Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers questions from off of his Guitar Blog website...
Q). I've read how there are ways to make the Diminished Scale sound Bluesy. Unfortunately, none of the forums, or the apps I've got for my iPad explain exactly, "how," to make Diminished Scale sound Bluesy! Nor, are there any explanations for which Diminished Scale you'd use over a Blues in like the key of maybe, "F." Could you put up a lesson or a blog post on this? Thank you.

A). There are several ways that we can use the Diminished Scale to sound Bluesy. The easiest way is to directly blend it in off of the same root of the key that you're working within. For example, if you were perhaps jamming on a typical 12-Bar Blues in the key of, "A," then you can simply blend the notes of the, "A Diminished Scale," along with the notes of, "A Blues Scale." Another cool idea is to blend scales off of the Major third of any Dominant 7th chord. This means if you wanted to play the Diminished Scale off of an, "F Dominant 7th chord," you can select the major 3rd from the Dominant chord and utilize it as the root of the Diminished. In the case of an, "F 7," the note of, "A," is the Maj. 3rd, so therefore you can play the, "A Diminished," over the, "F 7." In the video I examine how the Diminished Scale looks upon the fret-board, and then we'll try blending a few lines into some guitar licks for practice.
As always, Thanks for writing in!
