In this video I'm taking a look at how the mighty Robben Ford 🐐 uses the diminished scale in the humble 12 bar blues for some cool outside sounds. He's an absolute genius when it comes to phrasing and note choice, and has a seemingly endless reservoir of ideas. I've broken down a few of his diminished concepts, as well as how he thinks about the harmony and chords to help you navigate the jazzier side of the blues. (Gear used in video down below)

Every different chord he plays is called tension😮
That's where the magic happens! 😅
@@SteveAllsworth 😆 Yes Sir'. Keep up the great work. I will subscribe!
One of the best, clearest, teaching videos on this subject I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! Glad to have helped Mike 🙏🏼
I agree
This lesson is exactly what I need when I needed it. I've been practicing 2 octave Dominant seventh arpeggios in 5 positions. I've seen Robben demonstrate his diminished licks on YT, but your method will really help me. I've been playing for 55 years and there's so much still to learn.
That's great to hear John! Yep, every day's a school day - I don't think I'll ever stop learning 💪🏼
Me too. It’s endless and exciting when you expand your knowledge and skill.
The phrase 'over one's head's springs to mind.
Oh dear - yes it's a little advanced - stick with it!
I feel ya.
The word visualisation is used. Which is vital component in all of this.
“I’m over my head, but that’s how I like it” -Robben Ford (from the album Keep On Runnin)
The joy of the tritone.
Yes indeed! 🤘🏻
Hello, I'm from Indonesia country. Thanks for your lessons. I'm a fans of Robben Ford and John Scofield. This lesson opens up my vocabulary.
Thanks Taufiq - glad you enjoyed the lessons. I love Indonesia too! 🙌🏼
I've watched almost all of robben's diminished lessons, and they're great..but something about this video really made it make sense to me. Awesome lesson man!
That's brilliant - glad to have helped! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🎸
Agreed 100%! As great of a player Robben is, I've always found his teaching method vague at best. Steve on the other hand is quite coherent in imparting the lesson. Kudos!
one of the best explanations of this concept I've ever come across! wonderful video
Thanks Michael, lovely words - hope you're doing well! 🙌🏼
Thank you for this nice lesson! Very nicely explained and played by the way. I'm inspiered! Cheers from Germany!
Awesome! Thank you! 🎸🙌🏼
Stevie old boy u took me down memory lane for I bought the book "Blues & beyond" when it first came out! & seems to me we got similar taste for Albert King, Albert Collins , SRV and BB (just to name a few) r my Gods but to me Robben has that extra kinda edge that inspires me big time - I mean Rugged Road is freaking INSANE!!!! & Robben kept on evolving and polishing his style - to me he's a genius!!! Keep it up man
Cheers Roger - it's an awesome book isn't it? Robben's was streets ahead of many tuition books - you're right - he's a frikkin' genius! 🙌🏼
Beautiful playing
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
Gorgeous tone.
Cheers! 😀🎸
Beautiful selected examples! Thank you
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed them!

Always amazing Steve! Big love ❤️
Thanks so much Jimmy!! 🙏🏼
That's a great lesson, thanks Steve.
Thanks a lot! 🙌🏼
Robin is truly a jazz guitarist. He played in toured with Miles Davis
Group!
He's got a lot of that in his locker for sure!
Robin was also Batman's sidekick for quite sometime.
Robin also lived in Sherwood Forest a long, long time ago.
Best explanation of this concept I’ve seen- thank you !
Awesome, thank you! 🙌🏼
So many great insights! A ton to work on, thank you!!!

