LIVE FROM FLAT V by Josh Smith
DIMINISHED RETURNS
Over the last few months, we explored the use of chromaticism within the blues as part of a three-tiered approach that Josh Smith likes to use to connect one chord to the next in a blues progression, namely, chromaticism, diminished phrases and ii – V – I (two-five- one) turnarounds. This month, we will focus on diminished 7 chords, which we’ll refer to simply as diminished.
