Hey man love your playing. I'm stuck on one of your concepts from your book Barry Harris Harmonic Method for guitar. Some one taught me the chords for the drop 2 major 6 diminished scale but I'm confused on why it's called drop 2. If you could enlighten me then I would be very grateful as it would give me a better understanding of this beautiful scale

Thanks for your kind comments. The Drop Voicing is explained on page 2 under Voicings with illustrations. All the best.

I understand the drop 2 the second highest note an octave but on page 6 the chordal scale says the voicings are drop 2 when the root chord is C G A E. I don't understand how this is drop 2. Thanks for putting up with me

Am I right in saying that it is the drop 2 of the second inversion of C6 which is the same as Amin7 drop 2?

[@alankingstone2464]

All C6 chords are Ami7 chords. Don't get hung up on Drop 2 / Drop 3 etc. Learn the shapes.

Okay, thanks for you advice man. Appreciate it