I sincerely feel the need to compliment you on your teaching style. As a lifelong guitar player who has had the fortune to continue to play music with many wonderfully talented musicians, I am also a retired public school teacher who retired after 33 years of teaching. You have a very teacherly/"breaking things down" approach in your delivery of the "curriculum" that you are outlining. Well done!! I also cite Robben Ford as one of my all-time inspirational guitarists. Thank you.
Wow - thanks for spending the time to reach out with such lovely comments! 😄🎸
The quality of the videos are wonderful 🎉 hope there’s more to come!
That's great! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Great thanks. Love your playing as well.
Thank you Mick! 🙌🏼
Great lesson! Very good explanation. Thanks!
Cheers Rich! 🙏🏼
This is so helpful for those going for a more jazzy approach in blues. Thank you so much!
Cheers William! Glad you enjoyed it 🎸
I have been trying to wrap my head around this for years, your explanation is the first time it made sense. Thank you!
Ah that's fantastic to hear Keith - so glad I could help! 💪🏼
Great video. Thx for posting.
My pleasure!
This is a fabulous Lesson so glad I found your channel! I think your channel is on the verge of growing immensely!
Thanks Kane - glad you found me! 🙌🏼 I hope so! 💪🏼

Thank you my friend from Brazil! 🙏🏼
awesome lesson love your channel!
Thanks so much! 🙌🏼🎸
Wow!!! Brilliantly explained
That's great - glad to have helped! 🙏🏼
@@SteveAllsworth I never really got into much of Robin's stuff. Listening to it now.
@@togotraining6621 The Talk to Your Daughter album is the one most get into in a big way - but some of his modern live gig stuff is astonishing - hope it's a great listening journey for you!
Thank you, for that great lesson. Explains so much for me without struggling through all the scales and the third intervalls of the scales …on point and in a holistic commonsense/context.
You're very welcome - glad to have helped! 😃🎸🙌🏼
Excellent video, I've been studying these for a while and a lot of these concepts I've known, but being able to use them on the fly has been quite a challenge. Very good seeing it from a different angle thank you!
That's fantastic to hear!
Yes! Thanks for another lesson Steve. Your channel has quickly become one of my favourites on youtube for guitar education stuff. Really top level content.
That really means a lot Mozart - thanks very much 😄
Really great inspiring and instructive. Thanks…subscribed
Thanks for the sub Mike - great to have you on board!
Nice explaining 👍 good lesson and describing
Thanks Pavel! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Very useful. Thanks.
Welcome - thanks for watching!
So much crammed into one lesson video! Thanks and Fantastic! I am hooked and subscribed!
Nice one Bruce - glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼🎸
I love the acoustic sound of your guitar! Great pickups as well! Thank you for the lesson btw! Cheers.
Awesome, thanks for watching and digging the lesson! 🎸🙌🏼
@@SteveAllsworth; I think it sounds awful 😬
Like the truss rod is too tight, or maybe the saddles are too low.
Great lesson, thanks.
Welcome! 🙏🏼
That’s the most comprehensive lesson I’ve ever seen on moving shapes and scales through minor third intervals. I like to play and improvise using that concept, but you’ve definitely added some spiciness to the mix. What a great teachable point of view! Thank you kind sir.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🎸🙏🏼
Steve, your courses are simply amazing! What a clear approach to these tricky techniques! The examples are very musical. The sound and frame are very nice too! Thanks a lot, you're really helpful !! I suscribe immediately 😄
Awesome, thank you! 🙏🏼🎸
This is very useful and helpful to understand building improvisation on basis of diminished concepts. Robben Ford sounds great, very well explained. I did not know, how good a 13 b9 chord can be explained. You are a downright genius, Steve.
Hey thanks Jim - glad you enjoyed the vid! 🙏🏼
Its perfect for weekend noodling
The perfect pastime! Thanks for watching 🎸
Excellent !
Merci !
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Great stuff here !!!
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow this is super helpful learning how to apply those diminished lines to liven up pentatonics. Really appreciate this! Liked and subscribed!
Glad you liked it!! Cheers! 🎸🙌🏼
Beautiful lines man. Very lucid.
Thanks very much Sanjay! 🙌🏼
