Today we are going to learn how to use the diminished scale in a non diminished key.
The diminished arpeggio is a four note symmetrical arpeggio built on minor thirds and we are going to use it as the foundation for our diminished studies.
We will also use the minor natural scale as starting point because of being really close to the harmonic minor scale which contains a diminished arpeggio over its seventh degree.
The trick consists on playing minor natural and then adding the outside sounds of the diminished arpeggio.
As we know, all church modes are closely related. This means that we can apply the same concept to all the modes by using the root note of the diminished arpeggio as our "exit note".

For anyone interested behind the harmonic theory of this one. He is using one of three harmonic functions of the dimished (7 or not) chord. The "substitution" function. Because dim7 naturally resolves into the minor chord following it, it has a dominant function. This can also be done on the note one step above the dominant fifth of the major scale to resolve to the root therefore "substituting" for the fifth chord. For example: G#dim(7) wil be a dominant chord to C.

One of the best instructors on you tube.Explains everything in detail without all of the in between words.

You're the Man! Love your creative mind applied to pemuting the infinite possibilities of the fretboard.

@jansley13 4 года назад

You are a great teacher. Since I’ve subscribed to your channel I have started to understand the fret board a little bit more each time I do deep practicing. Love your approach to playing and teaching. Thank you 🙏

@bucketofnoises7810 3 года назад

Dear David, your lessons are pure musical gold. Thank you!

@WallyPeterson 6 лет назад

Love this, partly because I'v already been working on this exact thing for a while (trying to build speed/make it more natural), even in the same key. But I didn't know exactly what it was, so this explanation is very helpful. Also, I hope this is the beginning of more videos that cover similar "tricks".

@saskfarm 5 лет назад

Best guitar theory video I’ve seen on RU-vid in at least 6 months. Thanks. Can’t wait to try some new licks with the band.

@Thaiwithattitude 3 года назад

Thank you David, so easy to relates to you teaching. I’m a self taught and this is how I learn to reach outside of my normal playing. The more times I kept coming back to watch your videos the more I hear what you’re trying not to confuse guys like me. I’m grateful, thanks!

@bernardlaplante3743 6 лет назад

Absolutely awesome concept, can't wait to start using this idea tomorrow when I am jamming! Looking forward to the follow up on this.....

@rashollamanhollaman8101 2 года назад

Great lesson, playing along a backing track can also make the lesson more easy to follow for some of us who find it ease to follow when we hear the guitar following a backing track.

@markezov 2 года назад

This might be the single most useful guitar video I have ever seen. Great stuff. Thank you.

@graemelang111 6 лет назад

another superb lesson, great concept, really useful to apply either soloing live or just noodling in your room, cheers.

@aptelbruno8316 4 года назад

Again, theory is fabulous - it opens endless unexpected tracks ! Thank you so much David.

@the1khronohs40 5 лет назад

Yes! I love that scale, and now I know how to use it in my playing! In every mode!!! Thanks a bunch man! 😁👍💜

@anymusic24 3 года назад

this has brought new meaning to soloing ... this is one of the best vids i have seen on using diminished, i love dim chords but was a bit frightened to try and use in soloing. Now you have opened yet another door for me and i would like to thsnk you David. So thabkyou so much for this and all you do for musicians.. Oh just one more thing .. KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD.

@whiskyjack802 5 лет назад

By far the best teacher I have encountered. Thanx so much for sharing your knowledge;) You rock brother.

@provcityparks3278 6 лет назад

Thank you david your classes are super awesome. I started playing around with your diminished scale trick and by chance in the background there is a symphonic melody. Im trying to express how to say it....this little scale is like a magic trick that helps you zero in on which scale the chord progression is in but still sounds good because there is structure to it. In my creative brain, it feels almost like the diminished scale is like a "doorway" if you will. When you close it, you are back "inside" key.

@Kipperbob 6 лет назад

Cool concept, I really need to practice more guitar because I'm finding that that my understanding of the application of music theory on the instrument has improved greatly through watching listening and paying attention to your instruction, Thank you!

