I've seen/heard diminished concepts described dozens of times before, but Steve is an "outside the box" thinker, and comes up with interesting and unique applications and insights. <br /> <br /> Very clearly explained, with tons of patterns and lines to learn. I especially liked the section on resolution from every step in the scale. This is one of my favorite classes so far.
