How to Build Diminished and Augmented Chords - Music Theory

The video tutorial explains how to build augmented and diminished chords, starting with a review of major and minor chords. It details the process of constructing major triads using root notes and semitones, then transitions into forming augmented triads by raising the fifth note. The tutorial concludes with instructions on creating diminished triads by lowering the third and fifth notes. Various methods for identifying these triads are discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of chord construction.