@guitarmemoir 6 лет назад

Have you ever been in a position when you get hit with the right info at exactly the right time? This is that for me. Perfect timing and many thanks for saving me hours of work. Knowing what note to use as a springboard into the arpeggio is pure gold. I know what I am working on for the foreseeable future. You have a way of communicating things in a way that I can grasp easily. That sheet you offer where you colour in the notes of the modes, is great on a 1/2 a dozen levels. Very useful tool. Thx for that too.

Wow, almost New Year's 2024 here and you became my brand new favorite just by this video. I had to break out my harmonic minor spell book and I saw right there what I wrote. The 7th mode IS diminished! Not exactly whole half all the way, but totally a diminish sound very full like. That linked it all together for me, bud. Teacher to teacher, that is what we call the stuff. 😄👊

@miskatonicuniversityavclub202 3 года назад

visit the sites of these 2 guitar companies and prepare to be blown away, skervesen and aristides (bonus 3rd ethereal guitars all made of various metals, as is aristides but thats a proprietary alloy called arium i think. its unique and they are beautiful) skervy is my favorite of the 3 but i want an aristides 808s bad

@ivonsmith3095 6 лет назад

This is super cool weaving of the DimArp David into modes! Nice; thank you! I recall the 1982 album Passion Grace & Fire, with Mclaughlin, Paco & Al di Meola: Al used that DimArp all the time but I never got the weaving part of it into the minor/modal context:

@owencraddock7609 5 лет назад

This is great stuff. Describing the diminished ladder as an 'exit' or 'get out' (I also like 'portal') really makes this concept easy(er) to understand. I do have questions though: Where can the 'exit' lead to? What other destinations do the 'portals' take us? I think exploring this would make for a fun follow-up.

@Paulskirocks 2 года назад

@omarpervaiz 3 года назад

Thanks David! Been looking for this for ages. Even hounded a few jazz head friends. Your explanation was by far the best and most practical. Just wondering if there's an exit note or exit point that would work with either whole half or half whole diminished scales? Most likely with more outside notes. Just wondering what your thoughts are on that. My gratitude for this really useful video. Shukria.

@James-jd7ik 7 месяцев назад

Great lesson David ! Other teachers claim this is the “Robben Ford” Trick, which apparently he combines Diminished Arpeggios with Dominant chords ! that may be the case for ‘Astrophysicists’ and ‘Rocket Scientists’……….but for us intermediate guitarists yours is a brilliantly simple method of “showing us” how the ‘Harmonic minor scale’ contains the Diminished arpeggio. Telling us that each of the ‘Modes’ has a single trigger note into the Diminished is brilliant ! Now my playing can go beyond the Pentatonic scales. Thank you.

@davidlegalley1161 2 года назад

@davidgworshipmusic 5 лет назад

Great video! I really like your “out of the box” improving!! I would like to learn more about the modes but every time I try the lessons I find online/vids and RU-vid are so boring and difficult to follow. Can or do already have a video go over the church modes? Also, I’ve never heard them called “church” modes before... but that’s cool!

Great Master, and superior information about modes and the dimish chords for this scale that many players enjoy, but we assume that only goes for E m and some flamenco shapes with the A armonic minor, thanks so much.

@seanhayes6097 4 года назад

This seems to me an extremely useful scale, It was the one scale I was looking for as it can fit many places you wouldn't have realised. Diminished chords sound to my ear a mish mash of minor 7th

@Charlie22880 Год назад

Yeah Nice Job David… all the best…!!

@paulwhittakermusic 5 лет назад

Hi David - great channel! I use a very similar approach, but stack the minor 3rds in string pairs, so the g sharp and b would be on strings 6 and 5, and the d and f on strings 5 and 4 etc. A cool twist to this is to play g sharp, and b, then slide into the d from the c sharp, then f, then slide into the g sharp from the g etc etc. This takes out most of the uncomfortable stretches, and adds some cool approach tones. I think Django does a similar thing, probably to to reduce the minor 3rd stretch to 2 frets on adjacent strings rather than 3 frets on one string. I think it's also worth pointing out that, when playing these arpeggios descending, it's dead easy to think of the 9th as your access tone. Also, as well as outlining A harmonic minor, you could regard it as outlining an E7 flat 9 arpeggio (etc!) Keep up the good work - there's an awful lot of very poor tuition on RU-vid, and it's great to see someone who can put the info over so well!
