Stop Learning More ABOUT The Diminished Sound:
Start Using It!
Most jazz students stockpile info about diminished instead of actually using it.
Why?
Thinking feels safer than doing.
But if sounding good is the goal, action’s the only way in.
Everyone wants the stank face.
Nobody wants the reps.
No-Nonsense Diminished is for the few who are ready to buckle down and do the initial repetitive, simple, focused work that leads to real musical fluency.
The stuff that breeds total freedom that most aren't willing to do
The Power Of Action
If you’ve ever spent hours collecting PDFs, analyzing scale formulas, and watching videos that leave you more confused than confident…
Welcome.
No wizardry. No convoluted theory. No more waiting.
Just straight-up, action-based practice.
🎯 Guided sessions.
🎯 Essential Vocabulary.
🎯 Clear structure.
🎯 And repetition. Lots of it.
✅ You’ll build muscle memory.
✅ You’ll internalize the sound.
And eventually, you'll surprise yourself with how natural it starts to feel — like your subconscious is playing for you.
Here's What Happens
When you stop overthinking and start practicing:
✅ The diminished sound stops feeling “advanced” and starts feeling available
✅ You stop wondering if you're doing it right — and start hearing it show up in your solos
✅ You get that feeling — the one where you’re across the room, listening to yourself play, thinking: “Wait… that actually sounded good??”
No-Nonsense Diminished rewires your instincts.
Bit by bit, note by note, day by day.
(the way humans get better at anything)
Until diminished is no longer something you try to do… it's just something you do.
