In this lesson I cover two ways to think about improvisation: simplifying and expanding. Barry has created a set of scales that helps codify this way of thinking. I will cover these scales and the different approaches to improvisation and by the end of this lesson your mind will be open to more possibilities than just playing the chord your improvising over.

Here is PART 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJTKo3eliLdnZqs At 4:32, 4:52 and 6:04 the F dim maj7 chord is F B E G# not F Bb EB G#. This is a typo, thanks for your understanding. I am playing the correct chord however.

This was the common way to harmonise music in the 1930s. Barrie certainly revived and taught it, but most musicians and band leaders used the approach way back.

​@@NoteSmokinghi, if you get hold of some sheet music from that era, you'll find most of the underlying chords are major and minor sixths (not 7ths or 9ths), while the dominant chords are either triads or more often diminished 7ths. Also really good to listen to the sounds from that time and you pick it up quickly. There are a lot of original recordings on KZbin now (Casa Loma, Count Basie, Memphis 5, red hot peppers, Django Reinhardt) Hope that helps.

Barry would wholeheartedly agree with this. I don’t think he ever claimed provincial ownership of any of this material, his own description of his musical lineage always began with Chopin and ended with Bird. He codified a method to teach and connect various concepts weaving into the music traditions he held in the highest regard.

WOW! You've just blown my mind. I was 60 last week. I have an MA in Compositional Skills, have played and studied music since being 10 and I'd never heard of Barry Harris. That's the great thing about music.....it's as infinite as the universe itself. This answers so many questions I've had over the years when listening to the greats of bebop like Charlie Parker......where did those 'funny notes' come from? I'm going to go and now do some in-depth study on Barry and his teachings. My own compositions gravitate to pop and rock music more, but music is music and I've always loved jazz but never felt at home with those 'funny notes'. Your great video hits it on the head when talking about 'tension' and 'release'....all great music does this, whatever the genre. Thanks for one of the greatest music lessons of my life.

Starting on the M7 and moving up the 6th dim scale, you get very nice chords, since each chord is mixing up notes from the diminished chord (tension) and notes from the 6 chord (resolution).

Strange, misleading, and confusing names like the super locrian mode are attached. Your take on the matter? If stumped, so is Adam Manese, and Bateao ( spelling?). Maybe Barry Harris himself has no answer.

lost first time: why is the first chord a major 6?
@NathanBortonMusic
@NathanBortonMusic Жыл бұрын
Hi Stan, this is because that's the sound this scale is based off of. You'll notice that in the video I take a major 6th chord and run it through Barry's scale. This creates two chords, the I and the V (the V is the diminished chord). The main point of the first part is that you can simplify basic chord progressions, a ii-V-I for example, into one sound based around Barry's scale. So instead of playing a line that covers all the sounds of a ii-V-I, you could instead play a line that switches back and forth from I to V (diminished). If you watch the first part it does explain this. The second part of the video I talk about expanding a sound. I did this by taking a MAJOR 7 chord and moving it through Barry's scale. This creates 7 different sound that you can play over one chord (the chord you started with).

major diminished scale is just the bebop scale.

It’s conceptually very, very different! the Ab/G# is not a chromatic passing note, it’s an essential note for the harmony.

The way you teach it's still difficult for a beginner to understand, maybe with tabs might be easier....

Hello, thanks for your comment! As you can see from watching this video, it is not targeted at beginner audiences. I do, however, have videos that would be great for beginners. I've left you a great video linked below! Also there is TAB for all the examples in the corner of the screen :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/faWaYqWGms6HnrM

Oh dear! Sing it. If you aint singing it, don’t play it. All this stuff is left brain. No one I admire does any of this. The scaffold is not the building. It’s sort of interesting, but it’s not inspired, it’s not jazz - whatever that means. 😵‍💫🥴🤨

I think you’d be surprised how many jazz players do this. Also I’d encourage you to expand your view of what jazz is.

Believe me, I'm not surprised at all. Post Berlkey has, in my humble opinion seen a rise in left-brain analysis. None of my heroes did any of this. These's nothing wrong with it, per se. I'm 70 with many thousands of gigs behind me: Swing, American Songbook, Honky Tonk, Soul, R&B, Blues. I hear young players all the time, and I can almost hear them thinking. That's ok, but it's just a start. If you teach them to sing what they play and fill their BAG, they will eventually be able to play what they sing. All the best to you and yours @@NathanBortonMusic

@@realchords8999 definitely agree! I think a lot of players don’t hear what they play, they just play it. Where I get a little sad is when people say something isn’t jazz because it is not a direct rip of birds language. Many players use theory to help them understand and hear new sounds. Peter Bernstein is a great example of someone who plays with the spirit of the blues and tradition, while also works with sounds other than bebop (not that I don’t like bebop, I honestly love it). If doing things like this helps open your ears to new sounds, then maybe one day you WILL be able to honestly hear it and organically incorporate it into your voice.

Yes Nathan. Forgive me. I was trying to be constructive. I really thing singing everything you play makes it natural and allows the musician to own it, so to speak. Cheers@@NathanBortonMusic
