@martin_uherek: The diminished scale isn’t the while story. This lick uses a repeating diminished-scale structure, moving down by minor thirds. But two things give it that bebop character: → accents every 3 notes → chromatic enclosures The result is a repeating six-note idea that stays connected to the diminished scale while creating a much more bebop-like rhythmic and melodic feel. 🎷 Want the full lick? I wrote it out in all 3 diminished positions, with each version mapped to its corresponding dominant chords — 12 dominants in total. full PDF → martinuherek.gumroad.com/l/killer-diminished-lick/ #DiminishedScale #JazzSaxophone #JazzImprovisation #JazzLick #JazzEducation