I love the diminished tonality , keep em comin , liked
Great stuff - I will! Thanks 🙏🏼
Just what I needed, thanks!
Great stuff - thanks William!
This was probably one of the best guitar lesson videos I've seen on CZcams for a while - Fantastic video. The concept was really well explained and has motivated me to get some practice in today! Subscribed and looking forward to more content.
Superb! Very glad to have inspired you 💪🏼🎸
Thank You.
You're welcome!
Love it ❤
Awesome - great to hear! 🙌🏼🤘🏻🎸
Your lessons are amazing. Very clearly explained, great examples and ideas. I've been a full time touring pro for about 25 years now but I've learned a lot from your videos. Even concepts I feel relatively well versed in I've found you often make me think of things in a different way. Thank you so much for doing what you do how you do it!
Thanks so much Brent - comments like yours give me a huge amount of energy to keep doing it! 💪🏼
Hi Steve! When I heard Robben for the first time, the same thing happened to me as you did. I love that extra flavor that he achieves in his playing! .Thank you so much for this information! I have already subscribed to your channel.
Greetings from Mar del Plata, Argentina!
That's great Pablo! Thanks for the sub! 🙌🏼🎸
Nice lesson.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
very well done.thank you
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Dear Steve, thank you so much mate! It is such a wonderful practise the diminished scale. THANKS 4 YOUR KIND EFFORTS! I think I have to sleep over it and try tomorrow morning with a fresh mind. What a great soung! I LOVE IT🥰
You are very welcome Michael! Yeah it's a great scale! 💪🏼
Great video, very well explained. I have a diploma in Jazz/Fusion and am a huge Robben Ford fan for the exact same reasons you stated in the intro of your video. Also love Don Mock for the very same reasons. Great job, subscribed!
Awesome - thanks! Yeah I've got a couple of Don Mock books - he's the don in more ways than one!
Terrific video - really interestsing and well-taught. The dominant 7b9 👉dim7 relationship is powerfully-useful and a great sound too, to my ear. Thanks.
very kind words - thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you Steve, very good content here!
Cheers Markus! 🙏🏼
Thank You! I dig it.
Great to hear! Thanks a lot 😄
Robben Ford, Scott Henderson, you cover my fav guitar players, thank you!
Awesome! You're very welcome! 😄
I really like these licks!
Glad you like them Jerry - thanks for watching! 🎸
@@SteveAllsworth
Steve,
Not kidding, Ive been playing for 30 years....I take lessons from famous players quite often, I was on the road with a very well known guitarist under Steve Vai's label (favored nations) in the early 2000's, and I'll tell you that how you present this material is excellent. Keep going!
Awesome man - sounds great - JH by any chance?
@@SteveAllsworth
Yes. I was in the Hiland band....I played on the second album as well.
Very cool - he's an absolute monster! 🎸
Thanks Steve. This is something I’ve been looking for for a long time. Your explanation is very clear.
I only wish I’d been capable of learning more of what you taught 20 odd years ago at ACM.
Ooof! 20 years - well I'm glad it was of use now 💪🏼😄
Great video. Sometimes you find things at the right moment. You just gave me one. Auguri.
That's awesome! 🙌🏼
Awesome guitar playing!!! And great T-Shirt (Loaves & Fishes) 😉
Thank you kindly! 🙌🏼
EXCELLENT!!!!!!
Thank you chef! 😃
NICE !!!!!!
Cheers to you! 😄
Thank You!!!!!!

Fantastic lesson 👍🎸 glad to have found your channel, I'm subbed! Best to you!
Awesome! Thanks so much for coming on board! 😄
Outstanding video. I'm almost up to understanding most of this. Now to get it under my fingers.
@hachewie Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the challenge 🎸
@@SteveAllsworth I am having a go but I'm very slow,
I really like this. Right now I understand aprox 5% but I like it and it feels right. Been on a learning journey for 2 years. After 40 years of playing I better start to understand a bit of what I do and why. You have a really good and nice way of presenting things. Thanks :-)
That's really awesome to hear - and 5% is a step in the right direction! Thanks for the kind words 😄
I couldn’t subscribe fast enough. Thank you!
Ah that's great John - welcome aboard! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
wow, It felt I am born again, thanks!
That's so cool - glad I could help! 🙌🏼
@@SteveAllsworth big help, thanks
