This is a Diminished 7th arpegio. However the tequnique of using this Dim 7th argegio popping in and out of a normal scale is a good lesson and I thank you for it.
I don't wish to sound picky!! pun intentional you are not playing the diminished scale as such, but the the 4 tones of the arpeggio,maybe you should check your facts !
Or you could just use the harmonic minor scale.. 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, b6, 7, 1.. which is the natural minor scale with a maj7 instead of a b7, and throw a b5 and b7 in every now and then :P
Outstanding information, clearly presented! I've been fumbling in frustration on guitar for nearly 30 years. This is just the sort of knowledge that's so hard to find.
your comment is fair but a diatonic 7th scale is 1 3 5 7 taken from mother scale in the dim scale it is more "friendly". yes its "different" ,but it is still dim, and thereore has its place. Especially if you dont want to modulate. But for the other guy saying Aeroliao scale, then he should call it Aerolian mode, which is the same as natural minor, you can see he just looked it up, he can now call the major scale by its greek name too, might as well call a chord triad
@JoeCarciaSongWriting you are right this guy is playing a arpeggio I hope he in not teaching his students this wrong info LOL and the first scale he played was a aolean scale
If I got this right, its actualy the 4th and 6th degree of the A minor scale. Is this correct? And you refer to the degrees from a C major scale standpoint.
One other question. What about the major scale and its major modes and combining it with diminished scale note choice. Can this be applied too?
@MrRuggo Just tried to implement the diminished scale into an A major melody and it fits. Until now the 7th and 5th degree sound very natural to jump into the diminished scale (F and G#). Is this OK?
Thanks for the lesson, it will expand my composing ability.
total beginner to the diminished scale here. For us with ADD, it's refreshing to see someone teaching it slow, rather than just shredding it over some jazz progression, while calling out a bunch of obscure chord names an notes (impressive, but just showing off, really).
I learned something from your video, thanks. I also noticed you're skipping the little half steps in the diminished scale...probably not beginner, but it sounds good and totally doable for me

thats not a diminished scale you're using, it's a diminished 7 arpeggio. The diminished scale is something different.
