Hi there - glad you are enjoying them
In the example you give, D diminished and D major would be in different scales so you would actually have to modulate to include both of those chords in a progression. Your suggestion of E is a better one, as E would be the root of the minor scale that Ddim is in. Its not the only choice however, and mostly its about what sounds good. For instance in "Still Got the Blues" by Gary more, the main progression goes: Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bm7-5 E7 Am Here the Bm7-5 is actually a diminished triad with an added minor 7th note, and you can see that the tension is resolved by moving to an E7 which is the 5th, not the tonic - so there are options. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Not, that I am some theory genius, but AFAIK:
Dm6 would have 1st, min 3rd, perf. 5th AND minor 6th (so it would be based off on Aeolian mode) dm#5 would have 1st, min 3rd and augumented 5th. They are the same notes by name, but the role of the note in the chord changes and with it the way, your ear hears it.

So are these correct fingerings (or some of them, I know there are multiple correct fingerings):
Dm6: E - A 1 D 0 G 3 b 3 e 1 Dm#5: E - A - D 0 G 3 b 3 e 1 |
