Thread Name: Help: Diminished chord???
Subject: Diminished chord???
Hi there, saddle pals. A queek question from Kansas:

I'm learning a new song and all is going well until I get to the notation for an "A dim" chord, which I recognize from my rusty, dusty, musty memory as a diminished chord. However, I go to my handy, dandy gig bag book of chords and lo, I find nothing resembing an A-diminished chord. So, what's a fledgling guitar player to do? How does one play an A-diminshed chord, and in the future, how do I discern how to play other diminished chords if the chord books don't give me this information?

Wondering in Kansas, which doesn't have quite the ring of Wondering in Wyoming, but still, I'm wondering,
