Thread Starter | Diminished Chords in Folk/Punk So I'm looking for artists that use diminished chords as frequently as possible, but also tastefully. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations within the folk, folk/punk, or punk genres. Examples of what I'm looking for would include "Say Yes" by Elliott Smith (he throws in two diminished chords in the bridge and does it beautifully) or the acoustic section of "Prophet in Plain Clothes" by Defeater (the diminished chord he uses is at the very end of the song). |

| Me posting a Radiohead song is probably not a surprise. But another great song... *The chorus begins with a diminished chord. |

Thread Starter | Yeah I'm a Radiohead fan myself. I'm just trying to incorporate diminished chords into my music more because the songs that I have written that include them are my personal favorites, so I want to mess around with them more. That's why I'm looking for an artist that uses them pretty damn often. |

| The good thing about diminished chords is that they can act as dominant chords as well so they can be used a lot in terms of modulation to a another key... you get thousands of examples of this in classical and jazz music :-)
