Let us record this right now and here we have the Live Chat Room at newstream.tv check it out guys music lessons everyday you will find in scooter youstream, YouTube, flicker, myspace check it out. So, what we have here is we will be doing the actual in ten minutes you might know why I miss that you are all invited anyway as you all know.
So here we have in this piece of music here is your staff, now the idea is that I have a question that said Walt I do not understand augmented chords and diminished chords what are they and I am going to show you guys exactly what I am talking about.
So here we have in a piece of music if you have an augmented chord, augmented chords are written down as pluses and diminished chords are written down as circles so if you see a chord like this I know it is really confusing but if you C with a zero it does not mean it is Celsius it means it is a C diminished chord. If you see C plus this is a java script coding you know this is C augmented that is how that works guys.
So now let us continue this if I was playing all of the chords yesterday it is hard G augmented. Now the idea is maybe changed you know you should call this by the way if there are like questions you get always call on the show or co host your video conferencing you have got a plenty times of -- and we have not -- and it is kind of interesting so there is the idea augmented, diminished. Now that we understand the symbol we need to understand the chords and how to built up so when a chord is written down as diminished what that means is that everything we all know what are the three notes. I have not never played music before in my life I should not be here teaching, I do not know anything. I need you guys to tell me what are the three notes in a piece in a chord? I do not know, I have never played before I have been very serious.
What are the three notes of any chord that make up that chord? Root third fifth, wow you know that sounds kind of familiar. I think that zenchantress is right you know what it is also coming back to me now. Yes you know what that is it. Jason you get it. Casey said C well we are working in the key of C the root is C, you are right Jason, but now if I am just working on understanding what are the three notes in a chord that makes that structure of the chord so that when I play this C. What are the three notes that make that C a C chord with this C where here, a C chord. What makes this work? What are the three roots there and the answer is the root, the third, and the fifth.
Now, let us understand how this works and then build our diminished chords off that so we have. Oh Jason has wild guess. Hey that is what is all about You know you should have some wild guess it was a wild guess and I do not know why I said that. Okay so check out root 3-5 and I do not indicate some of the notes hear your Jason C, E, G but now if I were to continue this check it out we have this If I want this to be diminished the way you make a chord diminished is you flatten the third and you flatten the fifth so our old chord which is C-E-G our the new chord is C, Eb, Gb.
Now what that means well, here is our chord right here and you know I have been playing it all the guitar before get it and that is all about but anyway check them back A, B, C we have this C chord here is our C chord if I want it to flatten the third and flatten the fifth we now have this our old chord is this and our new chord is this C, Eb, Gb.
Where will I ever use a C, Eb, Gb or C diminished chord well a lot of times compose of myself including or use it like for example if you want to pay attention in a movie or a film or in a piece of music. So let us say that there is a girl trapped, strapped on a rubber truck and there is a train coming in. How do you pay attention? Well. You are not going to play this chord pre tension make it sound spooky, make it sound tensed that is what is all about guys so if I were to continue this what if we were in the key of F we never played a C diminished chord of you were in the key of F including of some of a kind of front
