An easy way to learn the diminished scale

[Mark G]

I’ve been obsessed with this lately – especially how Robin Ford uses it. This lesson shows how simple the scale actually is.

Nice video, thanks Mark.
I was aware of the relation of the half-whole diminished scale to the dominant 7b9 but I haven’t seen it related to the chord in this way before. It’s so much easier to see scales around chord shapes.

Thx – to me the flat nine is the key tension note here. Its 1 semitone away from the 5th degree of the 4 chord.

That’s pretty slick, thanks for sharing!
