MASTER The Symmetrical Diminished Scale (Whole Half & Half Whole)

Master the very sophisticated sound of the W/H & H/W Diminished! In this video, I share everything you need to know to unlock the Symmetrical Diminished scale so that you can start using it within your playing and adding it to your improvisational language. This Whole Half or Half Whole Diminished scale is often used as a way to play 'outside' in order to create tension within your lines, chord voicings, and harmonic movements. It's not only a sound used in Blues & Jazz but a sound found across all styles of music and different genres. I get into the deep theory of this modern scale and cover the functions/applications, triad ideas, generating chords, scale shapes for the guitar, and some of my favourite lines/patterns (+ lots more!). The examples in this video will give you all the knowledge to truly master this #diminishedscale so that you can call upon this sound whenever you want to bring out the #wholehalf or #halfwhole tension!
