Major and minor chords are called triads. They are three note chords consisting of the root, the third and
the fifth of the scale. In the case of a minor triad, a flat third is played.
Next in our free piano chords lesson, we take a look at diminished chords and the notes which form them.
Diminished Piano Chords
Diminished chords are triads as well, and consist of three notes, the root, flat third, and flat fifth of the
scale. (root, ♭3rd, ♭5th) A diminished chord is represented by the symbols dim or °. For instance B
diminished can be written as Bdim or B°.
Let’s take a look at 12 diminished triad chords and the notes which form them.

In most sheet music books, C dim or C° denotes a diminished 7th chord. This chord consists of four
notes, the root, flat third, flat fifth and double flat seventh of the scale. (root, ♭3rd, ♭5th, ♭♭7th) For
instance, the notes of a Cdim7 or C°7 chord are C E♭ G♭ A. Here are all 12 diminished seventh chords.

A minor seventh chord is really a minor chord with an added ♭7th note. It consists of four notes, the root,
♭3rd, 5th and ♭7th of the scale. Its symbols are -7 or min7. So D minor seventh would be written as D-7 or
Dmin7.
Here are all twelve minor seventh chords and the notes which form them.

Seventh Flat Fifth Piano Chords – (7th ♭5th chords, Dominant Seventh Flat Five Chord)
We now move on to seventh flat fifth chords. To form a 7th ♭5th chord, you use the root, 3rd, ♭5th and
