After decades of playing I finally committed to learning theory a year ago, and understanding the use of the diminished scale is next up on the to-do list. Many thanks for your clear lesson, it definitely helped turn on a light bulb for me.
Amazing lesson again Robert. I've learned with you in 1 month than in 2 years of self-study.
Pure gold! Love it. Thank you so much for posting.
Very helpful as usual. Can't get much better than this..
Great lesson! I learned something!
Great lesson again! Fantastic !

Finally!
Great lesson Thanks
Wow thank you for a great lesson
Awesome!! Thank you so much, sir!
... good teacher indeed.
Greetings from Belgrade , Serbia & thank you vrey much :)
Nice lesson.
Great tip...
Excelente, muchas gracias
and again, insanely usefull!
Robert, I love the videos and really appreciate how much you share for FREE! My big challenge is improvising over a series of chord changes and making it sound connected, flowing and cool rather than like a series of unconnected chord arpeggios and unrelated scales. I'd love to hear your take on that since you're able to do that so well. Thanks.
look for common tones in the chords. maybe?
The major 6 and b5 on the final lick gives you an implied diminished sound which goes perfectly with the diminished lick before it. 🕶
great lesson…
Yes.....Hot Stuff......thank you for your time on this ....very helpful....Ron
Excellent teacher!!! . Most tutoriales about the diminished scale can be very confusing. Thi is clearer than water, it shows that you really want the students to benefit from your lessons. thanks a lot!!!
Thank you!
Min chord whole step start. Dom 7 chord start with a half step. Always start from half step above root whatever pattern you're going to apply.
hey there, so if I play in C I should start with Csharp?
Good stuff very good
Utmärkt handledning Robert! Can you please show us how to use Harmonic Minor in Blues? Tack!
Good lesaon, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great lessons Robert! Looking forward to the 113 voicings course. Question .... Any tips on playing 'out' over a regular major chord where I'd typically just use either major scale or Ionian mode. Thanks!
Beeastman123 Lots of options... Lydian can sound great over major chords.
let me see if i understood. over E7 i use E diminished scale right?? and over Em i use G diminished scale right? thanks robert
Robert...how do you use the Altered Dominant/ Lydian Dominant in 12 bar blues? Thanks
I saw in another video you did that you use whole-half diminished over minor chords, so I guess that means I could also use "whole-half" over a dominant chord in a blues where playIng minor licks over major is ok? perhaps using half-whole just before going to the IV. Thanks for the videos!
+Evens Lamarre use whole-half over minor chords, and half-whole over dominant chords.
So they give the effect of sliding into a chord? So you are utilizing the notes that need to be resolved
Hi Robertthanks for this great lesson ! I have a question: Assume you want to solo over a A7 chord; then some of the options you have are the following: A-major pentatonic, Am-pentatonic, A-mixolydian mode and the diminished scale (as nicely explained in this video). Is there any guidance you can give of how to combine them wisely ? Should I use in one song the mixo-scale while in another one song the major-pentatonic perhaps or should one try to incorporate all of these scales within a single solo in the same song?many thanksalex
+AlexL L You should use what sounds good. Probably not the answer you are looking for, but the truth is just that. Trust your ears, play the scales that fit the chords, and make melodies. As you get the scales into your head and fingers long term, you can easier improvise and create melodies. It just takes time.
Hi Robert I just wanted to see if there are any other diminished scale uses like maybe using it to get to the 5 chord or to get from the 4 chord back to the one or do people even do that ?
Yeah there's quite a few cool things you can do with it. I'll consider this topic for a future lesson.
Great Lesson!!
Can diminished scale use in Blues which start from whole step from the root?
+黃振頡 that works on minor chords.
thanks!!!!
Hello Robert
I must say that i really like your approach to the Diminished. I do, however have a reflection on your "Hybrid" scale approach.
Maybe you can enlighten me on my poor understanding.
You say that you have a dorian approach in lick 3. And this makes of course sence. An other way of looking at this is to say that you are combining Major and Minor pentatonics. (I think this computes to the same thing.)
Sure.
5:11 good tip.
Tab???????? Thank you!
Thanks Robert! The diminished scale doesn't seem so intimidating any more. Can you cover some more uses? Like using it over minor chords or non-blues chords?
upstatetrio3 I'll see what I can do.
I don't think the A chord is the 4th in the key of D.
+Robert Wampler It's not - the D chord is the 4th chord in the key of A.
To those who gave a thumbs down, show a better example
this is terrible
