Mr Carl, this may be the best understanding of diminished on the guitar that i have ever heard explained. It really unlocks things for me. Now, i need to get with the program and sign up for your courses. Thanks for teaching in a way that makes all this accessible.
4:42 OMG I love how even Carl (who is amazing!) has to stop and think about it for a while. Makes me feel a little better about myself stopping and thinking about it.
Also, there are major and minor triads that come out of the diminished scale that you can move around in minor thirds too. pretty cool and very useful.
But the coolest thing is that every one of those 4 dim7 chords can work as a substitution for dominant7 chord which means you can build 4 different (secondary) dominants that can lead to 4 diferent keys (5-1 movement). For example Bdim7 can work as rootless G7b9 (leading to the key of C) while Ddim7 (which is a new chord but also an inversion of Bdim7) as rootless Bb7b9 leading to the key of Eb. In other words every dim7 chord can modulate to a new key that is half-step up, so Bdim7 to C, Cdim7 to Db etc.

Useful lesson. Thank you mr. Carl. God Bless.
Maestro! Hope you are doing well Carl
Wow, that is amazing, the more I learn about music, the more I am fascinated by the theory, the Gratefull dead liked this kind of thing

and for some reason thinking 7b9 instead of dominant makes it sound less of a cliche...:)

Hi Carl, great lesson. love watching at the Baked Potato. I just purchase a CV Special from Lance. Any chance that you have any semi beginner courses?
Carl I have heard of a jazz method based on the diminished scale by Barry Harris. How does that fit in. Thanks for the lesson, very helpful!
Great video!
