The Easiest and Most Effective Passing Chord in Gospel Music
In this video, I explain the difference between diminished and augmented chords by breaking down their interval structures—minor thirds for diminished chords and major thirds for augmented chords.
I also clear up the misconception of a so-called "diminished augmented" chord, which doesn’t exist due to their conflicting qualities.
