Anton LaVey?

Say his name!

[@jessepinkman7349]

Yo Mr. White. Thanks for teaching me the art of a certain “meth”odology in the chemistry of music yo. I’m still working on how to make that “blue”note sound as great as yours. Keep up the great work yo.

[@landofold]

Wow. This chromatic idea is like the ultimate "instant bebop" concept I've ever heard. Really powerful and not hard to understand at all!

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

...And falls beautifully on Guitar.

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

This video alone is like a months worth of woodshedding that is a game changer. Thanks, man.

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

It took me a while to get it together. I'm still working on it.

[@rupertlay7684]

Wow wow wow!!!, I cannot thank you enough for sharing this. I know Sir Barry Harris is a genius...this is very gracious of you, you have set me free...i can see (hear) things way better now, thank you thank you thank you...thank you

[@RUNNOFT71]

Just found your channel, and I'm glad I did. Because you have an easy way of explaining things. Thanks man and great playing.

[@MikeL-7]

Thanks for this video. It really made a difference to my practice routine, no shying away from those chromatic lines ever again! 🙏

[@dennis_johnson]

Been having so much fun practicing this! Can't thank you enough!

[@thormusique]

Thanks again for sharing all this brilliance! I find myself coming back to this video again and again, both for information and for inspiration. As a guitarist myself, I especially appreciate it. Many years ago I tried learning from so many different methods and found myself utterly confused and not knowing where to begin and exactly what to practice. And much of what I did practice didn't sound particularly inspiring, no matter how "perfectly" I played it. But you're so right! Even these chromatic exercises you played, simply working your way through Barry's scale sound so hip and inspiring. Best of all, this is material you can keep learning and building from all your life. So beautiful. Cheers!

[@DizzyKrissi]

I hear these kind of lines in bebop music all the time but I didn't ever think about it this way and never expected it as being such an easy rule which basically can be explained in one sentence - a real eye-opener. Thank you very much for this.

[@SRWatcher]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this topic. I definitely have some more great fundamentals to now add to my practicing routine. Great instruction on this!

[@rjmoney9]

What a fantastic video. You’ve got a great ability in showcasing your knowledge in an intelligible way.

[@zenncatt]

You've inspired me to dig out Roni Ben-Hur's book and go through it again. It's inspiring to find Barry's students that have absorbed his teaching and the creative freedom that comes from it. Great video. Liked and subscribed. Thank you!

[@antixdobrasil]

Very enlightening content. Feels like playing a maze game with and against myself when I try to make new melodies. Thanks for sharing this knowledge

[@harlanvale1899]

This is amazing! As a free improviser, this is the simple yet powerful route back to the harmonic center. Greatly appreciate you and Barry for sharing this concept and demonstrating it so well.

[@zaqintosh]

You are a wonderful teacher! I can’t believe I haven’t stumbled on your videos until now, thank you

[@S7REULI]

man... this is amazing. thank you soooo much for sharing this with the world

[@dave9497]

This is one of the best videos on jazz that I have ever watched on KZbin. The reason I say this is because a musician can get wrapped around the axle dealing with only rules, not that they are not essential, but I believe what is more important and critical to mastering jazz, is HEARING.

[@williamlewis6615]

One of the best videos you have done Chris this answered so many of my questions

[@TxShoreDog84]

Well relayed and played. Thanks for this share.

[@Keys_To_Clarity]

I started this concept a couple years ago and stopped. Guess I'm back 😅 thank you. 🙏🏾 And much respect for your tone. You drove home the frustration of these limitations with immaculate composure 👌🏽

[@jkaznosky]

What a great companion piece to your original video describing this topic. While the lines you play are gold, it's the conception of being able to play any of the scale notes and utilizing other BH techniques which really make this practical. It gives the gift of coming up with your own lines and sounding good, without sounding specifically like you or anyone else. There is freedom and flexibility in this. Thanks again, Chris. This stuff is changing my playing in a good way.

[@wobamusic]

This is pure as gold...thanks a lot for sharing...it opened a huge door for me in a few moments...and as if you say it shows tons of choices...all thumbs up and regards from Germany...stay save

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

Thank you Wolfgang. More to come.

[@TypingHazard]

I don't think I could even play chromatic lines that I liked until I found your videos about BH's chromatic scale. It basically changed me overnight. And there's so much to explore with it. Best part about all this material is how deep everything runs. You could take one of these ideas - half step rules, 6th diminshed scales, this rhythmic chromatic scale - and you could probably just play with one idea for your life and not run out of things to discover. Truly deep stuff.

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

Yes. Barry's stuff is the deepest.

[@dylangoldman2310]

You're a great teacher, thanks for this lesson!

[@teddyrondinelli7047]

Beautiful playing. Best explained Thank you you're amazing

[@feedbackbro]

This is soooo good!! Genius and beautiful lines going every which way. I mean...it is prescriptive in and of itself but there are so many ways to go with it. Thanks so much for this. I'll definitely have to practice a lot to be able to implement it without having to think but....it will be well worth it.

