Very talented young man! Thank you for this lesson!

[@WeissGuitar]

My pleasure! Thanks for being here again Michael :))

[@JeffCloutier]

Great 5akw on the diminished scale. Quite inspirational. I would call that an em b6, I get that it's also a Cmaj7 third inversion minus the root.

[@nickschuller9861]

Awesome! These lessons showing different concepts in key of C is gold.

[@WeissGuitar]

Yes! Thanks for your comments Nick, very happy you enjoy the lessons.

[@josemolina959]

Tremendous teacher! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Wow, thanks Jose, I really appreciate your comments! Keep in touch.

I was using a lot of diminished scale stuff, then later was using more melodic minor/altered scale stuff, such that I couldn't quickly switch between them, but later I was trying a 4 notes per string alternated with a 3 notes per string fingering for the melodic minor, and realised if I did all 4 notes, or all 3 notes, on each string, no alternating, I could play a diminished scale or whole note scale, and because the fingerings overlapped I could also flip it back to melodic minor. Because the decision only needed to be made when changing string, I could do hybrid lines, flipping between melodic minor, diminished and wholetone scales. I still use other fingerings which fit better with other lines, but I like the uncommitted aspect of the 3&4 notes per string pattern for switching between the 3 scales. It's also a visually simple concept, so easy to remember.

[@WeissGuitar]

Thats so cool! thanks so much for sharing!

[@WeissGuitar]

8:42 *typo its G7 b9,13 (not b9,b13) 🙂

I like your approach to sharing this.I found it easier to understand than other videos ive seen.It helps to show slowly first and start with the basics

[@WeissGuitar]

Thank you 🙏

[@SIVA6619]

You're the best unknown guitarist I've heard !

[@WeissGuitar]

Haha, Thanks Siva

[@suzijames2]

A really excellent and important lesson, Daniel. Thank you. It really pulls together a lot of my scraps of knowledge into a well-structured approach. Turning scales into creative solos is within reach - with a LOT of practice 😄

[@WeissGuitar]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Suzi! Great to hear from you 🙋🏻‍♂️🎸

[@mijiencke]

I use this Dimished scale but i love what this is doing to my application of it! and the other places you are taking it. thank you

[@roadwork8941]

Nice!

[@WeissGuitar]

[@Slalomem_12]

this is I think first lesson that have made this scale clear to me and in a quite way intuitive . Also, it is nice noticing in your playing how much is really prasing and good right hand articulation a big thing to make something sound good. Great work man

[@WeissGuitar]

So happy to hear that Aleksander! And now you just gave a great topic for another video, The super important subject of Articulation !

[@cazziebb1707]

Cmaj7

[@WeissGuitar]

Yes, That's a good chord to resolve this into :)

[@erezgutwetter5293]

Geat lesson! Thank you Daniel. Can’t wait to start use this cool sound

[@WeissGuitar]

Thanks for the comments Erez, Enjoy these sounds ! Happy practice

[@markt6624]

Great Lesson!

[@WeissGuitar]

Thanks Mark :)

[@mybiggrin]

Yessssss! One critique. You should correct your accidentals if they change in the next bar... like if a note should be natural etc. Anyway, great lesson. I'm getting on it.

[@mijiencke]

assumed the accidentals intentionally reflected the actual key of the derived chords in play

[@yisraelnagar1191]

Great lesson, great playing as usual!

[@bitcoinman9202]

man I love these sounds.. the one thing about classic Jazz though is making chaos feel orderly by resolution... often times I sort of wish there was just chaos with no resolution.. this is why I like weather report..

[@WeissGuitar]

Hey, thanks for being here and commenting - Regarding the non-result thingy, have you checked this out? ua-cam.com/video/iPDzlSda8P8/v-deo.html

[@bitcoinman9202]

@@WeissGuitar very nice. What do you think about music like Weather Report?

[@mijiencke]

noticed tonight in this awesome lesson, that at 4:45 tab notes at 10-7-9 on 1st string were played 1/2 step lower i think at 9-6-7 (outside the scale actually). if I have it right. mystery chord is a beautiful Cma7 I think.

[@sebleb3133]

Très interessant dans la manière de construire des phrases. Mais ne s’agit il pas de la gamme semi -diminuée que l’on joue sur un accord de dominante ?

[@MikeJamesMusic]

Here's another scale that is really close to diminished. Look on the web for "Mike James Octatonic Altered Scale". There's full documentation plus a video.

[@WeissGuitar]

Thanks!!🙋🏻‍♂️

[@tnvalleyyoga7122]

I'm working on adding some jazz concepts into my blues playing and of course that study brings up the Diminished. There is one thing I've yet to understand: how do you what key you're playing in with the diminished scale? Thanks.

[@qmusic7640]

Chord at 4:52. I reckon that's a Cmaj7/E

[@bjarnesegaard5701]

E-C-G-B-E ; I would say a C maj7 with E in the bass

[@jimdolinski8655]

Daniel, I would be curious if you could remember what song or lick got you first interested in this scale? Great explanation and examples. The info about building a diminished major seventh arpeggio is a game changer.

[@WeissGuitar]

Hey Jim, hmm I think it's holdworth and coltrane.
It's hard for me say retrospectively, but I'll think of a couple of examples for you.
Regarding Dim.maj yes ! it is a game changer !

Do you mention what chords you can use these over?

Hi :-) where ?

[@charlietaylor8813]

Cmaj7/E

[@j.r.goldman3279]

Was that Venice Beach In the back ground?

[@WeissGuitar]

TLV :)

[@anthonyshaw8698]

Humm🤔
So, is it Bdim, or Gdim, that resolves to Cmaj7.
You have B diminish on your chart, but your example line is from G diminish. The line is not resolving to Cmaj7. Or, maybe I'm missing something.
HELP PLZ!!😂🤗
P.s.
I think I understand now. You're playing primarily a G altered scale, with an added B dim triad.
I thought you were playing a G diminish scale, and it wasn't resolving to Cmaj7 according to my ear. Or maybe I'm wrong/confused.
Lol
😆

[@WeissGuitar]

Hello, you guys! Cheers

[@PopovSB]

8:00 you need to swap the first two notes in the second measure

When the droning chord at 1:29 came up in the background, I thought something really bad is gonna happen soon

[@WeissGuitar]

😂

[@Maysha6bona]

4:50 Am I late to the party? That chord looks like a Cmaj7 1st inversion in drop 3. Right?

[@WeissGuitar]

Yes :)

What pick do you used my friend?

Badazz III 3.2
