You have been a great resource for recapping my harmony classes from college! Thank you for your work!

I have NEVER had any real use for diminished chords - till today, wow

[Bashanvibe]

I use that often I didn’t know the why until just now thank you 🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥

I'm thinking out loud here: C7 to Cm7 to F7b9 to Bb.
I think that's the turn around for So Very Hard to Go, by Tower of Power....

Yes, that's a nice function of those chords. I have a question: The m7b5 chords are often called half diminished but they have a complete different function. Carol Kaye called the expression half diminished a layman's term. Do you agree with this?

Bohemian Rhapsody actually uses the diminished as sus trick in the “i see a little silhouetto of a man” sequence

On the C diminished, what’s the A note played for? Is that standard?

[tubeo]

I think diminished is the sound of gospel

[taquitoburrito]

Very sus-y sounding, never heard it that way before

My social justice in music professor said diminished chords are racist chords because they originated from the European white patriarchy. Is this true? I like them but my professor says I would be promoting racism which I don't understand.
