3 Way to use Half-Diminished Chords for Guitar 

Really, really enjoying the Paul Simon/Malcom Gladwell audiobook. I know the 5 hours won't be enough...Thanks for the tip 😀

Been following you for many years but never posted a comment. Small thing but really enjoyed hearing you sing on this - yes please do more on recording. Thanks!

I’ve been writing tunes with this chord for 30 years and only recently found out the name. I love it! It’s fun to walk it up chromatically too.

Ohhhhh man, I wish respect and admiration from others were so easy! 🥺🤣 I love that chord, and was floored by it when you first mentioned it some months back. Thank you Prof. Sean! Bm7b5 sounds awesome on my Alvarez Artist Elite Deluxe!...🤠

Great vid, thanks! Interestingly the same fingering also gives a 9 chord, although with the bass root note omitted. In this form it sees a bit of use in blues. Keep the vids coming!

I am pretty sure Paul Simon actually taught college courses in songwriting for a while. Very humble about his creativity and success. Thanks for posting

I really enjoy your stuff. Keep it up! Great job making fun of the salty comments. Talking about recording, I just started experimenting with recording my own stuff this summer, and I'm learning a ton. I have found mixing the tracks to be quite intimidating (I have several songs sitting in Pro Tools waiting for me to finalize their mixes), so I'd love to hear some of your process as you mix your stuff to share with others. Thanks!

Your a very good teacher, you make it easier to learn

Cool. Like a Bowie song with a tinge of folky blues. Nice!

Maybe you should look at your mind and think in your hand instead?

Can you do a video on using a major 2 chord instead of minor in major keys and what that opens up? Or have you some one that I missed and can watch? I've been experimenting in the key of c using d major instead but I feel there's more to i can do that a simple substitute like can it open up in a key change or modulating?

Stormy Monday uses that

Minor 7 flat 5 is a half diminished chord. Fully diminished would have a double flatted 7 (which isvbasically the 6).

Personally, I think a chord like that is better used at a more dramatic moment in a song as opposed to an intro. It's one of those chords that underscores a subtle but serious emotion. Just me. :)

Nice lesson

Syckness is still a bop 🍀

Min7b5 players always be thinkin in their mind

Your stuff is so helpful and not boring but for the love of god will you please get some sort of PIP (Picture in Picture) fretboard chart that shows us finger placement like all the other people that teach guitar on RU-vid. its 2023 Sean. Please.

Smart people look at their hand while playing!! No crime there!!

a fam member just gave me a Kick a Snare and a Hi hat ... this is ALL your fault Sean Daniel !

My FL license plate is am7b5. Lol

The writers strike is not stupid, it's more than justified.

Song writing is hard.

Maybe you should think with your hand and look with your mind, Mr Smarty Pants! ;-)
