MASTER The Symmetrical Diminished Scale (Whole Half & Half Whole)

- Master the very sophisticated sound of the W/H & H/W Diminished!
In this video, I share everything you need to know to unlock the Symmetrical Diminished scale so that you can start using it within your playing and adding it to your improvisational language.
This Whole Half or Half Whole Diminished scale is often used as a way to play 'outside' in order to create tension within your lines, chord voicings, and harmonic movements. It's not only a sound used in Blues & Jazz but a sound found across all styles of music and different genres.
I get into the deep theory of this modern scale and cover the functions/applications, triad ideas, generating chords, scale shapes for the guitar, and some of my favourite lines/patterns (+ lots more!).
The examples in this video will give you all the knowledge to truly master this #diminishedscale so that you can call upon this sound whenever you want to bring out the #wholehalf or #halfwhole tension! You can also check out my Patreon page for further in-depth material related to this video and more ways on how to use this scale.

what model is that beautiful guitar?
Your long-form videos are the best ear training lessons for guitarists that I’ve found. My student’s ability to hear the subtlety between related diminished scales and intervals in general after spending time with your channel have been greatly improved. And so is mine!
You are so very good. Thank you for sharing all the great playing, artistry and information/wisdom. Other than with your own band or solo I'd love to hear you playing with someone like Joscho Stephan. Hope all's going well.

Each lesson worths million bucks.
Yes for sure I'm an advanced player and I go to him quite often
This is one of the most advanced jazz guitar lessons I have seen on CZcams. Thank you so much Robbie I look forward to more of these stellar contributions to the jazz guitar world.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind message!
The world needs more music teachers like you. Thank you.
I c0mpletely agree!!!
I can say this is the kind of not-for-beginners in-depth tutorial I have been waiting for for years. Thank you for this. It's amazing
Four four?
Beautiful ES-335!!!
Es 345?
If Tomo sensei is watching this video..you doin it right , hahahah .But was it a 345 rather than 335 , with that varitone??
@@EumirBethbeder Yes..its a 345 as indicated by the split block inlays.
out of millions of videos on youtube this is a treasure. a year of work packed in 40 minuets. thank you so very much.
You're very welcome! Thanks for the kind words
One year? That's 40 years of finger numbing repetition into 40 minutes Mr. Taltool
Amazing how you have a channel with only 10 total videos, yet they’re so densely packed with great information, I’m quite confident I can completely learn jazz guitar from it
I Love Robert. In a straight way 😊
Fantastic work Robbie, we are loving this.
Thanks a lot!
From one music teacher to another, you have a gift and I'm so glad you're sharing knowledge in an easy to understand way. Thank you!
I've been meaning to really dig into this scale, it has such an interesting sound. Thanks so much for this! Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites
Your „Purple Haze“ Solo is the best Guitarsolo I have ever heard. It took me to another level of consciousness.
Thank you for this incredible huge inspiration. All the best for you and greetings from Germany.
This lesson is absolutely fantastic! Lots of content explained in a useful and precise way. I'll probably be rewatching this for months until I soak it all in.
The most convenient video because I just started working with this stuff over the last 2 weeks
I swear the universe truly does listen if you “will it.” Early this week I’ve been wanting to learn more about the diminished scale and apply it into my playing. You’re a legend Robbie. Thank you.
Googles using the microphone on your device to track things you say and use it to improve suggestions.
I've tested this for a number of months, with permissions granted and not granted, and no matter what I do, things I say appear in my suggestions.
@@skobywankenobi I agree with you. It’s not the first time that’s happened. I often think out-loud (euphemism for talking to myself), and I recall saying that out loud
Thanks so much mate. I get more out of any 5minute chunk of your videos than I would in hours of other videos. Particularly love you letting us in to applications, not letting a scale just be a mindless set of stairs for us to walk up and down aimlessly! You give great depth and background and no waffle. Love it. Thanks heaps for your time doing this
Thanks for the nice words, really great to hear that you're enjoying the channel!
Killer! Well here we go, another video of Robbie that blows my mind. Seriously, one video of yours every three month is absolutely enough for me to deal with, as it is a pressure refueling input, that needs a lot of time to deal with and to integrate it into your practice. Thanks for sharing! Love it! Gotta go now, need to practice. Cheers DimiZ
Man, your lessons are absolutely insane, now we need a lesson about your intro🔥
Jeez Robie how are you this good lol. Man Im always excited when i see an alert for your videos because i know its going to teach me something unique and challenging. Thanks for being a great teacher as well as a great player
I've never heard of you.. but after hearing that tone I clicked the subscribe button inside of the first 30 seconds LOL. Looking forward to checking out your other content.
