This is CRUCIAL 15:27 - Bonus content for Robben Ford is one of my favourite blues guitar players and a trick that I learned from him years ago was his use of the half/whole diminished scale over blues progressions. Robben likes to use this scale to create tension over the I chord right before the chords change to the IV chord in a 12-bar blues. This scale is great for creating tension because it contains notes that are found outside of unaltered dominant 7th or major chords, which are the chord types most commonly played in 12 bar blues progressions. In this episode of Spicy Licks, I’m taking you through a Robben Ford inspired diminished blues lick that uses the half/whole diminished scale to create tension over the I chord. This tension is released as soon as the chords move to the IV chord and you land on the root of said chord. I always like to explain the theory behind the licks in this series, and so I’ll take you through a few key points that you’ll need to understand in order to execute this lick correctly as well as understand how it works. So, you’re going to learn about the construction of the half/whole diminished scale, what notes from this scale can truly be considered ‘outside’ in the context of a 12 bar blues, and we’ll also touch on timing - it’s absolutely crucial that you understand the timing of this lick because without that, you’ll have a hard time landing on the right notes at the right time.
