ExamplE4 half to full DiminiSheD voicingS in a light latin groove

-

This example shows you half to full diminished movement in II-V-I progressio­ns Dm7 5-Ddim7-Cmaj7. Shapes fit across fifth-string root, fourth-string root

m7b5 an2d sixth-string root voicings of the chords. The to the dim7 does sound subtle because there is only one note moving – three of four notes don’t move. We get around this by moving the diminished chord around in minor 3rds to create better voice leading.
