Thanks for rating :)
(The lead guitar was recorded in timing but the metronome click was added afterwhile when editing the video so there is little latency, sounds a bit out.)
Diminished scales are easy on guitar because they use symetrical and regular positions. It goes pretty same for diminished arpeggios.
As long as you have 4 different notes I should say:
the diminished 7th arp. (1 b3 b5 bb7).
The diminished arpeggio only have 3 notes
(1 b3 b5) repeated over the fingerboard.
So to make it easier, let focus on practicing the exercises.
They are easy to visualize. If you like agressive tones and guitarists such as Malmsteen, Friedman, Hammet or Bellas,
this lesson is for you. Intermediates to pretty advanced level guitar players, think to check also the video part II.
The goal of the lesson isn't theorectical but only to give a few hints and ideas.
TAB:
i182.photobucke...
Ex1:
Diminished (7th) arpeggios over 3 strings (G,B,E 1st) and how to move your shift.
I alternate picking (down-up...) on the E and G strings. I sweep pick the passing string (B). So if the last note was picked upstroke
then the B string is naturaly picked also upstroke and so on. You noticed then that it's the same parttern repeated over and over across
te fingerboard. You don't need to rehearsal till the 23th like I do. If you're novice, simply go and go back with 2 or 3 shifts changes.
Ex2:
Diminished (7th) arpeggio over 3 strings (D,G,B) and how to move your shift.
Basically the same than Ex1. Its good to know differents positions for the same notes.
TAB:
i182.photobucke...
EX3:
6 strings sweeping pattern, fig1
You can hammer-on or alternate pick when there are two notes on the same strings. Then follow the motion of the pick and
play upstrokes the following strings when descending the arpeggio and of course picking downstrokes when ascending.
Think to mute with the right hand palm so that unsolicited strings do not ring.
EX4:
6 strings sweeping pattern, fig2
Same then Ex3 but with a different position that may fit better for some hands... Well, the right hand's middle
finger is solicited here instead of the ring finger like in Fig1.
Sorry I forgot to tape the lick played faster, however it sounds exactly same then the Ex3 fig1.
Dont forget to favorite this lesson if you like it!

I want to thank you very much for both of these diminished arpeggio lessons ROO, they have helped me a freat deal. For some reason I always had trouble with diminished licks and scales but now that I have seen and heard you do this (thanks for the TABs too) I find it very easy to perform myself and am working this into my practice routine daily. You are right that the patterns are very easy and symetrical, and they are giving me a much more distinctive sound to my soloing. Great job!
Diminished Areggios for begginers? When I started playing guitar the first thing I learned wasn't how to play diminished arpeggios or any arpeggios. Now I can and I actually use that run all the time. Great Job
i just thought id sharper up on diminished arpeggios and type it in and stumbled apon these lessons, theyre great, come with tabs on more info too, very nice im elarning this one now 5 stars!
those carvin models are phenomenal for this style
you are right man!! KIMB is full of diminished arpeggio licks... Very few have ever noticed that.
Thanx.we all gotta start somewhere and it makes it easier when you share guitar knowedge.Keep teachin you six string Samurai !
Nice lesson, well played!
Don't listen to those people, i guess they didn't read it is "DIMINISHED" arpeggios...or they don't know what diminished is :-/
Nice tone, well played, helpful.
Keep it up man !
thanks for sharing yr great skill for free...what a kind person...
diminished triad is R - b3 - b5, dimished 7th is R - b3 - b5 - bb7. you can also get "half diminished seventh "which are also referred to as m7b5 chords, R - b3 - b5 - b7
Thanks Roo...I especially liked the tab located in the description...
i tried these arppegios with sausages strapped to my fingers....it works..brilliant..
@doublej706 i back you up completely! i use a metronome when i learn or practice anything and its a key component to timing.
these arpeggios are really fun to play
hey dude this is a good lesson to me, as a beginner in the arpeggios, thank a lot!
diminished riffs are some of my favorites
i found this by chance, thank you it was a great help to me
i started sweeping this scale when i first started playing guitar. i didnt even know what it was then. lol. it's one of the only sweeping patterns i do when i play. :)
@jadilus : I consulted a friend of mine who is a guitar virtuoso and music theory PhD student, and the general consensus is that one ought to follow the other; you should be able to be in command of both learning/playing by ear and being able to visualize the patterns in some way other than looking down at your fretboard. Different parts of your brain are at work here and you derive a greater understanding and familiarity with the music that way.
a very complete and usefull lesson thanks men
the beginning sounds like sumthin out of megadeth :) they ROCK!!
