    The document discusses how musical lines and chords can be sequenced up or down by minor thirds using the structures of the diminished scale and dominant seventh chords. Dominant seventh structures and lines combining dominant sevenths with scalar motion can be sequenced up a minor third. Chord voicings may also be sequenced by minor thirds to give comping instruments more options over dominant chords.

    This line is created through a combination of perfect fourths, linked with descending scalar passages:

    Any shape which fits into the structure of the diminished scale may be sequenced up or down by minor thirds. Here, dominant seventh structures are sequenced in this way:

    ...and here, a line comprised of a dominant seventh structure followed by scalar motion, is sequenced up a minor third before resolving:

    As with melodic lines, chord voicings may be sequenced by minor thirds. This affords comping instruments a greater vocabulary over dominant chords:
