StichMethod Guitar I think, after a little investigation, the same is true for the 5th string root diminished chord shape. Each note can be a root and the intervals rotate through the chord shape to make a full diminished chord when you move the shape 3 frets like the one you showed from the Beatles song.
Didn't hear the answer to my question here so far so...
When you are counting up the chords based on the scale notes...
Major, minor, minor,
major, major, minor,
then you get to the 7th note which should be a diminished chord (1 fret up, I believe) would it be a half or full diminished chord?
Thanks in advance - Jstn

@@billgreen9669 Thank you, Bill.
Just got this cuz it's cheaper than Prevagen to help me remember. Like most things guitar, stuff just slips away after a 3 days. Thanks for this.
I have been playing music for 63 years, guitar for 56. Although I have no formal music education, I have took lessons and studied many books on music theory. In my 20's I was working offshore, driving a boat. One summer, the company sent me a deck hand to train. He was a small framed nerdy guy that was a college music professor. We stayed on that boat 24 hours a day for a month. I taught him what he needed to know about working an offshore boat and he taught me music theory in a way that made more sense to me than any book could. He put everything in simple terms. He taught me to look at music as conversation filled with nouns, pronouns, verbs and adverbs. To look at solo's as being happy, mad, cursing and praying. I was enlightened. The reason I bring this up is that I see the same down to earth personality in the StichMethod Guitar video's. You are easy to connect with and are a very good teacher. I think watching these videos will make me a better teacher and player.
Thats a cool story thanks for sharing
you're easily one of the best guitar teachers on youtube , the information you put out isn't just licks and things you can improve but you really are teaching the intricacies of music. this is a god send because most people learning do not know what they have to learn and youtube is a scattered place making it hard to learn what'll make you a better musician. thankyou
YOU are such a great teacher. Hugs from across the universe, Brother.
I have searched high and low for meaningful guitar lessons online. I’m going to uSe a stich phrase to describe how I feel about his lessons: I AM BLOWN AWAY. Stich, your method of teaching style works perfectly with how I learn. I have learned more in several of your videos than I have with 40 years of floundering around with various instructors. I feel like I am stealing from you by watching any more of your free videos. Thank you. P.S. I slept with my guitar last night. That’s how reinvigorated I am since discovering your techniques
Awesome to hear! So glad your enjoying
This has done the opposite of diminishing my knowledge on chords. :-) Best explanations of diminished chord I have ever seen!
Really love the way you explained, just be shifting fingers to get new chord. Thank you!
This video on diminished chord is a life saver. Wow!!!!
Great job man
Really love this patient explanation of diminished variety chords. Especially the subtle finger movement. Thanks so much!!!
I just watched the first 5 videos from stitch method series..... and my head exploded. Notes all over the floor....LOL!
HoeLee Cow. UnBrainfreeze Owch. A 50,000 watt light just light up in my brain. Thanks Ian. The way you point out different aspects often makes my old brain suddenly snap, connecting seemingly scattered dots into simple fantastic and quite understandable logic. Magical!
Notes in a diminished chord are all roots of the same diminished chord. You just blew my mind.😮
😊😊😊
Diminished chords . . . proving the adage "Music is the sound of math" !
There are 12 notes in the chromatic scale. And 12 half-step intervals between them. (1-b2-2-b3-3-4-b5-5-b6-6-b7-7 then back to 1)
A diminished chord is 1-b3-b5-bb7. (bb7 is just another "label" for 6)
The interval from 1 to b3: THREE half-steps. (1 => b2, b2 => 2, 2 => b3)
The interval from b3 to b5: THREE half-steps (b3 => 3, 3 => 4, 4 => b5)
The interval from b5 to bb7: THREE half-steps (b5 => 5, 5 => b6, b6 => bb7)
The interval from bb7 to 1: THREE half-steps (bb7 => b7, b7 => 7, 7 => 1)
Notice that as you cycle through the notes (intervals) of a diminished chord, you go through the entire chromatic scale, in EQUAL intervals of three 1/2-steps at a time, and end up back on the note where you started. (3 x 4 = 12)
No matter which of those 4 notes you start on (the 1, the b3, the b5, or the bb7), you will cycle through the same 4 notes in sequence, and end up back where you started.
Thus each diminished chord is actually FOUR diminished chords, depending on which note you decide to call the "1."
For example:
C diminished = C Eb Gb Bbb (i.e., A)
Eb diminished = Eb Gb Bbb (i.e., A) Dbb (i.e, C)
Gb diminished = Gb Bbb (i.e., A) Dbb (i.e., C) Fbb (i.e., Eb)
A diminished = A C Eb Gb
Music is the sound of math.
