[Am]
[A] [B] [D]
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.
[D] [Cm]
[A] [C] I'll also show you how to use the diminished scale to move [G] from the V chord to the I [Gm] chord.
[G] [C] [Bb]
[G]
A rhythmic device that I constantly [Bb] use is beginning my [E] phrases on the upbeat of I.
[A]
[D] [A]
[C] I'll show some [D] melodic patterns [Am] that I use.
[Cm] [D] [Gbm] I'm not really a licks player, [Gm] but I do have a few diminished licks that I'll share with you.
[D] [Gb] [G]
I'll show you how [Em] I use the melodic minor [A] scale.
[E]
[G] [A] [Em]
[Am] [G]
[A] And I'll show you an interesting way to use [Em] open strings with the diminished scale.
[Eb] [E] [Ab]
[G] [Ab]
[B] [E]
Everything is [B] tabbed and notated, plus you'll get the rhythm tracks to work with on your [Em] own.
[E]
[A] [G]
So grab your guitar, [E] and let's dig in.
