This series is outrageously good; maybe even a historical archive.

You prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me.

I feel like I’ve just unlocked the 🔑 to the universe.

[@tuav]

Another great episode! You should put all these ideas and teachings into a book!

[@TheLabyrinthofLimitations]

man I love the way you're hitting the 4 scales of chords in this and the autumn leaves video. beautiful stuff and great feel, my friend

[@duncanharrison9475]

Your channels compliment each other's so well

[@JosephusDalrymple]

Each video I watch that you make produces a 'lightbulb' moment for me.

[@bilalyousuf7087]

Thanks a ton Chris. Would love to see you apply all Barry's scales of chords to comping over Rhythm Changes. Keep 'em coming!

[@chefsize]

This.

[@mikebryant4146]

Yes - a rhythm changes video would be greatly appreciated.

[@Web4Panama]

I was just noticing when playing with some blues that the rootless ninth is the same as a m6 chord and starting applying the BH dim 6 chords that I had learnt on this channel. I went searching you channel and found this lesson, just what I need this month. I remember that I had seen his before but it was probably above my head to grasp at the time and so other things that were easier to grasp jumped to the foreground. I'm really happy to have found it again. Thanks Chris.

[@unclenote]

Great stuff from Newfoundland Canada!

[@Datanditto]

Your videos are among the best Ive ever seen. Great teaching.

[@bayoubill3561]

Oh yeah. THANKS for posting this episode!

[@dinjescreativeartsprogram1134]

Fantastic! Thank you for posting

[@vincentbal335]

these are all great. thank you so much!

[@TheRealSandleford]

so true about good soloists, I love how tommy and wes do that on "Mr Walker"

[@kongoloh]

Thank you for posting ! Merci !

[@lucaseckrich4579]

Awesome, thanks a bunch Chris!

[@JoeAhmadGuitar]

Wow! Thanks for that insight into the 7b5

[@BenKolloch]

Brillant Chris!

[@Chris_music_channel]

I've mainly been just skipping around on your channel watching and trying some things when I can, I been going through Alan Kingstone's book on Barry Harris's methods. And also Barry Galbraith's famous book series volume 3 mainly on the comping. Glad I can reference to these videos anytime I feel like I'm getting stuck. Thanks Chris!

[@andycollenette2464]

Awesome 👍

[@johnpritchard9753]

Loved that. Thank you.

[@garthirving1056]

Brilliant...

[@spicespeculiar]

I just discovered your channel not too long ago. Thanks so much for passing it on! So much to practice haha

[@LA-cy1zj]

just the title of this sounds like something I have been looking for...

[@belectronix]

Dude! Fantastic video. Lots to digest here

[@rogerweafer2179]

In the first chord movement that you played there was a Beatle melody quote: I'll Follow The Sun...so much cool info that you're laying down. It requires a whole new mindset. I hope that your younger players can take this and change the (musical) world again soon.

[@bayoubill3561]

This stuff is great fun. I've been alternating keys as a daily 30 minute workout added to my practice sessions. I started working this material for about a month. It's an amazing sound. I have it under my fingers now. My neighbors love it when I go to my back yard to practice. Jamming with this as if I was in a 3 piece power blues band rocks

[@duncanharrison9475]

Nailed it on the power blues band, you could really fill out a sound with this approach

[@brunolaire7826]

merci pour ces vidéos !!

[@evelyncharlottejoe4238]

omg bless your heart

[@joshuamarks1129]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐To Raise the 11th or to Flat the 5th, that is the question! In any case, Fm6 and Bm6 scales both share E natural which is basically the defining characteristic of a Bb blues. And Edim7 could arguably be the most important harmony in a Bb blues.

[@andovideo]

useful information brother

[@tonyedwards4067]

brilliant insights! (corners)!? thx man.

[@CHDEXTER5]

Lowden!! O serie? I’ve got a F32c and I like it so much.

[@bluesorgtfo]

beautiful lesson Chris , thank you ! I would be interested to know how that translates in terms of soloing and impro

[@threetorches100]

Dig those contrary motions.

[@tylercooney]

Yeah dude

[@connshawnery6489]

First off, great approach on Barry’s teachings. Looks like it’s been a treasure trove of vocabulary and practice for you and thanks so much for passing it along. My only thought (and minor critique) would be that when you are playing examples, that they are rhythmically played in time. In your defence, you are whizzing through and packing a lot of great info into a short space covering a topic that is worthwhile, so I hope this does not come off negatively.

[@taylorfusion]

I’m not really feeling that, fwiw. I hear big band approaches and lines that are so well ingrained in the vernacular, that my ear is filling in any time discrepancies to make the point(s) quite solid. I dig the snippets he’s chosen actually. The best part is look at the ground he’s covering in just a short fret span with all the movements that literally, no one else is playing (on guitar), when they comp. It’s truly the best part of Barry’s method and certainly not lost on this instructor.

[@connshawnery6489]

@@taylorfusion That’s fair. Perhaps it’s just me then. In some of the examples I couldn’t place exactly how it was timed or where the one was.

[@taylorfusion]

@@connshawnery6489 Cool, enjoy learning this like I am. Lots to study

[@connshawnery6489]

@@taylorfusion Absolutely!

[@brandonlewisguitar]

Pat martino used to talk about perceiving all harmony from a minor standpoint. So Bb7:Dhalfdim: Fmin6 Eb7:Ghalfdim:Bbmin6 etc I think this theory is great for learning all the min6 inversions, although I’m a big advocate for relating any harmony or single lines to the original chord I’m playing to.

[@romainbertrand253]

Hi Chris, how do deal with the last 6 bars of a bebop version of the Bb blues ? (Dm-G7 / Cm-F7 / turnaround) ? Thanks in advance for your answer. Best. In all this scale/chord system, I definitely hear how a big band could arrange a blues. Very happy to discover that.

[@lassiterbenjamin]

The scales I think he would use would be: 1. Bb maj6 up 2. F7 up

[@jean-francoismercier5761]

barry harris always see things in 6th?

[@TheRealSandleford]

Hmm... If I raise the top two notes of the Bbdim I get that Bb7b5 You got there but if I raise the two bottom notes what is it? its a G7b5 I wonder if there is a relation somewhere there? I know if I raise just the top note of it I get that Bb6 you had.

[@guidemeChrist]

Why doesn't Barry talk about the 5th scale of chords, the Diminished - Diminished scale I know, it's funny because that's really just the diminished scale of chords but in my ears it's equally usable as the other 4

[@MrThepopopopo]

If you're talking about the Half-whole diminished scale, barry does mention it. That scale is the 4 notes of the diminished and the roots of the dominant chords that come from said diminished.