Wow great post! Thankyou.
Love the way you teach and really appreciate the lessons. Thank you kind sir.
❤️ from Milton NH
This just demystified things for me SO MUCH!!! Thank you!
I have learned so much from you in a very short time. You are fast becoming my favorite teacher. Thank you.
Thanks man! Love all your videos and I've learned so much from them.
I hate that I watched this a while back--loved it--and apparently forgot it all until i watched it again today. This made SO much sense. Now to hope against hope that my continued practice will solidify it in my memory bank. You are the Great 'Splainer. Thanks a second time. (You'd think a 70 year old brain would retain better).
VERY helpful. Thank you!
wow..never exoected that to be so easy !! one of the best lesson series on youtube ..thank you
Amazing lesson. Thank you!
First time in my life I understand where diminished chords come and how easy they are built and why the second form can have different names (this I have never understood until this moment). I feel enlightened.
This great ! Thank you!
Another great explanation. Thanks
Great lesson! Thank you so much!
Fantastic lesson! That every note is a root bit blew my mind! Thank you so much!
Excellent lesson as ever - Thanks !!
Extremely helpful man, thank you!
Just two words.......... THANKS STICH........Stay sound....
Thank you sir! This is another great lesson!
This one goes straight to the pure gold file! Or should I say 'rough diamond'? Not only a great lesson, but also a rich source of instruction in the comments section! Seriously, I've just been copy-pasting a bunch of them into a word doc for future reference. Thanks Ian for opening up such a rich seam!
V helpful Ian, thank you.
Love the explanation and visuals here. Good work!
Great lesson. Thank you!
Best teacher ever...never took music lesson yet learned so much..thanks!
Learning has occurred.Great video.
Diminished chords are the spice of the fretboard! Thanks Ian
Amazing explanation. Explaining each note and it’s degree within the key, and then tweaking them to change the chord was very helpful. Thanks again
Awesome lesson! You explain things so well, and your demeanor lets us know everything is gonna be alright. Thanks!!!
Expecto patronum
NOW this makes sense. Thank you.
Wow.perfectly explained dude.thumbs up and thanks for the vid.
Coming from a piano background, I know that on piano, the structures of chords easily "seen", just by looking at the piano keys, my problems with guitar are that I could not "see" the keys (strings), so many thanks for a very thoughtful and thorough explanation.
Great lesson thank you!
Best explanation I have seen . Thank you
🙏🙏🙏 Amazing videos you make. Great teacher🙏
The never lost system plus the blues primer and caged system playlist and master classes are a game changer :) I love it! Words can never thank you
Great lessons are given by great teachers who make seemingly complex matters more simple. Thank you, Sensei👍
Best teacher! Just learnt something new about diminished chords. Love your teaching style👍
Thank you for your clear instructions. So rare!
Love your paintings! Beautiful! All the best artists work in multiple genres!
Great Video Ian!
Man, the lightbulb just came on 🤦🏾♂️great way of explaining the diminish
You are a great teacher! You have earned my subscription!! God bless you brother!
Happy New Year, Ian and family x
love the lessons
the A string full dim chord also repeats every 3 frets
which also connects nicely to the D string full dim chord
i.e. D full dim on the 5th fret A string = D full dim 6th fret D string = D full Dim 8th Fret A String = D full dim 9th fret D string etc.
works for me
love your work
keep it up
I knew that they both repeated every 3 frets, but I never thought about how the 2 chords unite. Now that I think about it, of course the 2 chords would be the same as you said. Nice call. I will remember this now. It's just so cool. I already knew the notes and the theory from piano.
thank you for this
thanks so much Ian. i've seen diminished chords crop up and i know how to play them in different shapes but i never knew how to use them. So many teachers don't explain what different kinds of chords do to a song or their effect which is really important to know, thank you so much for explaining that aspect too! also the G minor 7 chord shape you use at 9:00 i often found barring the b and e strings with my middle finger easier then putting my ring finger where the pinky is, also it give you a free finger to add embellishments which is really cool but its how i tought myself to play that shape :3
You’re a great teacher. You explain everything in clear in details. Thanks for the wisdom
Great lesson thank you
Wonderful lesson. Thank you.
If you keep strumming that full diminished chord, your beard will grow back quicker😊👍
So helpful
This was an amazing lesson. Thank you so much.
Best CZcams instructor, hands down! Thanks for making these videos!
Honestly you have one of the best guitar lesson channel on CZcams, your content is great with very good explanations! Thanks a lot and keep doing it :D
Fantastic / was searching for “how to” you supplied a great one thx!