@delt01 It refers to the position of the fifth in the scale. A Locrian, or diminished, scale only has four notes G, A, Bb, & D, thus there is no "perfect" fifth, it just makes a pattern of flat fifths giving it a creepy feel. An example of a perfect fifth would be in the key of "C" (CDEFGAB) would be G because it is the actual fifth note in the scale as opposed to the flat or diminished fifth in the locrian/diminished scale.
awesome!! love the diminished runs
Man,
I've subscribed you some time ago, but i wasn't really watching your stuff, and now.. Im gonna learn all this shit.. Thanks for posting mate...
21-52 just made my day!
AAAAHHH His tone is torture!!
I use Jim Dunlop, they are very good. Tortex is also a very good one too( i think it's 0.88mm ) nylon are okay to me, but i prefer think ones for for sweep and one string picking..i think that the nylons are really good for strumming cords (mostly for Acoustic guitars)
The sweeps he's doing here you can use to play over diminished chords only. Use minor for minors, maj for maj chords etc, etc.
This video helped me a lot, thanks!
thats exactly what it is. at the end of the little interlude lick its just a bunch of diminished arpeggios going up the neck.
@0MrRib0 Think of it as a scale G A Bb D Whole-half intervals. easy diminished passages just play one note, then 3 ahead.
what an intelligent person!!!your language and knowledge of words are very impressive you must be top of your class!lol oh and you do care or you wouldnt comment but if you cant take the heat? dont comment on other peoples conversation?what are you 15 yo?grow up ,dont comment if you dont want a response!dont comment if you cant answer one like an adult!!!!!!!!!!!!!seems to me your the one with issues i can recommend a good doctor for you!lol
It helped me a lot ! Thanks.
GREATEST VID!!excellent in every way..but it could be perfect if at the end of the vid u showed us how to sweep the arpeggio
Nice, your vids help a lot man!
thanks!
Great lesson!
I use this arpeggio sequence alot in my playing now.
Thank you!
\m/
Great tone...Great warm up
Got question here :) do you think music theory is important and understanding the guitar neck too or is it just of more importance that you can just play the guitar?? and thank you for your lessons because they really helped me to develop my technique and understand a bit more about the guitar.
I learned the sweeps he did in the begining by ear their pretty hard heres the tab
its only on the bottom four strings
e|-4-1-----------4-|
b|-----3-------3---|
g|-------4---4-----|
d|---------3-------|
and he keeps on moving down four frets everytime he sweeps.
lol thanks for playing it slow man otherwise I would have never figured it out.
the chords of the scale? the "harmonized diminished scale" (if you could call it that) has only diminished chords in it, so are you asking if someones written a song with only diminished chords in it? if so i hope the answers no
really helpful exercise...thanks man!
if you are going to shred like sweeps and tremolo picking its better to have something a little sturdier or try to get use to something thicker
nothing is wrong with the tone. thnx for the lesson
Tnx bro. Didn't know cuz I didn't watch the whole video.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of carvin guitar is that? Looks like the old 80s-90s model..
could someone please tell me exactly what the notes are for a diminished arpeggio, i've heard flat I, III, V, flat VII and they don't quite sound right.
Sweet guitar man, was really looking at that, got a Jem 7vsbl instead. How's the neck pickup in the js2400?
it all depends on what is important to you...i played for 7 years and giged for 1 before i ever learned any theory...i am studying at berklee college of music now and i realized how beneficial thoery is...you can learn all the scales and arpeggios and tapping licks you want but when i comes down to it and your rhythm guitarist plays a C(b9) chord, do you know what kind of dim7 arppeggio works over that?
thnank you! this really helpped me alot
hey can any of you post the tab with the notes of this scales? It's kinda hard to understand only by watching...
Thank you!
No, it is the notes of the chord played individually. You must know how chords are made to understand this. To understand how chords are made you need to know the Major or Ionian scale. So, if you want to learn to play lead, learn the Pentatonic positions, all 5. Memorize where the roots are in the patterns. Then learn Modes, when playing in minor (98 percent of rock) the roots are in the same spot. Roots are a safe zone to end phrasing with, gives it resolve. Start there, then explore Co5ths.
Very cool lesson!!!!!
Wow you're AMAZING*****
very nice carvin
what exactly is a diminished, is it like yoy play some scale notes and play the same notes in a different key,correct? cause thats what it seems like
I read that the diminished scale is good with the blues scale, but i can't figure it out?
