Glossary

A diminished chord refers to a chord with a minor third interval and a flat fifth above the root, for example the diminished triad, half-diminished seventh, or diminished seventh chords. A diminished scale such as the Locrian scale, has some of those same intervals above the root. See also the diminished (octatonic) scale.