This just became my all time favorite video. You blow my mind every day. Just awesome!! 🙏
Thanks Dave
This is pure knowledge
Absolute quality content. The actual theoretical construction of the shapes earns you my applause!
Thanks!
Good stuff thank you
Not to be weird but you have helped me so much that i feel like we are friends! Haha. Thank you for putting out so much. Truly the best on CZcams.
Been watching diminished videos all day and this is by far the most helpful! Thank You! The swapping of notes clip? 🤯
Great, thanks.
BOOM 💥 2019 starts 🎈 happy 😆 new year Stich 🎊 great great video - I could have used bold caps but thought repetition better 🤣🤗 I think of all your videos this is my favourite a) finally you had a haircut (im roasting’ today !) and b) all your editing segways completed the impact of understanding. Love and light 💡🙏🏽
Great lesson. Diminished chords also crop up in a lot of old tunes between the I chord and the ii chord. "Ain't Misbehavin'" is a prime example. It creates a nice ascending bass line. (I'm a big fan of nice ascending bass lines.) Eb Eb dim Fm7 F# dim...
Great tip!
So a full diminished chord is simultaneously four different full diminished chords, depending on which of the four notes you choose as the root.
The notes D, F, Ab and B make up D diminished, but the exact same four notes make up F diminished, Ab diminished and B diminished.
Essentially, this is possible because the 12 semitones of the octave have been neatly quartered. All intervals are three semitones long.
Got the new version, thanks!
No. Thank you!
Phenomenal
Probably the best lesson I’ve ever watched on CZcams...wish I could take lessons from you
I’m hearing “The trick was to surrender to the flow” in some of those diminished chords…😎
Great content, thanks for sharing. +1 sub
This is the best and easiest explanation i have ever seen and so easy to understand, you Sir are a very gifted music teacher!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed
That's an amazing property, that every third generates a new inversion. Also interesting that the D full diminished shape becomes the A half diminished shape when you move it back to the A string, and that's kinda sorta the fifth of the D shape. I wonder if that would have an application...
I subscribed after just this one video of yours, Ian. You rock! I figured that since you're affiliated with Sean Daniel you would have great insight to provide.
There is a great example of moving diminished chord in Road trippin' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the end of the interlude, I never understood what was going on until now! Thank you so much! You explained it so well!
Great lesson! Brings back memories of music theory class in college.
Because it was taught on a great guitar!😉
By a great guitar player and teacher! :)
Now *that* is some powerful guitarish sorcery.
Cool lesson...and an Editing masterpiece. Lol.
Hahah!
Another great lesson!! (wish you’d tuck the pinky away occasionally behind neck…for us visual learners, ha)
U smart little guitar Jedi
I really enjoyed that you got rid of the intro with the weird tune. it was cool at first, but listening to the same tune over 200 times was getting old. solid work as always, keep it up!
Ive somehow managed to avoid or ignore diminished chords for so many years other than learning them in specific songs. This lesson really opened up a whole new world for me. I am really enjoying experimenting with using diminished chords now and finding lots of ways to weave them into my music. You did a great job of explaining them. Thanks. Do you have a course on scales and how to use them with compositions that included diminished chords?
Holly crap it’s the secret cord, been looking for this cord for years!
now play it and please the Lord.
Cohen was a truly great composer, imho.
@@554LH No, that one goes like this: The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift :)
What secret chord?It is simply just three minor third intervals,four notes that played sequential.
“I don’t play guitar “ HA! You’re killing me Stitch. If what you do is not playing guitar I wish I didn’t play guitar as well.
I always wondered what those weird chords in The Lizards were. Trey even does that same walk up in intervals of 3 frets that you mention in here!
another great lesson! Got slightly distracted around halfway through though as I had an urge to listen to "Ghost Town" by The Specials. Is that a progression from minor to diminished in the keyboard intro? Happy New Year by the way!
Dude! Nice break down on the feet broad graph. It was like listening to some kind of sports commentary. Touch Down!!
Great video Stich. Taking it from the minor chord and slowly transforming to diminished made it very easy to understand how the chord's constructed. Question, what app are you using on your computer that showed a portion of the fretboard with the root in red?
Neck Diagrams, glad you liked the vid
Great lesson!..I learn quite a bit from your explanations..Are you from NY?..I'm from the Island, and you sound like everyone I know.
Thank you very much for this lesson. Right now I'm wondering: What do you call a full diminished chord with a major third instead of a minor third?
I'm hearing TLC's No Scrubs with all these Min7 chords
