2) A diminished chord can be formed by using the first, third (flat), and fifth (flat) notes of a major scale (1 3b 5b). A first inversion of the chord is (3b 5b 1). A second inversion is (5b 1 3b). You can also form a diminished chord by using the first, third, and fifth (flat) notes of a minor scale.
