I just love the Dim scale. When I pick up the guitar, I often end up trying to create some interesting lines with the diminished scale, and there's seems to be an almost endless amount of cool sounding combinations you can come up. This is because the scale is symmetrical : half-step, whole-step - repeat...

I also find you can use this scale in lots of different ways, as long as you use with taste of course. I like using it over a minor chord (starting the scale with a whole step) and over dominant 7 chords (b9 and #9), starting with a half-step.

Any other diminished scale lovers out there?

I have a really cool dim lick coming soon to a video near you...
