this is all covered in Robben's Blues and Beyond.

[playgtrcouk]

@beeeastmaster and many other jazz books before his!! I never said I invented anything :) thank you for your comment

[danlovesnan]

what are the notes of this scale? is it an "arpeggio" or a real scale? give me the notes you would play on a G pentatonic please...to mix with a G pentatonic...

[playgtrcouk]

on a 12 bar blues in G the scale would be a G diminished Half step - Whole step, so: G Ab Bb B C# D E F (G) . it is an eight note scale, not an arpeggio.

[TheBlooderich]

@playgtrcouk Excuse me,but so you play a G blues scale with Ab(the second minor).So there is harmonic minor's sound?Sorry for the english,i'm italian.Ah you are great player.Is a Mix of scales?

[playgtrcouk]

@TheBlooderich no, it's not the harmonic minor scale, It's one of the diminished scales. You can see transcription in the 'advanced pentatonic stuff Pt2 - transcription' on my channel. Thank you for your comment!

[AmritsarAnarchist]

This was helpful. Thanks! Your tone's quiet nice as well. That gleaming PRS looks fab.

I'd say even at practicing an hour a day, look forward to a couple of years practicing to be able to begin feeling somewhat comfortable adding diminished lines and melodic minor to your pentatonic licks. Once you do though, wow, the doors that opens up. Good lesson, thanks.

[TimothyinToronto]

too bad the backing track is too loud.

[cm0220ster]

I agree , you learn it to a point where you have it under your fingers and then make yourself start to apply it. Point is though it takes a little bit to make it sound good where it becomes a part of how you play. If you resolve to chord tones it'll turn out alright. FOr me, the learning curve throughout my playing career has been diatonic scales and chords>learning solos>intervals and arpeggios>adding new scales like the melodic minor and diminished and repeat .

[abcdasddsadcba]

@cm0220ster yeah that's true, but i like to think of it more like when you play gigs you try out a line.. and the next gig go a little futher, and so on, cause by actually having to "sound good" on a gig you learn much faster! :) or my point is that it sounds so dull that you havet to practise 2 years before you can use it or whatveer :) :D

[Noodleztherabbit]

@playgtrcouk For the most part, you always land on a note from the diatonic scale or arpeggio right? I mean, you never land on the Ab Bb or C# on any of the four beats in the measure?

[OlegVoronin]

don`t forget Jimmy Herring diminished approach also Scofield does that over blues.
