not working!
Cool lesson Brian
Maybe you can create a tab sheet showing the chords you demonstrated on the video so we could see them on a practice sheet to better memorize.
Great stuff as always
Thanks

Please create a tab sheet showing the chords you demonstrated on the video.
You say we need to listen to get used t The sound of the diminished. It would be nice if you could play the chords and let us jam and experiment with leads over the jam track. This way we can learn to highlight the 1,3, or 5 at the chord change.
Great short.
Concise, clear, and helpful. And, can’t recall another time when another one of my teachers, online or not, openly said, “I myself struggled with this. . .” This “micro” lesson is unfolding to be much more than a quick dip. And a confidence booster.
Great lesson! I was still working out the one with diminished arpeggios going from 5 to 1 chord. This expands that. This is no “micro” lesson! I still like to try to see all this as an altered dominant chord with a flat nine because I get lost if I think of a new root.
Some way to connect the chording structure to the tabs and soundslice would be great. I’ve found the video discussion so informative but I lose the connection when viewing the soundslice. Hope I’m making sense. Fascinating stuff and thanks for the reference to this micro lesson from the “current” full sized lesson.
I feel that if a person mastered this and truly understood what was happening a whole world of improvisation would open up.
Nice one…thank you Brian.
is the halfstep -wholestep scale the same as the diminished scale ?
thanks kai
..super late on the comment here but (1) starting to develop a sense for actually ‘hearing’ this scale and doing so in context and (2) and then learning it is all also moveable has been a huge addition for me here. Thanks again for an excellent topic and presentation.
Loving the micro lesson gone wild. Gonna take awhile to unpack the rhythm.
