Profoundly grateful for this tutorial Sandra. Not into jazz but wanted to expand my theory knowledge. Arguably the best, easy - to follow lesson on the Diminished scale which was always enshrouded in mystery to me, until I trolled upon your tutorial. Other lessons just confused me, entrenching the notion that these scales are for the gifted musicians. Absolutely easy to follow. Will help me get out of my guitar rut of so-called normal scales.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thai makes me really happy! I like that you don't shy away from different styles. I myself learned a lot from Funk, Hard Rock and w wn somw country (while Country is really not my thing).

Thanks sandra! 😊 I'm playing my guitar right now actually. But I'm trying to figure out "video killed the radio 🌟 star " it's one of my allbtime favourite songs from my youth as well as "message in the bottle" the Police I love ❤ Stewart Copelands guitar playing when I was a teenager 😀 thank you you really are the cats whiskers!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Wasn't Stewart the drummer?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Andy Summers played the guitar.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Message in abottle is a really cool song! Andy Summers used add9 chords all the time. Pretty hard to fret though.

[@Zawmpuia]

Can you make chord substitution please

[@KariSbjornKarason]

Fantastic lesson 👍

[@mikekennedy5785]

Fantastic lesson !!! Thank you. I always rely on just the arpeggio, but this takes it to another level of beauty !!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad it's helpful 😊

[@jzgtr100]

Same here. I use the idea of using the arpeggio on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and b9 of dominant 7 chords and run between these tones chromatically, also. It gives me great freedom, especially on minor 2-5-1s, but was really missing the beauty of the diminished scale ideas, using the connecting notes. Part of my problem was using the 5th and 6th strings. Hard to come up with an economical and memorable fingering pattern. Nicely lies on the top four strings and gives me a sound that has been missing from my soloing.

[@ulfsvensson9710]

[@markblack7766]

Sandra 🔥🔥🔥👍🎵🎶🎼🎵🎩♠♦♣♥

[@Troy1g]

Sandra, I am still somewhat confused when you introduce the pattern, the pattern demonstrates the consistency of half step, the whole steps for the strings starting on the pinky on the D string, Do you apply the same sequence for the low E A strings? I am referring to your first example, starting with your pinky. Thank you!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

No, this works only from D string to high e-string, so the highest 4 strings. Below that it gets vusually asymmetrical. Tonaly the scale will always be symmetrical though. It's just a visual thing.

[@giancarlogreco7807]

the best teacher ever

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Aaawh, thanks so much! ❤️

[@terpentoon]

Dear Sandra, Which Realbook standard would you advice to apply these motives ? (The simplest)

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Latin standards (Bossa Nova) have plenty of diminished chords, that function as passing chords. Like "Once I Loved", Corcovado, Wave. But you can use the diminished concept over altered chords too. To know which diminished fits over which alt chord, please check out my video "Dimnished over Dominant chords".

[@terpentoon]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Danke dir herzlich. Bossa Nova ist mein Lieblingsgenre. :)

[@barrysebastian9584]

I just love your insights and explanations, Sandra!! Well done👏! You really provide some useful info and applications here. I sometimes feel I over use dim lines, but they do add a nice color!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Diminished arps often are a life saver for me 😊

[@oneeyemonster3262]

The trick is you could stack MAJOR, min, DOMINANT or dim chords every b3 intervals too...if you use the FULL dim H/W. It just depends how you want to learn it...or build on what you already know. Harmonic min b5 and Melodic min b5 = full dim W/H dor b2, #4 and lyd b2, b7 = full dim H/W 2, 4, b6, 7 chord degree...No matter if you count from TONIC or relative if you use C harmonic MAJOR = D, F, Ab. B ................A harmonic min = B, D, F, G# in a Nutshell.....G7.....Bb.......Db......E7 ( Bb and Db are N6 chords) Some people call them tritone SUBS. But you could also vamp it over the TONIC or relative minor. The magic is when you apply playing minor chords every b3 intervals From F MAJOR/Dmin D min Ab min B min F dim A7 into D min Eb maj7 A min Gb min C7 into F Maj Bb min G7 C# dim C7 into F

Hallo, Du hast ja gesagt, dass du aus Österreich bist. Wo genau kommst du her, Wien? Ich habe nämlich ein paar Fragen, kennst du oder gibst du Workshops zu deinen Inhalten? Hast du einen Tipp wo man eine gute Gypsy Jazz Gitarre erwerben kann? :) Vielen Dank im Voraus. LG Lukas aus Steyr

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Ich bin aus Wien. Meine Gypsygitarre hab ich mir bei Jürgen Volkert in Nürnberg machen lassen. Fie Stangengitarren hatten alle so dicke Hälse, dass sie für mich unspielbar waren. Ich gebe keine Worjshops im Moment. Aber der Diknu Schneeberger gibt regelmäßig welche.
