i haven't dabbled too deeply with that scale, but i there's a time and a place for everything. i should verse myself better in alternate scales...i know less than i wish i did.


diminished scales are pretty cool as well. there are two of them, and they just alternate half and whole steps. as you would guess, one of them starts with a whole step and proceeds up the neck in half-whole incriments, and the other one starts on a half step and does the same thing. kinda like evil twins or something.

i used the diminished scale for this jazz band solo i did. i don't think i do a great service to the scale, though. i'm sure there are better and more effective ways of soloing with them that i haven't grasped quite yet.
