Diminished
The Diminished scale is not so much a mode as an arpeggio
based on the diminished 7 chord, in which the interval between
each note is a minor 3rd. Although it is not strictly a mode
it can be used in soloing as with other modes.
The diminished scale is usefull over altered V chords
leading to a I chord in a minor key, as with the super locrian.
However, it can also be used over dominant 7 chords in a major
key in some situations.
Because the interval between each note of the diminished
scale is a minor 3rd, the scale has much symmetry which can be
used as an advantage when repeating and moving the pattern up
the neck of the guitar.
Tip: When using the diminished scale over a 7 chord,
start on any note of the diminished scale from either the
lowered 2nd, major 3rd, 5th or lowered 7th note of the 7
chord.
