I am loving the Barry Harris content. Thanks+

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Thanks James! There’s so many good Barry Harris concepts!

[@miket.5258]

Praise for this video and I'm listening to the new CD now and loving it! Keep it coming.

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Wow mike, thanks so much! If you like Gregg hills music make sure to check out other artists that have performed his work. (Michael Dease, Randy Napoleon, Rodney Whitaker. You might also like my pervious CD “Each Step.” Thanks for your support!

[@jimmychi6193]

Great lesson! Never thought of using the minor concept! Nice!

[@shanehen]

Pat Martino taught this as Parental Forms. In the same way, Augmented triads produce "related" major and minor triads by lowering and raising each note.

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Yes! This method just leaves out the augmented part of it honestly. I actually did a video on pats method: Transform Your Playing: Pat Martino’s Quantum Guitar Method kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZDFoaNqZsechsk

[@frankvaleron]

Love the pimped up production values and the content

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Thanks frank! Just wanted to get the videos looking as good as I can make them along with good content! Appreciate your support

[@acwatercolors]

Always simply explained and well illustrated. Thanks, this is brilliant(love the minor ideas D-7 Bb-7 A-7)

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Glad you liked it! I love that sound too! For some reason that's easier for me to think about as well

[@acwatercolors]

Yes great alternative to the classic way of thinking 2-5-1, as Am7 is C6 equivalent. Now need to change the D-7, maybe with a F6, so we could have a new kind of "2-5-1" cadence as F6/Bb-7/A-7 😛

[@christianquartenoud4676]

Great video, I already was aware of dominant familiarity, was also aware of the sound of it when i liste to solo. But having a real practical approach and some the examples encourages me to work on this topic (that i was finding overwhelming so far). Thank you Nathan🌻 P.S. : those different triads over dominant chords sound a bit like some Jimmy Raney line to me (a bit of diminished ). Really love it :)

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Thanks Christian! Really appreciate you watching and even happier that it helped you out! and yeah for sure about Jimmy, great call

[@cakrabuana01]

I have a problem about how to improvise when comes to chord changes. Please, Help me out sir

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Hello! For that I would recommend transcribing a jazz solo (grant green cool blues) and taking those lines and use them over the same progressions. I’ll do a video on this soon! In the meantime, check out my other videos that could possibly help you with this!

[@cakrabuana01]

So good.. Thank you so much.

[@enricosenno7767]

Hey where did you get these info? Did Harris write a method? Cheers

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Hi! I don't know if Barry wrote a book really, but a lot of his teachings are out in the world. For example, I knew about this concept from my studies with Tia Fuller (she was the first to tell me about it), Randy Napoleon, and Steve Kolvacheck. Also, there are videos of Barry teaching directly on KZbin that are very educational. Often times he took what jazz musicians were already doing and made it very easy to understand and other times he made his own concepts that changed jazz music.

[@Brassglassman]

Amazing!

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@李承洋-w1s]

Nice video

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Thanks so much! and thanks for watching

[@frenchfry1342]

Love the Sound of the Bb-7 over G7. Do you also consider the family of Dominant work as m7 chords ascending in m3's. IE: the Dominant and m7 chords are interchangeable in the dominant family. This does add a fun set of Dominant chords starting on each note of a diminished scale when using both combined, but I more enjoy the sound of each family to its own, either the dominants with their ii or the new m7 treated as as ii with it's accompanying V. I was only asking because of the ii V I example you switched to the Bbm7 instead of just a Bb7.

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Yes! They both work. The first half of the video I covered the dominant versions then on the last second part I covered the minor version. Sometimes you will get notes that don’t quite “work” but you can always find easy ways to resolve them. Hope this video helped you come up with some more ideas!

[@Campbell_Jazz]

Recently saw your channel and am digging the content! You also get a great sound on video. Do you go direct out from your Blu into an interface?

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Thanks so much! Appreciate that. As far as my sound goes I goes through some outboard gear then into my interface, and after that I mix it down in logic. I have listened in the video description alot of the gear that I use!

[@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743]

What are your thoughts on just bypassing all those “how to” Barry Harris bebop videos and just transcribe Ike the masters did?

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Yep! That's the best option. How I learned about this was transcribing and mentorship. I think I always try to put out quality content for people, but they won't truly understand a concept unless they hear it first, thus transcribing is always a good choice.

[@Bronson-Apollo]

56bpm?

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Are you referring to the Etude tempo? If so I think that’s at 100pm.

[@ili626]

I wonder if anyone else has had this experience: I discovered this knowledge on my own many years ago - way before I ever heard of Barry Harris. I was just writing tunes by ear before knowing any theory and messing with dim7 chords and figured it out. I’ve made many other discoveries like this, and in years since, see them pop up occasionally on YT etc. It’s a weird experience. Can anyone else relate to this?

[@sandrobraga4054]

Shooooow

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Not sure what this means but I’ll take it as a compliment haha! Thanks!

[@davidsheriff9274]

This is Pat Martino's thing too, it's almost exactly the same.

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Yes! I was reading a bit of his guitar fundamentals book and it's so similar. Goes to show that everything is connected!
