This music composition lesson explains the issues involved in resolving a Diminished 7th chord. After explanation about constructing a Diminished 7th, about key referencing it, and about inversions of the chord, the video explores the two notes that need particular resolution and the implications of that for voice leading and for the choice of resolution chord. More radical treatments of Diminished 7th chords are then investigated including the use of enharmonic change and the employment of chains of Diminished 7ths.