Means from the major scale/triad/chord you have a lowered 3rd and 5th degree/interval if I recall right.
is that a carvin bolt i am looking to get some new guitars and want a carvin im not sure witch one
Very helpful your videos are
AMajor : A C# D. if you play the arpeggio you'll play the A C# and D. as you want, order the want where you want. that's all and it's pretty complicate cause it's not about a lonley chord, but billions. If you don'tknow the notes on your fretboard, you can't really go too far.
@BeefSupreme288 Honestly its not a matter of 'either or' in the case of music. Learning by ear means traing to hear what is proper sounding and becoming acquainted with the sound of the notes. Understanding what you're hearing is the other half of the equation. When you understand, you increase creativity, and when you perceive your creativity correctly, others appreciate what you now have. Trained talent.
sorry cuz i cant tell is this sweep picking, alternative picking or can it be done with both?
This is so dissonant, nice :)
@101techkid yes... for beginners. You should see some of the larger more complex arpeggio shapes. They get to be pretty ridiculous.
@jadilus you posted your comment 4 months ago but, stating that learning guitar by ear is best, but I believe that is wrong, because the mind gets used to hearing more complicated noises faster, by using tabs. Which then of course using your ear to play becomes easier, at a faster rate. Using your ear is good, but its not an ideal solution, if you want to become better faster. (not Scientifically Proven for either side of the argument though, seems to make sense to me).
I play country/jazz/oldrock--I love this lick--cant find where to put it--that carvin has a great tone. I'm practicing the lick but in a different patterm--lick, up 4 frets, repeat--etc
God damn , ofcourse arpeggios are not only for fast playing but we are talking about sweep arpeggios right now. And what you do with it doesn't matter you can use them for any type of music fast or slow whatever. But in a lesson i think you should show them fast too.
Good exercises Man !
Why was the third method skipped in this video?
this is a dumb question but is he sweeping it looks like he is going up but back dowwn it looks like skips
Nice excercises, they sound cool to!
thanx man its real helpful...
@OXCerberusX0 um, frets are symmetrical, its not like a piano, so you just play some frets away to transpose it... oh, I just saw your tuning. Well, why would you use such tuning? What bands play like that?? Anyways, diminishing is a sequence of perfect fourths, intervals, fourths in chromatic scale. Its not like you need help to figure such a simplistic figure....
where do you put it? I'm on 60's blues, 50's rock, country
@SmokescreenAbyss it is an ibanez JS2400!
@kalumo24 I agree, i think the other guys have crappy speakers. Do you have good speakers? Cause to me this is pretty great tone, clear and full.
is this in standard tuning? i wanna learn it in cgcgce.
the beginning arpeggiis are sweep picked diminished arpeggios. idk about the rest of it, havent learned it all yet, but the first part is dim for sure
helpfull as hell man!
thanks!!!!
@adamresyk2112 clear tone , easy to distinguish notes clearly , perfect for a video "lesson".
u want good music , go listen to a song .
This is not music , it's a tutorial , with excercises.
exelente.. muchas gracias
mmm, I think this way o diminished arpeggio repeating finger 4 is not very efficient, but it`s ok if works for you
NOt an LP, it is a Carvin and they make some insane axes, but at times their QC is not that great and some come out, well, just plain garbage.... As for the arpeggio Vids Thanks they are a great help for someone like me.....
nice tone dude
i like diminished scales because it sounds like an axe murder. and it's always nice to incorporate that into my music.
i will try play this :> good exr :)
are you starting from the root notes
@MikePostDrums
well they are both played in diminished. :D
nice lesson.
Do you know Uli Roth?
He was one of the first rock guitar players who played all this stuff.
See you.
thanks dude
Yeah!!
Go ]v[egadet]-[ whoooooooo!!
neo-classical metal rocks
@Toxin08 dude! for one im not a beginner, far from it, two yes it is faster to sweep, but its not ALL about speed! its about playing with feel and accurcy in what you do! i guess your a begginer on that then
nice lesson
dude, ppl told me to play guitar with thin picks, like 0,5 or 1,0, but i honestly like playing guitar with the 3,0 (which is usually used to play bass)
kick ass lesson :D
nice licks.
Do you guys know any free online guitar lesson Websites?
Indeed it is a Carvin.
@metalgearsol1d4 (Practice it both ways starting with a donwsroke and the upstroke , this will really help your picking)
@UnusualSuspectsUK They werent banned by Christian churches, they were banned from catholic churches, along with the locrian mode.
what key is this in?
