sound more like a professional? You need to learn how to put in
Diminished 7 Chords
into your songs. They create great sounding bass lines whereby you move your chords chromatically either upward or downward in a chord progression.
Many students are scared of the Diminished 7 Chords because they find them very difficult to play. How can we turn something complex to easy thinking?
Here's the Secret:
Do not use the standard chord formula (1 b3 b5 bb7) when you play the diminished 7 Chords. Use the simple formula: 1 b3 b5 6 whereby the 4 tones are each 3 semi tones apart. Once your thinking is clear in this matter, you will be able to put in diminished 7 Chords easily into songs.
