If the diminished chord has been giving you trouble, you must check out this lesson! I show you how to use the diminished scale on diminished chords and the auxiliary diminished scale on dominants. I discuss ways of making diminished ideas sound less like patterns and more like melodies. I also discuss turnarounds, comping and slash harmony. Tons of transcribed examples in notation and tab!
