Diminished Exercise

By T. D. Clark

I am back after a long hiatus!

Here is a string skipping diminshed run that is the first solo section from the song EL AVE on my latest CD, Next Big Adventure. I harmonize it in minor 3rds on the CD, but here is the main melody part. It ends with a single string diminished run right into an arpeggio. Start slow and get the shape down first. It actually moves rather easily once this is accomplished.
There is an example on www.myspace.com/tdclark in the video section in which you can see how to play it and hear it in actual time.

Cheers and keep those metronome's clicking!
