Good in-between chord. Doesn't he use it in "All About You"? Always dug the progression in that one. Nice vid!

For sure, he does the little hammer-on from E to F on the low-E string, but I'm pretty sure it's just a plain F chord there. He does the same thing on the live version of "Memory Motel," too.

At :57 he is trying to demonstrate the use of Fdim7, but the following 2 chords after the first Fdim7 are F#dim7.

Take all videos with a grain of salt people!

Oh, good grief, Wiseblood. I made a brief (and basically irrelevant) mistake -- in the spur of the moment, I went a half-step too far. Had nothing to do with the thrust of the video. Get a life.

Very cool, Mel! It's one of those chords I've long wondered about - when used in the context of Keith's songs, it has a lovely ring to it. Thank you for making this!

I am at work but will watch tonight. Thanks to Mel Belli for being inspired enough by our favorite band to post instructional videos of Keef riffs for the rest of us to enjoy and learn from.

Look man...you're putting up a video where you are discussing the use of an Fdim7 chord which I think is a wonderful idea. What if some n00b to guitar falls upon that and says, "wow, nice! I can play Fdim7 in all these different places!"

Come on man. I like the idea for the vid, but let's get the information correct.

I'll take Mel Belli's sloppy and soulful videos anyday. If you want precision and plastic, go to the U2 board.

Slightly off-topic, but listen to Ray Charles' "I Believe to My Soul"

and then Bob's "Ballad of a Thin Man":

when you present facts it's not being a critic. it's bringing up facts.

I won't be able to meet you guys. I'll be in guitar lessons learning how to properly use an Fdim7 chord.
