Whether you are playing jazz chord melody on ukulele or accompanying a band the diminished chord has a host of uses across the fingerboard. The best part is that the chord itself utilizes only one chord shape.
In this lesson we look at how you can use the diminished chord to resolve to any other chord, why it works and then put it to use over the song 'Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea'. If you want to take it up to the next level stick around until the end to learn Barry Harris' 6th Diminished scale and how we can use it to make harmony move smoothly over the fingerboard.
