In this video I'm taking a look at how the mighty Robben Ford 🐐 uses the diminished scale in the humble 12 bar blues for some cool outside sounds. He's an absolute genius when it comes to phrasing and note choice, and has a seemingly endless reservoir of ideas. I've broken down a few of his diminished concepts, as well as how he thinks about the harmony and chords to help you navigate the jazzier side of the blues. (Gear used in video down below)

This lesson is exactly what I need when I needed it. I've been practicing 2 octave Dominant seventh arpeggios in 5 positions. I've seen Robben demonstrate his diminished licks on YT, but your method will really help me. I've been playing for 55 years and there's so much still to learn.

Wow...all kinds of things happened for me with this lesson, Steve. I have always struggled with getting a good outside sound like this. I transcribed and it would always surprise me how few notes were actually "outside." These tips allow me to sprinkle in just the right amount, and the right stuff on the right chord. The part about just adding the blues note and the maj 6th was an opener. A few passes on your track and I was like "who the heck is playing this stuff?" Truly amazed. This will get several rewatches. Subscribed and going to watch your other stuff. Thank you!!!!!!! By the way, I had the pleasure of having Robben sit in and critique my playing during a pandemic workshop with Allen Hinds and Jon Herington (Steely Dan). He was very nice. I posted some of that on KZfaq.

Great video. I started guitar late and find memorizing scales impossible. I use the chord shapes to play the scales by adding the 2 4 6 and 7 to the basic 1 3 5. Your explanation of the use of diminished chord is a great foundation for visualising the playable notes without reference to scale shapes. Also Robben Fords explanation of the use of the harmonised scale shapes was the light bulb moment for me. Thanks your videos are definitely on my must see list.

@SteveAllsworth Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks so much - totally, it's really easy to get stuck 'inside the shape', so visualising the chord first is a great approach. I had a similar Eureka moment with Robben (but some 20 odd years ago!) Thanks for watching 😄
