ok, in my band the bassist does this strange lil interlude on his bass and he wanted me to do an "exotic" sounding arpegio. i wanted to do a B diminished chord but accidently another one that the bassist really likes and wants me to use.
first you make a B major shape root on the E string. then you minor it, flatten the 5th and the TRIPLE flatten the 7th (instead of double flattening it like in a diminished chord)
it looks like this
e |----------
b |----------
g |-----7----
d |-----5----
a |-----8----
E |-----7----
any ideas what this chord is?
cheers!
bin playing for 7 years or so.....even lost 15% of hearin in my right ear after the last gig
Is it just an inversion of a G7? Doesn't look like any fun to finger.

first finger on the fifth fret, the second and third split and get both the seventh fret's and the little finger is free to finger the eighth, not that hard ;)
(it did take me a while to figure out a good way)
Bdim with a 6th in it...
sorry, wasnt being picky but it fits more with his B diminished chord idea he had.
...ah yes so it is.
i didnt actually look at the notes in the chord - b,f,d,g. i have a talent for making things harder than they seem lol.
sounds alot more evil than the more common positions of the chord dont you think?

Note that you're both right.
G7 has the notes G-B-D-F
Bdim has the notes B-D-F, with an added 6th, G.
The V7 and viidim are both dominant chords. They share mostly the same notes and the same harmonic function, to provide tension and a clear resolution back to the I.

Wow! Thanks, Helgi! I'm not good enough at this yet to have happened on Alex's more sophisticated solution, but I feel like I'm getting somewhere -- I got one!
