Diminished Scale Lick

[Robert]

Here is a diminished scale lick that I think sounds cool. I will post the Guitar Pro file on the weekend.

The chord over which I am playing this idea is A13b9. Any inversion of the Diminished chord (in any key related) would work.

I used my new Macbook Pro with iMovie to create this.

Robert,

That sounds great. It's very angular and outside in terms of the notes but it still sounds fluid. Cool!

Great Video, at this point it is outside my range but does open up a whole world of new possibilities.

Thanks guys. I know it's not the simplest lick in the world, but hopefully it can lead to new ideas. The fingering can get messy with this scale, since the design is whole-step, half-step forever. Symmetrical. The way the B string is tuned on a guitar screws up the symmetry somewhat.

Cool! Very different and melodic in that different way. You come up with some very interesting stuff!

I'm stealing that lick!

How do you like your macbook? I am planning on getting on inthe next month or so and I am hoping it will make the video lessons and other music stuff a little easier...

One word Mark: Fabulous!

Glad you liked that lick.
