How do you do a diminished triad?

In a diminished triad, the middle and top two notes of the chord—called the third and the fifth — are flattened (lowered a half step). It is indicated by the symbol "o" or "dim." For example, the G triad based on a major scale is formed by playing G (the root note), B (the third note), and D (the fifth note).

What is a diminished inverted triad?

The diminished triad presents the final use for first inversion. Early composers did not like using augmented or diminished intervals. Notice that a root position diminished triad contains a diminished fifth. The second inversion of the same triad contains an augmented fourth.
