c# fully diminished scale has a c and c#. it's a nine note scale. it's a lot like a 7th#9.

@mayvin1975 I just started reading music (mainly just notes from the real book ). I feel like being able to read music is the missing link to becoming a better guitarist. It gives you a different perspective on note selection, almost global

@maigles

I think that's done to maintain the tension created by the chromatic movement between C7 and C#dim7....

Cdim scale over a C#dim7 chord creates more tension than using the C#dim scale itself....

Not sure about this though....sorry if I'm wrong.....

[maigles]

Why does he play a C diminished scale over a C#diminished chord? Why doesn't he play a C# diminished scale?