I’ve been watching music tutorials since CZcams came out, and this was one of the best in any genre I’ve seen. Subbed 🥰
I really enjoy your videos. I often have to stop and play back what you said, just to process the information. But it is a wealth of info. I'm a rock player, and your insights really expand my own playing. Thanks so much for your playing and teaching.
I was beginning to worry you’d put aside your youtube channel. Great to see another excellent video from you. Always hits the right mix of theory and application without shying away from assuming foundational theoretical knowledge. Rick Beato has been neglecting in this kind of stuff recently… really appreciate you picking it up and always with the highest production standards. Awesome work.
Wasn't expecting half whole Purple Haze lmao
Robbie, this is pure gold! Well done and thanks for sharing!
Not just knowledge, but wisdom in spades! Thank you, Robbie!! You are a diamond!!
Absolutely killer stuff, and you're an absolutely monster player! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Best jazz guitar tutorial in ages, brilliant!
I literally just started working on diminished licks to move between chords in a 12 bar blues and then you post this. *You're a legend* from one of your happy patreon subscribers.
Wonderful! Huge thanks for your support towards the channel
I Love Your Great Understanding of Music and They Way You Teach With no Confusion In Your Given Lessons .Keep Sharing With Us 🙏🙏🙏
Ya I always struggled decending and you are the first person to address this and how to navigate ...the major voicing is really cool ...just bumped up everybody's playing instantly ...cheers
What a behemoth of a video... Robbie you're killin' it
Fantastic. Fairly complex subject explained, and the angular playing demo is outstanding.
one of THE BEST videos about this subject matter. my gosh your chops are sweeeeeet dude. you are a good teacher!
Thanks Robbie, there is so much to learn from your videos, really happy that your channel is blowing up...
You are utterly, ridiculously, and completely stupendously brilliant.
Thanks for another great lesson Robbie, your videos have helped take my practice to the next level!
Robbie....I mean, how do you come up with this stuff?! Someone else wrote that their brain hurts, and I agree, but we are just trying to keep up with your thought processes. You think these concepts through, explain things so well, and then your demonstrations are completely inspiring. Thank you for the incredible content and information, helping me to understand something I've never really got down. Best to you in 2023!
I can’t believe this is all free. Incredibly good content
the amount of musical knowledge and theory you packed into this lesson has left me staggering.....i hope i will recover and be able to use SOME of it.....
Repeated viewings for me, for sure!
As a huge fan and practitioner of the operatic symphonic progressive melodic euro folk metal style that´s going on in the world of metal these years I can´t wait to sit down and dig deep into this for expanding the melodic language of the music I play.
Equally applicable to the grand anthem like compositions of the style as well as to the in your face rockers as to the folk inspired acoustic songs,- all of it expanding the harmonic and melodic possibillities of an already more open and outside genre of metal than most.
New sub here.
Thank you.
It's amazing that you've reached 66k subscribers with only 10 videos! Congratulations man! The videos are awesome and the content is great! Keep doing it! Cheers from Brazil!
Another superb lesson from Robbie
Robby you’ve handed a part of my brain to me that has been waiting for all of this. Thank You!!!
You are an awesome teacher Robbie. I love your style of teaching bcos it is very clear and mentally digestable.
Hey Robbie, I'm happy to see your channel growing fast. Your content is in my top list for what concerns jazz education and the reason for that is you can actually play
One of Scott Henderson’s favorite scales, and you capture his vibe on some of these licks. Great work.
That first solo is Killer!👏
World class quality here. Congrats Robbie!!
Thank you again !!! Love your channel
Wow! This scale is incredible, it will improve my way to play solos
I am intrigued by the diminished tonality and its function. It has always pulled my ear in when i hear it.
Long before i knew what it was.
Very interseting tutorial. Ill never be able to play like yourself but its still useful info....thanks
Another stellar lesson from a brilliant player. Thank You
This is great. I'm already using these lines. Thank you very much.
Fantastic video! Thank you Robbie!
Excellent! Very well explained!
So good man, I unknowingly was confusing dominant and diminished harmonies, this totally helps. Thanks for sharing!
