All Major Guitar Chords and Arpeggios will have a natural (or Major) third and if the Guitar Chord or Arpeggios has a seventh scale degree, it will be a natural (or Major) seventh. This Category also includes harmonized scales in Major keys Minor guitar chords and arpeggios, plus harmonized scales built on Minor scales and modes. For example, Neither Pentatonic Major nor Hexatonic Major have seventh (VII) scale degree, but both have a natural third (aka a Major 3rd).

Half-Diminished Scale Guitar Fretboard Patterns > Guitar Neck Position Charts
The fourth family of Chord and Scale Qualities is Half-Diminished.
Half Diminished scales and chords have a flatted third scale degree, a flatted fifth scale degree, and and a flatted seventh scale degree.
They are designated by a circle with a line cutting it in half (Ø). Due to early issues with computer typesetting, it is often written out as "minor 7 flat 5" (e.g. AØ becomes A-7b5), which is technically incorrect as it identifies it as being part of the Minor family which it is not. But be prepared to see it written both ways!
There is no half-diminished triad, as it requires 4 notes (R b3 b5 b7) to construct.
