Foundations 1.2: The Diminished Scale [Barry Harris Improvisational Method]

I'm so happy to have gotten such a positive response from Foundations 1. Our patreon community is really growing, and I'm having such a fun time developing this new online learning environment! For this episode, we are adding a 5th scale: the diminished scale!

I love your teaching style. I’ve been studying jazz guitar and harmony for a couple of years now and your approach to teaching is just what I need right now. Plus, the personality of your delivery is great for this - pace, tone of voice, repetition, showing us some context and not moving onto to quickly to the next concept. Subscribed.

Very very interesting…..I’ll be working on this for sure. Thank you for this.

Nice movements and explanation of the “connective tissue”. It’s remarkable how a little understated borrowing (especially on the off-chords) can make a simple scale of chords come alive.

Great you ecplained It perfectlt could you do a video where you talk a out the indioendency of voice on a ryhtmic level? It would be very interesting since you create the elevator for indioendency of the voices.

if I take the on diminished and lower the 2 lower notes that are a sixth apart there is a C6 now that is still on? and if I take the off diminished chord and lower the low note its a B7 now with just that it sounds very cool. Now with just different inversions of C6 and the other 3 dominant chords from the off diminished with them its a bit like the scale of chords ... sounds like a moody blues song called questions but now there is the one remaining diminished chord and that would be the one that goes with the actual C6 diminished chord scale.... Hmm But if on chord gets the top other 2 notes that are a sixth apart raised this is going to be a C#6 am I getting out of the subject? This would make the off chord be the correct sixth diminished scale though. In the other world, I see that whether its Cmaj6 or Am7 those four dominants are going to be the 2s and 4s and their tri-tones .... I did not realize that before or the 5s and 3s will be the normal scale of chords as well I guess just swapped for minor and major
