    I'm a guitarist and this really opened up a whole new way of looking at diminished scales. We tend to be "patterny" as guitarists. I never "saw" those 4 major and minor triads.

    Adam thank you so much! This is a revelation. You decrypted the functional beauty of the diminished scale for me. What a gem this video is! What a treasure trove your channel is. Many thanks and love to you guys :)

    I love the idea of learning scales in their context of resolving to something, instead of just scales by themselves.

    This is awesome. Guitarist here, this channel has offered me consistent new ways to hear and visualize chord patterns options and voice leading movement. Thanks so much.

    I absolutely LOVE when you break the fourth wall!
    You already know what the student is thinking or rather assuming you should do to apply this scale!

    Every time he said “so, all we have to do now is…”, I was like, “Yeah! That’s what I’m going to do!” And then, he would say, “No…that’s not what we want to do…” man, I’m a sucker.

    For someone like me who no longer plays jazz in a live setting but continues to listen and learn, this has been MIND BLOWING!!!🤯🤯 This is truly a jazz improv/theory gem! I’m getting out my 🎺 and getting back in the game with your channel for real!

    Definite missing gem with this one. Thankful for social content platforms and amazing teachers like this to help fast track debunking unsolved music mysteries. For veteran cats like me these fresh simple perspectives glue together years of fragmented and missing puzzle pieces.
    Thank you sir.

    As loath as I am to give up the secrets of Chromatic button accordion (you know, the non-piano right-hand that looks like a cash register), the brilliant thing about the layout is that those rows of buttons are the 3 diminished 7th arpeggios.
    So long story short, every one of these triad pairs, for all keys, can be done on CBA accordion using 4 triad shapes, simply sliding up and down the keyboard.
    The instrument almost seems to be created with this (not to mention most of Barry Harris’s teachings) in mind.
    And this video was a life saver for me because I was still restricting myself to the diminished scales, which , while still easy on CBA, aren’t nearly as musical as these.
    THANK YOU!

    As a guitarist, I had this scale under my fingers, but the way I used it sounded so contrived and obvious, like the whole tone scale. Thanks for opening these doors.

    Along with so many others, I want to thank you for this incredible information. I have never really understood how to use the diminished scale tones outside of a diminished (or 7b9) chord and what you teach here is so cool! Thank you, Adam!

  • @jaycielle
    @jaycielle 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Within 90 seconds, you both brought up & wonderfully explored a concept that so many people don't get - there's not two diminished scales, there's just one symmetrical-shape scale that adds context to the music that's there (technically 2 exist in 12TET A440 temperament, but the shape is always the same)
    People think of the dim scale like it's dissonant but it's more of a game-changer - nice major stuff becomes nightmare music, whereas the right dominant chord becomes heaven with I
    Every other scale becomes wildly different things when split into modes - do that with the dim scale and you just get the dim scale (same with whole tone btw)

  • @bassplayer9432

    Your channel is amazing. I love the way that you layout concepts that I’ve “known” about in refreshing(and familiar sounding) ways. I’ve been watching for about a week now, and I’ve encouraged my own students to explore it more deeply.
    Thank you for introducing me to Barry Harris. Somehow, I went to Jazz school and never heard his name. I’ve been delving into the video archives.
    Keep groovin’ ✌️

    As a country player that learned theory the hard way while playing and still building lots of finer details of theory, understanding how jazz theory is utilized is amazing for playing.
    I can't stand talk about dominants and substitutions and so on, I just want to know how to use intervals well and how those face melting bebop solos actually work over scales while sounding like they're being completely random.

  • @scottbaekeland9750
    @scottbaekeland9750 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    An interesting approach.Always like your videos. Another method is to not even think about the diminished scale at all and to just see it as (in this case) an F7 dominant scale with the scale degrees 1-b2-b3-3 #4-5-6-b7-8 . This way one can see how close it is to a blues type approach with a couple tweaks. A little off topic. I see many books talk about two diminished scales (1/2 step whole step or whole step 1/2 step) and it always seemed to me that it was easier to think of it as one scale starting on a different degree.

    • @tetraqartet6798
      @tetraqartet6798 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can justify the 2 notes of the diminuished scale which are not in blues scale (b2 and 6) just by considering 2blues pairs at the distance of a minor 3rd (i.e. A + C blues scales). Then you'll have your complete A or C diminuished scale

    • @scottbaekeland9750
      @scottbaekeland9750 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@tetraqartet6798 The 6 is part of many blues like 1-3-5-6-b7-6-5-3 . The b2 can be used in a displaced minor blues lick like this: 5-b7-8-b9(b2)-8-b7-5

  • @ryeguyify
    @ryeguyify 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    fantastic video! Wonder if you or any folks here have suggestions for effective ways of learning in all 12 keys. It seems to take me a long time to move into another key and repeat the ideas. Eventually I want to be able to just think in terms of where I am relative to the root, but I'm not sure if the snail's pace I go to figure these all out is worthwhile. A potential strategy: use a software like MuseScore to transcribe into different keys, then play them to get into muscle memory, later making more "intellectual sense" of what I'm doing. Grateful for any ideas. Maybe it is best to just do it the "hard way" that I mentioned, and perhaps write down what I played so that I can return to practicing new keys?

It's a great tune and I'd like to play it more often, but I seem to get in a rut. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work!
