Thank you for all the very interesting videos in your channel. I play classical and pop guitar, Bass guitar and self-taught simple keyboard. I have Grade-8 ABRSM Music Theory and by watching your lessons on Jazz, Blues, Chords, Scales, etc. I did learned a lot and it really opened my ears (not only eyes) to such fantastic and wonderful music. You are a GREAT teacher, and your efforts in making all the video lessons is commendable. THANK YOU !
Awesome lesson for the diminished scale! I want to get a Johnny CD. He's a great, great teacher, but sometimes I'd rather just hear him play. Johnny has a ton of knowledge and very efficient way of communicating his ideas. Thanks.
There's enough work here to keep me busy at the keyboard for the rest of my life! Learning jazz is challenging but just to be abl e to play a few bars of "that sound" is worth the effort. Excellent introduction- many thanks!
This vid may be old, but has very important information in regards of chordal framework, harmony, improv, etc that's essential explained in simplistic form. Standard stuff.
So glad to find your channel. I appreciate your enthusiasm as much as I appreciate the step-by-step nature of your lessons and that you explain why you are doing what you're doing.
Great idea for a video Jonny! This and the altered dominant scale immediately took my playing up a notch once I discovered it. Great for that bebop sound I think.
One nice thing about this scale is that, unlike conventional scales where you have to learn 'em in all 12 keys, if you'll practice this scale in all its 'modes' (starting at different points in the scale), then there are, I believe, only two patterns to memorize. I originally learned this scale to comp diminished chords. I hadn't realized that you could use it for dom-7ths as well. So cool !
Johnny..really fun to play.. I have found the dominant diminished scale flows under my fingers.. Btw.. have some of your licks down. I find it is great to work on the licks..Thank you.
Watching in September 2021. What a lecture ! Do you watching guys notice how useful this is ?? How much time you can take in your solo piano bar improvising on simple harmonic progressions without playing a single song ? How much is time worth in your gigs ? Master Jonny, I am your student from Brazil and would like you to know how much you are helping me. Amazing ! Thanks !
Interesting scale though I've never heard it by that name; always as the whole-half diminished scale to differentiate it from the normal diminished which starts on a half step and in a lot of music schools it's called the symmetrical diminished scale.
Interesting... If you add the notes from the tri-tone substitute to the notes of the dominant, you get this scale... minus the Eb. Which means that you should be able to play this scale over the TT also.
I don't really get why that C7 becomes a 13th with the A note in that octave - the 3rd and 7th are the harmonic bosses here so the 13th should be literally that - the semi-tone dissonance changes the flavour - 6/b7 as opposed to b7/13 .
FULL diminished (WHor HW)..it's symmetrical...there's endless combinations. like he said..you can play the same interval starting from b3 ,5, 6...(H/W if you start from the b2 maj3., 5, b7 .it'll be W/H.. or you can reverse the process..Play full diminished W/H starting from the ROOT.

Johnny, I have just found the biggest treasure in the ocean... I have been looking for something like this for a very long time.
There's enough work here to keep me busy at the keyboard for the rest of my life! Learning jazz is challenging but just to be abl e to play a few bars of "that sound" is worth the effort. Excellent introduction- many thanks!

Transcribing these lines to apply to my guitar playing! This lesson just showed me the true melodicism of this scale! Thank you so much!
Johnny..really fun to play.. I have found the dominant diminished scale flows under my fingers.. Btw..

Johnny! Did you learn Theory before you tackled the keyboard?
Interesting... If you add the notes from the tri-tone substitute to the notes of the dominant, you get this scale... minus the Eb. Which means that you should be able to play this scale over the TT also.
I don't really get why that C7 becomes a 13th with the A note in that octave - the 3rd and 7th are the harmonic bosses here so the 13th should be literally that - the semi-tone dissonance changes the flavour - 6/b7 as opposed to b7/13 .
Thanks. Which piano do you use?
where i can find others scale for other types of chords? :) thank you so much!
Thejazzpianosite.com
It’s all free
Good less.🙂
Is there any reason not to add the 11th (F) to this scale?
Semitone-tone scale follows a pattern: semitone - tone, thats why theres no F.
I think the hardest thing is keeping the groove
This guys such a g
u a bad man
A.k.a. half-whole
FULL diminished (WHor HW)..it's symmetrical...there's endless combinations.
like he said..you can play the same interval starting from b3 ,5, 6...(H/W
if you start from the b2 maj3., 5, b7 .it'll be W/H..
or you can reverse the process..Play full diminished W/H starting from the ROOT.
hmmm don’t most scales use whole steps and half steps all the way up? lol
LOL. How many "best scale for improvision" do I have to learn?
