Diminished Scale Study for Guitar


The Diminished Scale Study for Guitar thoroughly examines the structure and use of diminished scales as they are applied to the guitar. The scales are broken down to the interval relationships and examined in the sense of how that information could be used in a guitar solo or composition. The scales are diagramed, discussed, and explored in various harmonic environments. The study also includes diminished dexterity exercises and riffs which can be used to develop technical skills.

This is a Supplementary Lesson, level 6+. It includes 15 pages and CD/cassette. ($17.50)
