Part 6 - Playing over min7b5 chords using the V7 chord but using diminished scale patterns/arpeggios


This is a simple example using a few well known diminished scale arpeggio patterns popularized by
Pat Martino and Herbie Hancock.


These patterns use Abdim and it's associated scale (see below).

For diminished patterns over dominant 7 chords, remember the half - whole dim scale contains
1 b2 b3 3 #4 5 6 b7


which in terms of chord tones would be:


1 3 5 b7 b9 #9 #11 13


So any combination of those tones can be moved up or down in minor 3rds. If you add non dim scale
tones such as the 9th, 4th, #5, maj7 it's no longer part of the diminished scale and will not be
symetrical. This doesn't mean you can't utilize those notes in patterns but today's lesson strictly
utilizes dim scale arpeggios.


The first pattern uses
G13b9(no7) E13b9(no7) Db13b9(no7) Bb13b9(no7)


And the 2nd pattern uses
G(#9) Bb(#9) Db(#9) E(#9)
