A minor third is three half steps (e.g., C to Eb) For example, Cdim Spelling: C Eb Gb A Each note is the same distanceinterval apart On C6, you would get that combo open with P5 and 6 on strings 4-7.

If you play those notes and go up 3 frets (to the third fret) it becomes Eb Gb A C Hope this helps ------------------ Larry Bell - email: larrylarrybell.org - gigs - Home Page 2000 Fessenden S-12 8x8, 1969 Emmons S-12 6x6, 1971 Dobro.

While virtually non-existent in country, rock, and modern pop music, it is a staple of jazz standards.

Its most fundamental usage is to take the basic ii,V progression in jazz, and impart a dark, more emotional sense to the musical dynamic.

When there is a m7b5 chord, it will often we followed by an altered dominant 7th chord, which continues this emotional, sad kind of sound.

And its most common resolution will be to a minor chord for the same reason.

So, in the key of C, a common happy progression is Dm7 G7 Cmaj7.

A G7b9 would be the same fret with pedals 5,6, strings 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, tonic on string 10.

Any idea why some call it a 12 dim Since both the 3 and the 5 are flatted.

The minor 7 flat 5 makes way more sense to me.But then as you can tell.Im not a school musician.Thanks for helping us dummies.

First, since its played with a Bb in the bass, the chord is acting as a 9th chord, which would be in a totally different capacity.

Almost invariably, a Dm7b5 will be followed by a G7 (dominant 7th), and usually an altered one at that.

And then it will resolve to the Cm7 (not an Am7.

I think its called a half-diminished based on the fact that you are starting with a minor 7 chord.

When you fully diminish it, you are flatting the dominant 7, effectively making a 6 out of it.

A fully diminished chord is normally called a diminished 7, which is of course a pretty common chord found in a lot of modern popular music, unlike the half diminished m7b5.

Monk showed him the progression of going from lets say an Ebm6th with a C in the bass to an F7.

It wasnt until much later that the chord was called a Cm7b5 or a half-diminished.
