Simply put, if your melody was notes c to d to e over a Cmaj (7th) chord, on the d note you basically play a Gdom7th (notes g b d f) but you change the g note in the chord to an g# note (semitone above g). That's now the diminished chord that works nicely over a Gdom7. You are then actually playing a a G7b9 chord with no root. Take a look at Barry Harris stuff. He changes the major scale by adding an extra note and calls it the 6th diminished scale. So, in C major, you have notes c d e f g g# a b. (g# being the added note).The idea is you play a chord of C6 on the notes c e g and a and the G# diminished chord on the other (in between) notes - the d f g# and b. So you end up with a scale of chords. You are really just alternating between a Cmaj and G7 chord but with a jazz flavour! It becomes a very deep subject!

This is great
Amazing lesson. Thank

Thanks! Very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
This is great! Thanks Jared! Why does the diminished chord work for the non-arpeggio note? Is there a theory behind this?

What about thumb technique?
Good question! I'll do a lesson on that in the future. Thanks! :) -Jared
Speak to much
Thanks for the feedback!
Buy the record. No speaking at all. No explanation either. Some of us who are learning find explanation helpful.
