The diminished scale is a great option for when you want to bring a slightly more unusual flavour to your soloing. This lick shows you one way you might use the scale in a bluesy, rockabilly kind of context. I’ve written out in full the what I play at the start of the video, which is a full 12 bar blues chorus in E. But the lick that I’m mainly focussing on here is found in bars 5-7.
