✨ COMBINE THESE TWO THINGS FOR A MAGICAL SOUND 🎸
Take a simple major triad and combine it with a diminished scale pattern:
Whole Step → Half Step → Whole Step → Half Step
But instead of playing the diminished scale as individual notes, move the entire major triad through that pattern.
Now the harmony continually changes keys as it moves, creating this really cool, almost magical sound that immediately breaks you out of the ordinary.
I’ve used this idea for solos, improvisation, songwriting, and key changes. If your solo or progression starts feeling stagnant, try moving the entire harmony across a scale pattern instead of just searching for different notes.
It’s one of those sounds we hear in music and wonder:
“How did they come up with that?”
There’s a process, and this is one of them. 🤯
I also use this concept with diminished 7th chords, moving them in minor thirds. I’ll break that one down in another video!
