Seminar Description
In this live seminar we explore creative ways to voice diminished chords and how to utilise the triads that reside within the diminished scale. We also discuss the altered mode and the ‘constellation of triads’ that can be used in our altered voicings and improvised melodies.

Great stuff. Thank you!
Ken Reynolds says
Great session! I loved learning about stacking triads on top of diminished 7 chords. Is there anywhere I could find some examples of how to use these chords? Or do you just use them like you do a regular diminished 7 chord?

In those lessons we cover different examples of how and when to apply diminished chords, and also discuss the triads that can be derived from the diminished scale.
You can also find a forum thread here on Diminished Harmony with more tips, tricks, and examples: https://www.pianogroove.com/community/t/all-about-diminished/3179
I hope that helps ken and let us know if you have any further questions.
