I had a little trouble following the first couple patterns until I realized the pattern repeats every 3 frets, while Rick keeps saying move it up 4 frets. It's a 4 fret pattern, but it repeats if you keep moving up 3 at a time. That is, start on 5, then start on 8, then start on 11, etc. The first finger goes to where the 4th finger was, so to speak.

Great teacher! Love your content Rick! Always had a fascination with dark sounding chords,dissonance and just unusual awkward sounding chords and melodies. When I was at college I think I annoyed people because it would be all I played 😂. Then I discovered bands like opeth that use a lot of unusual chords and have a dark but beautiful sound. Then started to dabble into atonality and even serialism,I just loved how unconventional it was and that most music is made to resolve to be pleasant to the ear and this played against the hype. Music is meant to evoke a lot of emotion but it's always the same emotions,a lot of mainstream music won't make you feel uncomfortable and unsettled as these genres,although over time your ears come to accept it and this becomes normal to you and still uncomfortable to others. So what I'm saying is I appreciate learning more from someone who knows how to put it into context and what people don't realize is,diminished scales,augmented scales,chromatism,atonality etc doesn't always have to some uncomfortable either. If you use a tiny bit of it sparingly in a short passage of a normal song with regular chords it can sound beautiful too :) as long as you don't stay on the notes that are uncomfortable and just glide over them. Probably bored you to death reading this 😂 but yeah thank you for the inspiration and great content ☺️

I totally agree with you Jamie. I have this weird fixation with Weird chords, I call'em. For a rich dose of atonality, if you don't mind classical music, although it's only about 10 minutes, check out Nocturne Symphonique by Ferruccio Busoni. P.S. Also I like the old romantic stuff, just get tired of it after a while . .

Okay, I struggle with this stuff so I had to write it down and go over it many times. Can some verify if the following is correct or not? I'm trying to come up with the triads that Rick states at around 4:45: * We're talking about Dominant Diminished scale, also called the half-whole diminished, on account of its order of intevals from the starting note. (There is also the whole-half Diminished or "Fully Diminished" scale, which seems less commonly used) * The formula for the half-whole diminished is, half, whole, half, whole, half, whole, half, whole. * In key of A, that gives us a scale of : A, Bb, C, C#, Eb, E, F#, G, A * We construct chords from the 3rd notes of scales, which taken from above gives us A, C, Eb and F#. So that gets me that far, I now have a series of notes that match the roots of chords that Rick describes as being associated with this scale (A maj, A min, A Lydian, C maj, C minor, C Lydian, Eb etc etc) But how does he then get to major, minor and Lydian flavours of chords starting with those roots? I'm sorry for be the dumb one.

Question: When you did the Bb tonic dim scale (9:43), you said it's W-H-W-H-W-H-W-H. Since we are using Bb as the example, what would you call the 7th degree since all the musical alphabet is used up? So it would be: Bb - C - Db - Eb - Fb - Gb - Abb - ??? - Bb

2:25. If some diminished licks are hard to play on your guitar, there's a simple solution: tune your guitar in such a way that each open-string tone is separated by a tritone interval. For example: E5 A#4 E4 A#3 E3 A#2 It also makes it very easy to play up and down a diminished scale, whether dominant or tonic. 6 5 3 2 0 5 3 2 0 5 3 2 0 5 3 2 0 5 3 2 0 5 3 2 0

Is it widely recognized and if so what sort of role does it normally play? It seems like you are also calling it a sus 4 chord.. do you mean because it would be the sus4 of the Major 1 in a Lydian mode? It’s just odd man.
