 | | Fully diminished chords are intersting in that the four notes which form them, are all the same interval apart, a minor third. |
 | | You may sometimes see a diminished chord refered to as just 1 b3 b5, this is a straight diminished chord, it functions much the same as a fully diminished chord and is easier to voice, but gives a less complete sound in my opinion, due to only containing one tri tone. |
 | | See how the D diminished works, it creates tension, and when the slide to F dim begins you are tricked into thinking, albeit briefly, that a resolution is on its way, but the chord slides to another dim chord, F dim, same notes just a different order, this increases the tension even more. |
