music theory question

Good evening, just a quick question tonite. If i'm playing a G fifth (G, D, G) and then flatten the octave by a semi tone (G, D, F#), am I diminishing the chord?

A little rusty on the theory it may seem, thanks in advance!

    No, you can't diminish a bare chord (your G, D, G) or a major chord, it has to be minor (ie include a Bb). You're just playing a major 7th.