I've never subscribed so quickly to a new channel in my life
I just found your channel and I already love it. I'm gonna use so much time here, thank you for being so good at explaining things, it really makes sense! Keep it up :P
Thank you Mr. Barnby!!!
Это просто шикарное видео по вопросу уменьшенных ладов! Спасибо большое за такую колоссальную работу! 🔥
Mike Stern use is this I can hear it. I think Miles had all his musicians try to play that scale at one time
Hi Robbie ...you are by a long shot the best teacher on the net...your Barry Harris is friggin amazing ...I've always struggled with these and im surprised that you don't call them tonic w/h or dominant h/w ....this term from another teacher made it easy for me...anyway you are the best...
Please keep up the good work, it is truly amazing lesson and thank you very very much
Simply wonderful... Clear, specific, powerful, useful and enlightening over a very difficult jazz concept for a rock musician... At least to me...
Thanx a lot from México City...!
incredibly helpful and eye opening, just what I needed to get more familiar with, thanks so much man!
Really diggin your channel playah...your many many and many levels above and ahead of me in every way, and I'm no spring chicken, playing for many years; You make my brain hurt, but in a good way. Your inspiring me to learn jazz, and coming from the rock&roll only attitude, jazz is VERY complicated to me; it seems like I'll never get it, but I really want to. I might not be intelligent enough, and I'm not self deprecating to be modest or for sympathy, its just fact, some get it, some don't...Jazz that is.I hope you keep this channel going, its really helpful.
High quality content. Go Robbie!
this is mind blowing, absolutly amazing job putting this together
Thanks for checking it out!
Well this is just incredible. Hot damn. Great stuff.
Great playing and explanation.
Man this is really great! I've been struggling getting my head around this scale for few weeks. Cheers
So good to see a new video from you! killer playing and great teaching!!
Thanks a lot!
This is an amazing, high quality, thorough lesson.
Yes! Another solid Robbie video.
No! Another solid Robbie video. I'm still digesting the diminished 6th vid!
Fantastic work! Making me dig into Diminished lines today! Thank you ;)
Dude, this is amazing. I love the wh/hw "diminished world". You can blend them in in so many musical contexts. But, it is A LOT of "non-mainstream" stuff in there. I wouldn't take a thing of what and how you explained it, just make it slowly a bit "digestible".
Once again, excellent EVERYTHING on this video, mate. 👌
Excellent 👍👍👍❤ thanks Robbie
Hey Robbie, I just wanted to say you’ve changed my life with the content you put out! I’ve taken to learning these concepts through and through on guitar and piano,
It’s a lot of regular practice, but it’s some of the most liberating creative work I’ve done!
And I’m confident in my playing to start jamming and improvising with new friends :)
Thanks for helping me find a musical confidence and community
I’ll drop you something on patroon when I can afford jt
Thanks for your lovely comment! It's really great to hear that my channel has helped with your improvising and ability to play music with others. That is exactly what I wanted to achieve and hearing this certainly inspires me to share lots more concepts with you all!
Great lesson. Very clear guide into modern colours. Thank you
Awesome!
Another gem of a video, Robbie. Thanks.
Thanks Mike!
Such high quality!
You are the best !! Thank you for this stuff ! it's gold
Robbie you are a legend! Thanks for this amazing video!!!
My pleasure, thanks for checking it out!
Just phenomenal content - thanks!
Please make a similar video about altered scale! This was so informative and I really dig your teaching style!
This lesson is a goldmine
this is gold dust mate
I thought I already left this comment, but this is at least 3-4 weeks of study material. I think you're one of the top pages I've found. Thank you so much.
finally a new video from you. haven't even watched yet but i know it's gonna be good
you are one of the most fascinating guitar players I have ever seen man. keep up the great work.
This is excellent work!
Thanks for sharing your fantastic videos!
Your improvisation is DISGUSTINGLY good!
Brilliant!
Absolutely the best!
That's just amazing. Thanks for sharing this! There's so much material, it will keep me busy for the next 10 years :-))
holy crap!!!!!!!!! this is very, very enlightening..... thank you Robbie!!!!!!!!! this explanation has helped me fashion very cool and harmonic shell chords ( I play bass ) and has added to my bag of sonic harmony tricks..... although this is no trick...... it works....I never appreciated the DNA of a diminished scale..... until I watched this video..... Holy crap.... one of the best videos I've seen in a while..... your playing is stellar by the way....
Thanks a lot, really glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!
Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.
