Thanks, Tomo. And it's been said before, but we appreciate you also supplying some chord progressions for context. It helps to bring these scales to life.

My pleasure! It has been .... people have been teaching same way about scales. Too much information part of things. Scale shapes and patterns of scales. People often did forget to mention harmony part of scale. So happy to hear that.

We are so glad to remaking "Essential Music Theory" section over.
4 more to go! I love working here very much! Thanks to George & Sammi!

Thank you.

Also, it seems if you do chord scales using diminished scale, then all the chords in the scale are diminished? Have I got that right?

Mainly this scale is for Dim7 chord.
Then you can also apply this scale over Dom7 chord (then you play 1/2 W 1/2 W)

Thank you.

"makes friends easily," I love this, Linda! Assigning a character to a scale based on sound 😎

ET27 Diminished 7th Arpeggio was right on time. The R-b3-b5-bb7 is easier to get my head around at this time, rather than the entire scale. And it works SO well in that blues progression. I love playing it. Thanks Tomo.

And yes, it even works over the One chord. How can this be? One of the mysteries of music.

李jiayang I'm so happy that you got are reunited with your guitar. Congratulations, you have been very patient.

I do love this scale, it really opens things up. I think the companion lesson to this Diminished Scale (the ET27 Dim Scale Arpeggio) really helps me understand it. I am still going thru it to absorb it all, but "Don't Expect too Fast".
