Triads: The B Diminished Triad - Transforming the B Diminished Triad into the B Major Triad

To transform the diminished triad B-D-F into a B major triad, hold B as the root.

Transform the B-D minor 3rd into a major 3rd: B-D-sharp.

The m3 above D-sharp is F-sharp.

  • If D-F is a m3, then by the distributive property, D sharp - F sharp is also a m3.

The B major triad is spelled B-D-sharp-F-sharp.
