Mark Wein Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 This week I am giving you the first application for the diminished chords that we learned last week: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/content.php?485-Lick-of-the-Week-Diminished-Chords! This is a lick or idea that I probably overuse when I play blues. The idea is that on the 6th measure of a 12 bar blues (the second measure of the IV chord) I like to superimpose a diminished chord or lick a half step higher than the IV chord. So if the IV chord is a D7 then I'll play a D# diminished idea in that measure and it gives me a nice way to make a tension that wants to resolve in the I chord. The music in this lesson has three variations of the lick and one rhythm or "comping" idea that I stole from a Kirk Fletcher video a few months ago [video=youtube;P5OmR_WgNGM] Click here for a printable version of this lesson.
