Guitar II: The Magic of the Diminished Chord

One of my favorite chords to use on the guitar is the diminished chord. It is a chord that evokes many interesting sounds and images. The chord is very guitar friendly because of it's parallel construction.
Parallel construction means that all of the intervals between the noters of the chord are the same (minor 3rds).
For practical purposes, it means that each voicing of the chord can be shifted up or down three frets to get the same chord with the notes inverted (or switched around).

The chord diagrams above show 3 possible voicings for the chord with a starting point of the 6th string, 5th string and 4th string. Keep in mind, by simply moving the chord shape up or down 3 frets, you keep the notes of the chord but simply change the order.

Experiment with the sound of the diminished chord.
