Your long-form videos are the best ear training lessons for guitarists that I’ve found. My student’s ability to hear the subtlety between related diminished scales and intervals in general after spending time with your channel have been greatly improved. And so is mine!
You are so very good. Thank you for sharing all the great playing, artistry and information/wisdom. Other than with your own band or solo I'd love to hear you playing with someone like Joscho Stephan. Hope all's going well.
Dude went back again. The description on the major 7th is so helpful. Chasing where the bb7 becomes a major 7 through each voicing is SO helpful! Anyone can hear it and play it but when you really learn whatever happening you can transpose it!
I really enjoy your videos. I often have to stop and play back what you said, just to process the information. But it is a wealth of info. I'm a rock player, and your insights really expand my own playing. Thanks so much for your playing and teaching.
Jeez Robie how are you this good lol. Man Im always excited when i see an alert for your videos because i know its going to teach me something unique and challenging. Thanks for being a great teacher as well as a great player
Thanks so much mate. I get more out of any 5minute chunk of your videos than I would in hours of other videos. Particularly love you letting us in to applications, not letting a scale just be a mindless set of stairs for us to walk up and down aimlessly! You give great depth and background and no waffle. Love it. Thanks heaps for your time doing this
Ya I always struggled decending and you are the first person to address this and how to navigate ...the major voicing is really cool ...just bumped up everybody's playing instantly ...cheers
I've been meaning to really dig into this scale, it has such an interesting sound. Thanks so much for this! Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites
I get the feeling (partially enhanced by those lights framing the TV with the diabolical picture) of watching Paganini -- who was thought of as having made a deal with the Devil -- explain intricacies of guitar harmonies. Your mastery is evident. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
JTC guys, comon you need to get a masterclass with this beast of a player! damn! so much to learn from you Robbie. There is an improv course on coursera by Gary Burton, he talked about this as well. I really liked the deep dive that you offered here.
Thanks for thisis great content ! There is a year worth of i studying in here...I have been coming back to this on a monthly basis and only now do I understand all of the theory it imies and Sometimes I just love to hear and intellectualize how the intervals chaange symmetrically in relation to each other. giving unique voicings and harmonic possibilities. ImYou could apply this scale to giant steps andghet some pretty outside sounding voicings. Great job
It's amazing that you've reached 66k subscribers with only 10 videos! Congratulations man! The videos are awesome and the content is great! Keep doing it! Cheers from Brazil!
Your „Purple Haze“ Solo is the best Guitarsolo I have ever heard. It took me to another level of consciousness. Thank you for this incredible huge inspiration. All the best for you and greetings from Germany.
Amazing how you have a channel with only 10 total videos, yet they’re so densely packed with great information, I’m quite confident I can completely learn jazz guitar from it
I'd love to see you make a video on building speed and your specific alternate picking technique. Some of the first few lines and patterns really trip me up. The up/down ascending (or the descending) one is especially tricky! Just thought I'd throw it out there, because I see you play a difficult run probably faster than I can play any ol' easy run and then when I try it, I'm like "wait, I don't think I've ever even played a line with this particular picking pattern before!" and I move as slow as a newborn on it.
I just found your channel and I already love it. I'm gonna use so much time here, thank you for being so good at explaining things, it really makes sense! Keep it up :P
Scapegoat blues…a good example. Great lesson. I wish I was able to apply all this information. I find symmetrical scales the most difficult to keep track of intervals and functionality.
Well that’s the thing with symmetrical scales: they elude functional harmony. By their very structure, tonality is not something that’s automatically provided, but is something you have to actively highlight. Moreover, you can decide to highlight multiple tonal centers if need be!
Remember: you don’t have to have superhuman chops and what appears to be photographic musical memory like young robbie, here, to incorporate a few of these killer diminished hacks into your playing! Astonishingly good video on all fronts: presentation, production and playing. Omg the fucking playing! Lol
Robbie....I mean, how do you come up with this stuff?! Someone else wrote that their brain hurts, and I agree, but we are just trying to keep up with your thought processes. You think these concepts through, explain things so well, and then your demonstrations are completely inspiring. Thank you for the incredible content and information, helping me to understand something I've never really got down. Best to you in 2023!
Every time you post a video you totally crush my aching brain, but what I really want is to hear you play music! Please consider playing some of those standards all the way through. And also consider writing some music of your own. I believe you have the knowledge and skill to take us someplace very new.
I've never heard of you.. but after hearing that tone I clicked the subscribe button inside of the first 30 seconds LOL. Looking forward to checking out your other content.
You are very passionate about the art of playing the guitar and for one that's very obvious as you explain these skills demonstrate all on the same level of high quality. I'm glad I decided to watch your videos no doubt you are a diamond in the youtube ocean. Thanks keep it up
Yeah, I didn't know that. Lol. I mean, I knew all the stuff I needed to know to know what we're talking about, but well versed....nope. I'd love to see the class of people that are all well versed in that kind of stuff. I'd like to hang out. This is like a reference book video that I'll need to refer back to over the next few years or something. I love overviews though. Most people spend all the time zoomed in and never give it in full context in 1 flowing idea. I like that part of this video.
Great video, theoretically top drawer, but anyone looking for an introduction to this subject will (probably) be lost within 6 minutes of this. This video isn’t for the beginner, search elsewhere if you are just getting into this. If you want to deepen an already fundamental knowledge then this is brilliant. Personally I had to stop 10mins into this and really get to grips with everything that had already been said here.
That's as jazzy as it gets! Every note sounds wrong, but they all also sound right! I've never come across this scale before, but will see if I can apply it anywhere.
Waauw, amazing skills. I should follow your channel, I should become a patreon, ...but honoustly, this video alone is going to keep me busy for a full year or more. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge crystally clear!
Hey Robbie, Do you recommend we need an understanding of your Barry Harris video before this one? Love your videos btw - Thank you for making them. You can really tell how much time and effort you put into them.
Wow! Very interesting! So every note of a diminished chord can become an inversion of a diminished major 7th by moving a whole step up and an inversion of a dominant by moving a half step down...This got me wondering if the augmented chord hides some secrets like this one,since it is also symmetrical.As things are going I guess it probably does... Please do keep these lessons up Mr. Barnaby.Thanks:)
Thanks for watching! That's a great idea, I definitely plan on sharing lots of material for the Melodic Minor parent scale as it's an essential one. Thanks again!
I swear the universe truly does listen if you “will it.” Early this week I’ve been wanting to learn more about the diminished scale and apply it into my playing. You’re a legend Robbie. Thank you.
Googles using the microphone on your device to track things you say and use it to improve suggestions. I've tested this for a number of months, with permissions granted and not granted, and no matter what I do, things I say appear in my suggestions.
@@skobywankenobi I agree with you. It’s not the first time that’s happened. I often think out-loud (euphemism for talking to myself), and I recall saying that out loud
the amount of musical knowledge and theory you packed into this lesson has left me staggering.....i hope i will recover and be able to use SOME of it.....
I literally just started working on diminished licks to move between chords in a 12 bar blues and then you post this. *You're a legend* from one of your happy patreon subscribers.
Still in recovery from the Barry Harris video :) It will take ages to digest, retain and finally actually use this stuff (No genius here) Sounds great Well done - thanks a million!
This lesson is absolutely fantastic! Lots of content explained in a useful and precise way. I'll probably be rewatching this for months until I soak it all in.
Diminished is a good study. Diminished , altered Dim and loc Dim are the main 3 but there are other "modal" Diminished. 4 in harmonic minor 4 in harmonic major 4 in hungarian major 4 in Romainian major Loc6, dor#4, lyd#2, altbb7 Dorb5, lydb3, lydaug#9, locbb7 Lyd dom#9, altbb6bb7, alt6, dor b2#4 Lyd aug#9#3, aeolb5bb7, Mel minb5, lyd augb3 (lyd dim aug) With the 2 modes of octatonic diminished that's all of them from what I remember. There always more though but these are the most useful from the most common parent scales. 18 all together.
‼️WOW‼️Way over my head. I understand and assimilate all concepts conveyed. Your edit continuity reveals a thoughtful, planned presentation. Concise spoken terminology captures attention. My skills will develop and advance swiftly through your method. Thank You 🙏🏼 🤙🏼🔐🔓🎸🎼

