LIVE FROM FLAT V by Josh Smith
DIMINISHED RETURNS, PART 2
Last month, we began our investigation into ways in which to incorporate diminished ideas into a blues solo. Our examples were based on a standard 12-bar blues progression in the key of A, and we made it from the I (one) chord, A6, to the IV (four) chord, D7, and back. This month, let’s continue by heading from the I chord to the V (five), E7, and back, using diminished 7 chord shapes, which we’ll refer to simply as diminished, as harmonic-melodic “bridges” between the primary chords.