[@maxcase7347]

This was fantastic. I’ll be doing a lot of shedding over this stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@jacholas330]

Wow, that chromatic scale feels like it’s opened so many doors for me. Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@jkaznosky]

And to the folks coming in who are bitten by the bug, take a lesson with Chris. He put me on a really good path for understanding my instrument better and making sense out of things that I've struggled with for years.

[@MichaelNeverisky]

What a refreshing point of view! The demo lines sound like music to me. Excellent video, as usual.

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

Thank you Michael.

[@PowMusic]

Great to see your channel growing!! 🎸

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

Thanks Gary. I appreciate it.

[@alessioborsch8583]

WOW, thank you. How guitar player can be very good guitarist but not good teacher... it happens often. With you it seems interesting, not boring, clear... compliments

[@astorina]

Nice for sharing with us ! Thx from belgium

[@j.r.goldman3279]

Beautiful Scale Thank you . Great runs from itl.

[@rosewood_ca]

Your Language is stupid good. I love everything about this video. Amazing teaching, thank you for this.

[@mckmurkles]

After trying to get my head round jazz improv for a good while. After watching your video I picked up my violin and had a wow moment and the flood gates swung wide open. Thank you.

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

What an ego free presentation of a revolutionary concept. So good. 🙏❤️ the amount of times you said beautiful was telling too.

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

It's hard to have an ego when you're in a class taught by Barry. We're all in awe.

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

@@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616 you’re honoring his legacy beautifully. Thank you for introducing me to these incredible ideas.

[@navarion479]

This video literally changed my thinking, I was so stuck on chord tones. I wish they had taught this when I was studying jazz in college.Thank you!!!

[@thehoodedvagabum7375]

That´s good. The problem with learning the chord tones or the passages to get there, is that you basically sound exactly the same as everyone.

[@samsonolasunkanmi4814]

These lessons are for advanced Jazz players not beginners even intermediate will struggle. Thank you alot I can now understand the barry

[@milesyalzin2018]

I thought I had to learn arpeggios up and down and that'll it take me years to actually play anything jazzy. This is amazing, I'll practice it immediately.

[@alistaircornacchio5727]

Absolutely fantastic

[@Bruingebak]

Brilliantly demonstrated. Thanks a mill.

Youre a great teacher.

[@jameslesperance1]

It just does not end! Barry’s method truly is exciting, it shows that the guitar has yet to be fully explored. The possibilities are overwhelming!

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

Exactly right James.

[@djmileski]

Thanks for this great lesson

Thank you for the effort to spreading the truth out. I am chasing Barry's footsteps and your videos are so helpful... Magnificent inside from the source...

So powerful concept. Thanks again ;-) !

[@champanachampana4881]

Hi Chris. I just got through listening to an interview you did this past february.. The thing I got the most out of all of it, though l view some of your videos, is how musical the examples that you gave were. I could clearly see the context of all that you share. I never really got that from your videos. I even heard the jazz in the examples that you were giving. Personally, I don't like to work with rock musicians that now play jazz. I had difficulties getting around the sounds on the guitars that you used. Then the acoustic guitar really made a big difference for me. All I am saying is, of all your videos, I got the most from the interview, because there was a musical context that I could understand. Thank you so very much for those examples. By the way, my cousin is the bass player with Ronnie Ben Hur. Santi. Thanks for sharing. Please don't stop.

[@igorsimic4736]

Thanks a lot, a lot ! for sharing your experience with us, and for your very clear and simple explanations, it's a huge help and each video is like a gift ! Greetings from Paris (France). Definitely the best jazz guitar youtube channel and more generally about music, in my opinion. I never leave comments but I had to do it this time.

Hey Chris, Long time. Listening to you warmed my heart. I will be following you. I hear Barry when you speak. I know you stopped talking to me after what did and didn't happen with Barry and me. Barry and I still maintained a relationship for many years after. Thank you for this site, Peace and Love Jesse.

Very interesting, it's been a while I was looking for sthing interesting because seeking for the heart and soul of the Music. Thank you

[@yonathansem]

this is what i called music lesson. So profound, this is what musician really need. Many guitar guru in youtube spitting out BULLSHIT, coz actually they are youtuber, not a musician, and they only think about how to get a viral content.

It feels a very organic and a real way to build jazz solos on a fly using some brain work instead of playing 16 note lick from jazz books) Great! I'm subscribe

thanks for sharing.. this is mind blowing.. : )

[@aureliotarallo5290]

This is very interesting, thanks for sharing

[@TheRealSandleford]

After seeing some of the videos in order I get it about the title here. I see how this is working already to kind of set you up to naturally land on the target notes.

[@chaiayling9831]

couldn't say it better myself great observation to critique those target note rules !!!!

[@frankvaleron]

Great explanation thanks, subscribed
