The Bdim Triads
This is a continuation of free lesson blogs:
Major Triads in C on strings 123
Major Triads in C on strings 234.
Minor Triads in C on strings 123
Minor Triads in C on strings 234
Dim triads consist of 2 minor 3rd intervals stacked on top of one another. When you stack 2 minor 3rds (3 fret distances), starting from note B, you get the notes B, D and F.
Another way to think of this: a dim triad is a minor chord with the 5th down a half step.
The word “diminished” in a chord name, always refers to the 5th that was lowered. (The words “major” and “minor” refer to the 3rd)
Here are the fingerings for the Bdim triad on strings 123 and on 234.
Play them up and down the guitar neck on both string sets till you have them memorized.
A fun way to practice these chords is over a G7 1-chord groove backing track. (G7 has the same notes as a Bdim triad: G B D F)

Conclusion
Hit me up anytime at vreny@zotzinmusic.com if you have any questions, or if you would like to book a lesson.
These free lessons are cool, but you will never experience the progress, joy, and results that my students experience in lessons when you’re learning by yourself from blogs and videos.
That is why people take lessons: way better results and progress, much more complete information, exposed to way more creative ideas than you can get from a blog or YouTube video.
There is only so much that self-study can accomplish.
If you want to see amazing results and progress in your guitar playing, buy your first lesson here and get started ASAP.
