Demystifying Diminished Chords

J Stearns, who recently subscribed asked, "I'm interested in learning how to be more creative with my playing.  I've played for roughly 35 years, but I don't feel as though I've ever really met my true potential.  I do play with feeling, rather than just mechanically, but I think I can still take it to another level with improvising and just a better overall knowledge of how to make a song sound fuller.
I'm very eager to see just what you can show me in this area.
"

It's a tough question to answer, especially without having heard him play but I've just posted a new 4 minute video sharing a few ideas on the topic. I hope it helps many of you out there who already have a fairly solid foundation in improvisation but are just seeking a few new ideas to get you past your current point.

The video is about 4 minutes long (20MB) so please be patient as it loads. You'll find it on the Media page along with other clips and articles.

Hi,

You mentioned that you've posted a new 4 min
video (20MB) in your media page, but I don't see
any new stuff there. The stuff I found are old ( but excellent, of course :) ). So which new one are you referring to ?
cheers,
jay
