The diminished scale is most often applied in classical music and jazz, but you'll hear it in film scores and occasionally in popular music. When you're bored of your own playing, learning some diminished scale guitar patterns on the fretboard can help you break out of ruts and sound more interesting, modern, or experimental. In this video, I'm going to show you exactly how to start working on the five diminished scale guitar shapes, as well as the next steps you can take to apply them on the guitar at an advanced level.
