In this video, I’ll show you two essential types of diminished chords you can use to harmonize the great Erroll Garner ballad “Misty”. I’ll walk you through how to use “root diminished” and “leading tone diminished” chords to bring new dimensions to this great composition. I use this technique a lot, and I think you’ll find it helpful in your piano reharmonizations!
