Thank you so much for this video. I've been in a rut with my piano skills, and this has given me something new to work on!! I've been trying to "figure out" Jazz improvisation for a bit, but never able to get the "template" in my mind until now!! Thank you!!

This is great. The scales themselves always made sense to me, but their application didn't until you related the "top notes of the pattern" to a dominant 7. I've been having a ball with them. Thanks for opening a new window for me!

[derzp]

wow great vid. my improv game is hella improved thanks to this...i love that middle-easty sound you get from the half-whole diminished scale!

[Modes9]

That was a thorough explanation of how Coltrane used certain diminished patterns around 1957...

[steflova2]

Hey, i have a question.. at 3:23-3:27... You said that Cdim7 and Db dim 7 are da same scale as Eb dim 7.... I dont understand why Db dim 7 is da same scale as C dim 7 and Eb dim 7? it doesnt coincide.......please explain.

[DajaWaja]

@Clmbianduro course they do. You have to understand there are two kinds o' diminished scales the ones that start with whole step and the ones that start with half step. Cdim is da same as Dbdim cause in Cdim that starts with half step its second note is Dbdim which at the same time is a diminished scale that starts with whole step

[aegtiksubedasi]

@Clmbianduro because notes are the same, but they start from different keys.

think about the similarity between C major and A minor.

You know, I've found that the m7b5, diminished 7 and mb5 chords all have different uses even though they are extremely simular

Great lesson, aw man I wanna be that good someday :)

Excellent! this is exactly what certain (me) people need. There are a ton of beginner's stuff out here and not enough for folks with a solid theory background. The speed/ pacing is perfect. Nailed it. Very helpful.
