In this video you learn about the secret ingredient to Jimmy Herring's amazing jazzy blues licks and ripping guitar solos! LESSON PDF ▶▶ patreon.com/yourguitarworkshop SINGLE DONATIONS ▶▶ yourguitarworkshop.com/donate

Jimmy Herring is in a special category of musicians who are really creative in building their blues solos. Where some just start to play faster licks to build tension, Jimmy has an arsenal of tricks and ways to create more colour and texture in his solos. In this lesson we look at how he uses the diminished dominant scale (one of the 2 diminished scales) and how he used it to build his solo in Matt's funk ( youtube.com/watch?v=Fau1dnLWTLA ).

As mentioned in the video, Rick Beato did a few very helpful videos on the diminished scale. There's so much material in that scale and Rick Beato sums it up really nicely in the following video:
