Re: What mando chords are these?
"Pure" diminished chord? I always thought a diminished 7th was a pure diminished chord. You just keep stacking minor thirds. I have never seen stacked diminished thirds. A>C>Eb>Gb = diminished seventh chord named by any of the notes in it, right? Are you saying the last note should be Gbb for a pure diminished? I have never heard that. If you do that, it's going to sound like a (Gbb)7 (F7) so how would it be used as a diminished chord?
Now, a m7b5: A>C>Eb>G, called by some a "half-diminished," is a different kind of chord and it it used in a different way. This is only Am7b5, it is not named by the other chord tones. If you make C the tonic, it's a Cm6. For Eb, it can be called Eb6#11 and for G, I guess it would be G+sus2add4 or Gsus2add4#5.
