I would but I fear you actually want to summon the devil... Lol.

There isn't a specific note, but people did use to believe that a diminished fifth chord would raise the devil.

"Diablo en musica."

Well you know how to play power chords? They're fifth chords. Diminished fifth means you flat the fifth note. So say you play and A5 power chord on fifth fret (577XXX). To play a diminished fifth you just move the fifth down one semitone to Eb (567XXX). You don't have to play the higher octave, just most people do.

Raise hell. twisted (Pun not intended.)

A sharp 4th. Like in the Lydian mode.

The diminished fifth chord used to be believed to summon the devil.
It's a power chord with a fifth that's one semitone lower than usual.
Some examples look like:

e|-----------8
B|--------6--7
G|-----2--4--5
D|--7--1--3---
A|--6--0------
E|--5---------

lol okay well when i first started playing, the teacher i had (for my first month) said that one of Jimi Hendrix's songs start out with two notes that said were used for witchcraft. Not like a chord, but just two little notes, separately. It was kinda like this:

D:------6---------6---
A:---------------------
E:--4--------4--------

That's purple haze. The guitar/bass aren't doing Diablo en musica individually, but the notes they play together are. The bass plays E in octaves and the guitar plays Bb.

The Rennaissance/Medieval churches banned all diminished 5ths from any church music because they thought it was evil.
Silly Christians