Beautiful ES-335!!!
Es 345?
If Tomo sensei is watching this video..you doin it right , hahahah .But was it a 345 rather than 335 , with that varitone??
@@EumirBethbeder Yes..its a 345 as indicated by the split block inlays.

The world needs more music teachers like you. Thank you.
I c0mpletely agree!!!
I can say this is the kind of not-for-beginners in-depth tutorial I have been waiting for for years. Thank you for this. It's amazing
Four four?
You are utterly, ridiculously, and completely stupendously brilliant.
one of THE BEST videos about this subject matter. my gosh your chops are sweeeeeet dude. you are a good teacher!
What a behemoth of a video... Robbie you're killin' it

Это просто шикарное видео по вопросу уменьшенных ладов! Спасибо большое за такую колоссальную работу! 🔥
Thanks Robbie, there is so much to learn from your videos, really happy that your channel is blowing up...
World class quality here. Congrats Robbie!!
Wasn't expecting half whole Purple Haze lmao
That first solo is Killer!👏
Your improvisation is DISGUSTINGLY good!
I've been meaning to really dig into this scale, it has such an interesting sound. Thanks so much for this! Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites
Thank you for posting. You have superb tone and execution. My training wheels come off stright away...

Fantastic work Robbie, we are loving this.
Thanks a lot!
Robby you’ve handed a part of my brain to me that has been waiting for all of this. Thank You!!!
Absolutely fantastic video! Just wow!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
So good man, I unknowingly was confusing dominant and diminished harmonies, this totally helps. Thanks for sharing!
The best my friend always make it slowly in the beggining so that i can catch up easily. Thanks again.
You are next level my friend!

Its a bit hard to grap all that in one shot but I learned something new today. Lot of work still ahead. Thanks
Thanks a lot!
out of millions of videos on youtube this is a treasure. a year of work packed in 40 minuets. thank you so very much.
You're very welcome! Thanks for the kind words
One year? That's 40 years of finger numbing repetition into 40 minutes Mr. Taltool
Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.

Have you heard Jimmy hearings playing? I’ve been transcribing him a bunch.This sounds exactly what he’s doing.
I’ve been watching music tutorials since TH-cam came out, and this was one of the best in any genre I’ve seen. Subbed 🥰

Good God Robbie, at minute 14:14 is the first time I've ever heard what I would call a "Bebop, Trip-hop, Samba" Nice. :-)
Thank you again !!! Love your channel
Mike Stern use is this I can hear it. I think Miles had all his musicians try to play that scale at one time
