Here’s some good news. You only need to know three diminished chords. Sound too good to be true?
Let me show you why. A diminished chord is made by stacking minor thirds evenly, which means if I were to invert this chord by playing leapfrog with this C and putting it up here, I would still have my third stacked evenly. So by the time I play these three diminished chords, I’m back at the one I started at.
So that means three chords, three scales, three things to learn. You’re welcome.
