This is the best explanation I have ever seen. Imagining a half step below leading up is so much easier to hear and visualize. It made this instantly accessible to me. It always seemed mysterious. Thank you!

I REALLY liked your way of presenting the diminished scale shapes as approach tones to the dominant arpeggio. Thanks for sharing!

It's one of my favourite scales in Flamenco.

Brilliantly simplified
I have been trying to introduce more jazz style into my blues soloing and seeing it from this viewpoint is really helpful

Thank you for this. It’s like I already knew this, but now I see it so much easier. Very helpful. Genius. Thanks again.

D.G. algo bueno - there is +9, I think that the principle will be the same. Thank you, Marc, very timely!

You nailed it Marc. I am able to use the diminished scale in the context of a G7 now. I need to make it smoother, but the concept is very clear. Well done!

Merci, this is a breakthrough-useful simplification: memorize the scale based on the arpeggio, plus enclosures. As helpful as your mnemonic that each melodic minor scale has the same notes as the Major scale a whole step down, except with a...#1

I'm suddenly sounding like Robben Ford resolving to the four chord. Merci Marc!

Ah, so cool. I've been wondering about learning a usable diminished pattern for a bit now - always in the back of my mind. Thank you for sharing this great tip Marc.
