Episode 0.1: Welcome to the Labyrinth

Hello! This the first of a set of introductory "primer" videos. Rather than being detailed discussions of a particular technique, with accompanying pdfs, these are meant to provide a general overview, and are an informal attempt at talking about chromaticism, sharing some of the underlying principles.
There is an interesting bit of common ground between what Barry Harris teaches and the concepts shared in Dmitri Tymoczko's "Geometry of Music". In these primer videos, I briefly gloss over some of this, and I'll return to it in later episodes. Tymoczko's geometries give us insight into why Barry's methods work so well, by helping us to visualize chromatic pitch space!
If you feel like these primer vids could use some sort of PDF, please let me know, and I'll do my best to provide anything that helps to clarify things.
The Labyrinth of Limitations app, for exploring all of these concepts in a fun, educational, and inspiring way, can be found here:

And this is your Welcome, 0.1 episode! This is going to be steep learning curve. I fell down the KZbin rabbit hole only to find myself in the Labyrinth of Limitations.

Very cool. The subtitles are hilarious. “Hate it Villa Lobos “ etc

@@TheLabyrinthofLimitations it's an automatic translator, watch and read it, it's kind of funny at times

[@SeanMcCannMusic]

would have liked it twice if i could!

[@bernardoe.c.5392]

pat martino has the same ideas from the diminished (moving one note at the time up and the down to get different chords) and from the augmented chord

[@TheLabyrinthofLimitations]

A lot of things Barry taught seem the same to something else until you follow it past the introductory steps. Moving notes up or down from a diminished or augmented chord has been discussed by a lot of people. It’s the way Barry has organized it, and the thoroughness of his approach, that is really unique
