This A# diminished chord came up in a song Dan just posted, which was in the key of Bb. I had to seriously think about how to play over that "out of key" chord. Switch from Bb natural minor to A# Locrian mode...lol Got over my head pretty quickly...lol

I also think of a diminished chord as a minor flat 5 chord and I write it as such.

I believe technically if the key of Dan's song is actually Bb then that diminished 7th chord is Bb diminished 7th.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
