I have tons of great lessons at Master Guitar Academy. Join me there - it's where you can learn with me every week. That's also where all my DVDs and Premium Downloads are.

This lesson is about a figure based on the Diminished scale. This scale is one I love. It is symmetrical, so any idea you play based on it can be move up in minor Thirds (3 frets on the fretboard). There is a lot of uses for this scale, and in this example, it creates a Rockabilly style sound, partly because of the quick tempo and the boogie-woogie style rhythm guitar.
I used a Line 6 JM4 looper pedal, great tool for practicing with.
If you have not yet tried the web site JamPlay, you need to check it out. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive. So much good material to learn from.
