Diminished Concepts

 

Over a G7, functioning as the V chord in the key of C, you can play these diminished scales to go out.  Notice each one gives a slightly different feel.

G Half Whole Diminished 1-e2/e9-#2/#9-3-#4/e5-5-6-e7 this would be the most common.

G Whole Half Diminished 1-2-#2/#9-3-4-#4/e5-#5-6-7

G# Half Whole Diminished e2/e9-2-3-4-5-#5-e7-7

G# Whole Half Diminished e2/e9-#2/#9-3-#4/e5-5-6-e7-8

Therefore you can play these diminished scales over any dominant chord as well as any dominant's ii chord.  Practice these formulas over a ii V to get use to their "feel" or sound.

Practice playing in key and then out using each of these diminished concepts.
