Example Twenty Two |
The first chord in this progression
is Am7 flat 5, over which you see voicings from the C minor 6 diminished scale.
These resolve to the E flat m6/D7 on the fourth beat, and then on to the Dmaj6/Gmaj7.
This serves to illustrate that you don't have to wait until the dominant chord
to start creating movement with your voicings.

Example Twenty Three |
Another twist to the borrowed tone
idea: Since the diminished 7th chord represents four dominant 7th chords, why
not "borrow" the root of one of those dominants for use in a diminished
7th voicing? When it creates a major 7th with the dropped note of the voicing,
it can be most effective, as you see with the E in the second voicing, the D flat
in the fourth, the B flat in the sixth, and the G in the eighth. |
 |
Example Twenty Four |
Why not borrow two dominant roots
for the same diminished chord? As you can see on beat two, the first voicing has
an E and a B flat, which are roots of two of the four dominant 7th chords related
to the diminished chord of this scale. They resolve upwards to the full diminished
7th chord on the second half of the beat. As the pattern continues down the C
major 6 diminished scale, note that nice, crunchy major 7th sound that happens
before the borrowed tones resolve to the diminished 7th. |
