The dim7 chord is really just three minor thirds in a trenchcoat

We should never diminish chords. They deserve our respect and esteem for their contribution to music. Don't diminish chords, praise them.

It鈥檚 incredibly helpful when Mr. Bennett shows an example, and then shows an alternate version of what it would sound like in another instance - In this case, what would happen if the chord wasn鈥檛 diminished.<br>He does this often in his videos, and I learn so much from it every time. Thank you for your time and your talent.

I think one of the most useful and insightful things that David does in these videos is record and play the alternative. As in "They didn't have to do it this way, they could simply have done this..." What a considerate addition. Thanks for all your work!

I love when I'm watching a music theory video and realize that I actually understand what they're talking about now

George Harrison used so many diminished chords in his solo songs that Eric Clapton once chose to cover a GH song ("Run So Far," from Journeyman) because it <b>didn't</b> have a diminished chord.

I love the diminished chord in "youve got a friend in me", especially because its almost immediately followed by an augmented chord
