[Wallimann]

@rajemmott Thanks so much! :-)

Check my guitarplayback for similar lessons though.

For Dmin7 i could play D dorian, D phrygian and D aeolian, or are you saying D dorian, E phrygian, A aeolian?

[Wallimann]

@drewhet You could play D Dorian, D Phrygian or D Aeolian. :-)

[drewhet]

@Wallimann ah i see now. i played those 3 scales on top of each other and i see how they all have the chord tones DFAC.

David - This is a great series. Can you please re-post 3, 5, and 6 in the series? They're not available anymore.

[Wallimann]

Thanks a lot man!

Unfortunately I accindentally deleted those and don't have them anymore.. :-(

[smokinggun6105]

great stuff. thanks. can you pls put the third part back

[punkjazz1020]

why do you have music going in the background during the video?, it is very distracting.

[Wallimann]

Yeah, that's a good point...

[bigleemac]

Sted (GMC)

so, let's say I'm executing a Gmaj scale decending and augment the first active. what would be the correct term for that scale? Gmaj augmented scale? I guess what I am trying to get straight is the terminology.

Thanks!

[Wallimann]

What do you mean by the first active?

[Wallimann]

No, you wouldn't use augmented there.

Only use those terms (augmented and diminished) when talking about simple intervals (distance between two notes)...

[vbuen323]

Hey, awesome lesson bro but I had a question.

How can you diminish a scale or augment it? is there an order you have to follow or can you diminish/augment any degree in the scale in order for it to be considered diminished/augmented?

[Wallimann]

Great question man!

You really augment or diminish a scale.

What you can do though is diminish or augment an interval by substracting or adding a half step to it.

For example, augmenting a 4th would make it an augmented 4th.

Hope that helps!
