All the other dudes in the band look very much like 80's/90's academic jazz guys but I just can't handle the mullet on keyboards.. oh yea and the glam rock drummer

@roymsmart Hi Roy, yeah Robben sometimes uses the diminished (i.e. half step-whole step) scale over a seventh chord to make it sound hipper and maybe jazzier. This scale is one of the standard options over a Dom 7 chord in jazz. Bit of work do to make it sound smooth. I think in the blues form it sounds pretty cool when u play it (only) on the last bar before u change to the next chord.

I agree, Robben Ford is in a league of his own and is way ahead of the pack. Though, I am a little confused in one of his instructional clips on the diminished scale. He demonstrates it in the key of G. Does anybody know what I am talking about? if so, talk to me. rms.smart

Robbens phrasing is just killer. Every note is an explosion, every space an anticipation of the next asault.

@gtrs4life To quote Robben Ford himself on his Blues and Beyond instructional. "...when we recorded it there I didn't play any chords on it. I basically approached it as a saxophone player would - I just played melodies and soloed. I really grew up playing that way a lot I always liked saxophone players. I probably didn't even know the chords to the song when we cut it....I learned to play it by ear...." Rant at Robben, not me.
