That's an amazing lesson, Daniel! I can't thank you enough... THANK YOU!!

[@WeissGuitar]

I'm so happy for your comment, thanks so much

[@TheJimmyhawk]

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 🙏

[@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.

[@guitar9310]

I realllllly love the diminished major 7th chord it is so dope and so easy to grasp!

[@WeissGuitar]

❤🙏Thanks for being here my friend

[@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.

[@3158030Michael]

Very talented young man! Thank you for this lesson!

[@WeissGuitar]

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

[@DavorKajfesHR]

Great stuff, love the diminished b9 or dim scale, especially in Barry Harris progression.. The asking chord with open E and B string would be CM7add6.

[@SIVA6619]

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

[@WeissGuitar]

Haha, Thanks Siva

[@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.

[@marcobrocks1490]

How Great…Thank you for this amazing lesson….

[@WeissGuitar]

Thank you for your comment and kind words Marco, stay tuned

[@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

[@icarusi]

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!

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

[@nickfanzo]

You’re a great player . Thanks for the lessons

[@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 🙋🏻‍♂️🎸

[@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

[@erezgutwetter5293]

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

Thanks Eitan!!

[@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 ! Thanks for being here. Stay in touch

[@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..

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 ?

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.

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.

[@daybreakdaybreakl7767]

Insane lesson enjoyed every bit of it !!

[@WeissGuitar]

Thanks again for tuning in and leaving a comment - it means a lot :)

[@bjarnesegaard5701]

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

[@WeissGuitar]

yep :)

[@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 ! I go deeper into these sounds on 🎸 Diminished Licks and Workouts: weissguitar.com/course-gdlnw/ check it out.

[@kidpoker007]

Do you mention what chords you can use these over?

[@WeissGuitar]

Hi :-) where ?

[@PopovSB]

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

[@WeissGuitar]

Thanks! 🙏

[@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 😆

[@maxxblack1525]

I live in this scale.

[@WeissGuitar]

Thanks for being here :) just uploaded a new one I think you will enjoy. stay in touch

[@Maysha6bona]

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

[@WeissGuitar]

Yes :)

[@archinsoni1254]

The most addictive scale is harmonic Major

[@domidigital]

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

[@WeissGuitar]

😂

What pick do you used my friend?

Badazz III 3.2
