Hi, I'm [B] Robin Ford.
Welcome to [A] this Diminished Lines [E] edition of Solo Revolution.
[Eb]
[D] [A]
[E] The diminished [Am] scale for me has always had a direct correlation to the blues.
[G] It's both major and minor, which is very characteristic of the [A] blues.
The use of the flatted fifth and the [D] emotional intensity of the diminished scale [A] sounds like the blues to [E] me.
I'll [D] perform eight solo [Eb] performance studies for you, and we'll also discuss the [D] techniques [Gbm] and creative approaches that I use in my improvisations.
We'll [Am] start off [A] examining how the diminished scale is constructed, and the importance of learning how to hear [E] it.
I'll show you how to use the diminished scale [Eb] to move [D] from the I chord [C] to the IV [Gm] chord.
