The G diminished chord (gdim) is an intriguing and slightly tense-sounding chord that brings a unique flavour to music. It's made up of three notes: G, A#, and C#. The chord is built from a root, a minor third, and a diminished fifth, which gives it a distinct, unresolved feeling. You often encounter the gdim chord in genres like jazz and classical music, where it adds a touch of suspense or can be used to create tension before resolving into a more stable chord. In chord progressions, the gdim chord serves as a great tool for building anticipation, leading the listener to a satisfying resolution, and offering a surprising twist to a musical piece.

When a chord is inverted, one or more notes are shifted up an octave, changing the "bass" or lowest note of the chord.
