Welll I sorta messed up thankyou for the correction it is indeed fret 1 on the D and not 3 as I have sinfully stated now yall can stone me -

As our great selection of knowledge on Muddie shows we can create some wild but simple ways to get from a G Maj to a Z Remarkabley Impossible to Finger chord but Ahem, thank you for explaining about the 7th and why they are like bits of Diminished chords or is that visa versa - awe well I am completely lost now.

Actauly it all comes down to the astonishing and amazing fact that Diminished Chords are made of Triad intervals. So A C and missing out a note or two F# - Bit of D 7th then the other end D#. Ummm errr confused - if not you should be - I am absolutely lost.

If one could play em with all the notes in on the Guitar then it would be simple but it is not, so I am getting ready to quit here -

From fret one open on the E bass string, G, A#, C#, E, G. Phew and so on ad infinitum. These are one variant of the 12 semitone Diminished Domain, should I be in a College - NO - Next there are the notes that are missing, like F same rule again G# and so on take three steps and stop. When we do F# and run that one out that is all she wrote and we have named all the notes in the Domain SOOOOO there are only three seperate and exclusive expressions of this image in any key. The Root, and it's lamentable shadows, the Root Augmented etc, and last the 2nd etc.

Best of luck
