As a guitarist I got so much in 2 minutes that's enough for half a year in practice and growth. This is not clickbait. Thanks!

possibly the most content in 2 minutes of any youtube video ever...

What a great tutorial

Those broken triads sound so good and I can't believe I've never incorporated that into my vocabulary before. Thank you.

As a guitarist, I found this very intriguing!

As far as demonstrations go, this is up at the top.

hands down the best jazz tutorial video on youtube.

I had to transcribe everything out to truly get all of the nuggets that you put out here, and boy I'm happy i did. The diminished sound and your application of the triad pairs within it changed my playing. You have my thanks man. 🙏🏾

If only all tutorials were like this! Packed full of only the useful info, no fluff, no bs, no 'look at me, I can play at 180bpm with my eyes closed' stuff, just gives me what I need to know, why I need to know it and how to use it. Awesome.

If he says the blues scale I'm gonna flip ... aight cool

I was not expecting the Half-Step Whole-Step Scale at all! Thanks !!! I love that devious sounding diminished stuff!

These 2 minute lessons are priceless. Thank you.

My God, these 2 minutes really are enough to demonstrate something super useful.

An instructor on KZfaq that´s actually a good player. Not that you have to be to teach, but it´s inspiring to hear how it can sound if played well.

Ok, that was sick. One of the most useful vids for jazz beginners I came across. And it only took him 2 minutes!

The best part is you only need to learn 3 scales in order to cover all diminished scales. (C, C#, D) The key to finding the major chords in every scale is by going up in thirds.

We youtubers need more tutorials like this: what Peter teaches sounds the same as what he plays. Something out of the ordinary. And right to the point!

This applies to everyone, great teacher Peter!

I instantly loved this channel after watching this. Just what I needed.

Those broken triads running through inversions were a major lightbulb moment. Thank you!

Beast of a player! I never realized that there were three major chords contained within the dominant diminished scale. Thanks Peter!

Very useful! I always loved this idea and try to preach it to my metal friends who just spam a diminished 7th arpeggio up and down the neck in the same exact way the shredders have been doing since the 80s. I always try to present the facts highlighted in this video: the available triads and harmonies of the diminished scale extend far beyond just "a diminished 7th repeating up every minor third." Thanks again.

It might be worth mentioning that for C7 alt you are actually using the Db diminished scale. A diminished scale actually starts with a whole step

This is like the best tutorial i’ve ever seen.

VERY NICE....whole tone scale sounds sooo good with that too!!

Love the broken triad concept. Thanks Peter, you are an enthusiastic and energetic teacher.

Mr Martin, really enjoying your lessons, great ideas, to the point, fantastically demonstrated and very clearly communicated. Thank you very much

Incredible class! Thank you so much for doing this.

Wonderful work you're doing Peter thanks for keeping up the modern outlook on jazz harmony

My dog and cat started howling while I listened to this video. That was a lot of information for 2 minutes. I'm a Nooby so I have no idea what a Diminished scale is, but now I have motivation to practice it. Merci beaucoup.

Thank you! So fun and sounds cool when you show the patterns of chords. 🤩

Brilliant playing. Sounded amazing

Thank you Martin for sharing your precious knowledge of Jazz music.

a lot of data packed into 2 minutes. mind blown. thanks so much

Best piano lesson ever. RESPECT!

This is great! Thank you, Peter

Hey Peter, I've been wondering for *years* what jazz musicians were doing when they start to riff with "that sound" - and lo and behold its the half/whole diminished scale. My grandfather, saxophonist Charlie Ventura, inspired me to get into music but I've never hit his level - but videos like yours help a ton. If you ever are playing in the SF Bay Area hopefully I can swing by!

Thanks, Peter. I use them regularly for warmup before engagements. Makes the playing far more creative and improvisation better with groups or doing solo work. There are others here who also appreciate your mini lessons. So much music so many possibilities to express what's in one's mind and heart. I enjoy playing because of the randomness mixed with the classical foundation. It's just plain fun....Bless you, sir.

Very straight ahead and very musical in the instruction, demonstrated wonderfully. Thanks for pointing out all the possibilities in the process of demonstrating the colors of the diminished scale.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PETER ! YOUR PLAYING IS SO BEAUTIFUL ! WOW !

Thanks so much, these lessons are always so interesting and informative

Best KZfaq music instruction video. Period. Without question.

That's great! Jazz mood undoubtedly!!

Just awesome ... thank you Peter !

Peter, what an amazing lesson! I'm a guitar player and absolutely loved it.

Super cool stuff there Peter! Awesome!!! Thanks

Excellent tutorial! Thank You!

Thank you, thank you Peter.

I keep coming back to this tutorial. Most useful two minutes ever!

the sound of those broken triads, beautiful

Concise. Useful. Great vid.

My ear hungered for this vid since 1952 !! (More truth than fiction !**) 😍

Clear, concise and sound great!

Love this Lesson !!! Thank you very much from Montreal.

Thank you. Everything I could ask for. Eloquent, concise, and a damn good at playin' music.

Awesome! Straight to the point... Thanks a lot Peter Martin/Open studio!

Great lesson from a great musician! Thank you!

What a helpful video! Thank you very much, Mr. Martin!

This little vid is sure to inspire a lot of musicians, as it did me. Even though many of us know the theory, there's nothing like hearing and seeing it executed by an excellent player. I would like to add how much the phrasing and accentuation contributes to the overall sound.

I could listen all day! Thanks

Great. And i love the implication of how it is best used resolving to a major tonic, since its 13th is like an anticipation of the major 3rd of the target tonic chord.

OK, just subscribed. I'm off to the keyboard & will look at more of your clips today. I never really saw diminished scales as this versatile. Great tip! Cool little lesson!

Yeah I think this can really add tons of value to my play! And it indeed is very basic, lobe that. Thanks 👍🏻

Loved it sir ... Very useful for for us ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, you are a very good teacher.

so much knowledge in such short time - thanks a lot man!!

Absolutely amazing. Genius

Thx a lot Peter Great Lesson!

That was a cool video. Very well explained why it is important and how to play with it. Thank you :)

bang! there you go - have yourself a whole new musical level. ... Thanks, man! I'm gonna try and make this work on my Saxophone.

Great video thanks!

Oh. Play the scale over dominant chords, you say? And here I have been slugging it out with the diminished scale over altered chords and I couldn’t figure out why my lines weren’t as dramatic as I’d wanted. Thank you very much for showing us this.

thank you sir, that hit the spot

This is suuper interesting! Thanks for this video! Getting more into jazz and music theory myself, really excited to try this out, Thank you!!

Good-Job Good-Video bro and God Bless You with Brilliant and Knowledge 👍👍

Big thanks for a tip about broken chords. Should help with my struggle to apply diminished scale in melodies.

looks so easy...till i start trying it out
