Also, check out my music intervals article for descriptions of all the intervals used to build scales and chords.Īll 7th-degree notes in major scales build a diminished triad. You can also view the diminished triad as a minor triad with a flattened 5th. That means that you add the note a minor third above the root note, then you add the note that is a minor third above the second note added (m3 + m3). I cover each triad in detail so give that a quick read.īasically, a diminished triad is built by stacking 2 minor thirds (m3) above a root note. Take a look at my article on the 4 triads in music which includes the diminished triad. You can add a diminished, minor or major 7th to the diminished triad to form the fully diminished, half-diminished and m-maj7♭5 chords respectively. It is built by adding a note a minor third above the root note, and a note a minor third above that second note. Triads are 3-note chords built with intervals of a third and a fifth above a root note.ĭiminished triads have a minor third and a diminishedfifth, hence the name.
