Nice lesson!! Great that everyone is seemingly suddenly becoming aware of Barry’s methods. Robbie Barnby did a great video on this very subject as well. Thanks

[@tradingonly7099]

Nice lesson. Took me 20 tries to find a video to understand how to use it musically and you nailed it. Bravo!

[@RichieZellon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@darrellstyner0001]

This is the 3rd video I've watched on this topic, but the first time I understood it. You're explanation is very clear and concise. Thank you!

[@RichieZellon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nickmaybes]

I was also hearing that familiar sound in Wes’s playing - thanks so much for an awesome lesson Richie ! 🎶🎸✨

[@RichieZellon]

Thanks!

[@insidejazzguitar8112]

I’ve seen this kind of content covered for piano a few times lately, and I have been trying to figure it out for guitar. You just put it all together for me. Fantastic, thank you!

[@annonymeandfish]

Go see « things i’ve learned from barry harris » and « labyrinth of limitations » chanels

[@doce7606]

me too and i'm sure more is learned figuring it out for oneself from the piano... Seems Allan Holdsworth was doing exactly that as a teen in his bedroom in 1967...

[@justinrodriguez1900]

Great lesson!! Nothing new as far as other tutorials on same topic with the BLARING EXception that you explained the topics an how to apply it leagues better than every other tutorial I’ve seen an I’ve seen a lot of em :) Thanks an keep up the great work

Such a comprehensive explanation! Thanks Richie.

[@jameserenberger3425]

After watching this for at least the third time, I have gleamed some wonderful insights from it. Thanks for the lesson and for explaining the relationship between the melody and the 6th diminished scales!

[@RichieZellon]

You're very welcome, glad it was helpful!

[@fouroutoffour]

Awesome lesson! This fits into my current study of comping over minor 6 and minor 2-5 cadences and harmonizing melody lines. Thank you!

[@randyhetlage9202]

Great stuff Richie , Bless ya.

[@saschawattenbach]

I guess you are the most sympathic guitar teacher on KZbin. And btw... great content of course.

Love it

[@vspaulding1]

Thank You:)

[@dananthony6258]

RIP Barry Harris.

[@hueyhoolihan582]

you can simply play inversions of the chord in question and fill in the chord tones with a fully diminished chord, if the object is to play a "harmonized" scale.

Looking for the pdf file. The "...more" button did not work for me. I appreciate this lesson very much but could use the pdf file to lock it in. Thank you. Jerry. London, Canada.

[@doce7606]

Hip vid. What do you think Wes' 'working' voicings were...? There's surely no way he used eg the full drop-2 min-6 with root on A string at up-tempos..? maybe he did... I'll have to go and study the vids... nice content - subscribed...

[@MrByrd-ep5pd]

I would love to purchase the PDF but your website is confusing. I can't find any 'button' that allows for purchase.

[@RichieZellon]

[@johnrothfield6126]

Where is Wes chord solo?

[@RichieZellon]

This isn't a lesson about a specific Wes solo. It's about how to use the 6th an dim chords as stated. There is a huge list of solos by Wes using this concept at the beginning.

[@salvofailla3400]

With a kick?

[@RichieZellon]

Not sure what you are talking about...what kick?

[@critical9999]

I wish you are my grandpa

Must be a smoker.. . . .
