Half-diminished seventh chord



The half-diminished seventh chord (also known as a minor seventh flat five) is created by taking the root, minor third, diminished fifth and minor seventh (1, â™­3, â™­5 and â™­7) of any major scale; for example, C half-diminished would be (C Eâ™­ Gâ™­ Bâ™­). In diatonic harmony, the half-diminished chord naturally occurs on the 7th scale tone (for example, Bm7(â™­5) in C major).
