it has been a while since i visited it. in fact the last time i seriosly look at it was before i understood diatonic theory. now looking at it i found lots of cool different things.
like if u take the seventh mode of the harmonic minor its a diminished scale. then i thoughthang on a minuet the diminished arpegio is a repeating patern. what i mean by this as the invtervals between all the notes are the same. so i could in fact have four diminished chords in the scale, one for each note in the orrigonal diminished arpegio.
what i wondered is the u dont get the other diminished chords buy adding thirds.
so are they really diminished or should they be some weird sus or 13th chord or somethin.
for an example a harmonic minor has the notes
A B C D E F G# A
the seventh chord of the scale is G# diminished and has notes G# B D and F
but another diminished chord is B diminished and has notes B D F and G#
dito.... D dim ...... D F G# B
..dito... F dim ...... F G# B D
but the last three chords arnt made by adding thirds.
B dim is root b3 b5 6
D dim is root b3 4# 6
F dim is root 2 4# 6
in reality i realise i am being anal and it doesnt really matter.
edit: oi also realise i just had a rant about how i like the harmonic minor, well it was fun :D
