SHORT CHORDVERSATIONS #12 - Amplified Diminished (A New Look at Diminished Chordal Structures)

In this mini-lesson series my goal is to share with all of you some of the fun and interesting practicing concepts I enjoy working on when I study harmony on the guitar.

Part 12 concentrates in exploring the many different ways in which we can extract chordal textures from the "whole step-half step diminished" scale. Many guitar players depend too much on the basic non-invertible diminished chord voicings that repeat in minor 3rd intervals on the fretboard with exactly the same fingering, but the diminished harmonic landscape is so much richer and more captivating than what these harmonic structures have to offer.

In this study and in-depth video masterclass I illustrate 7 of my favorite ways to re-interpret the whole-half diminished scale harmonically and use these new chord voicings to not only amplify our diminished chord dictionary but also to re-imagine our dominant 7 harmonic palette.

There are many more ways in which we can practice and implement this material but the ones included here should be enough to get you started on your own harmonic journey.

Materials Included:

"Amplified Diminished" chordal study (PDF file - TAB and Standard Notation).

55 mins. "HD" Video Masterclass.
