He and Barry have been very successful with the diminished approach. Great work and may I bug you with a question or two along the way? Thank you for this book. Great work!!! Studying the concepts put forth in this book will not teach you a set of hip sounding voicings.

Though not half the player Rick Stone is I do consider myself lucky to have studied with Barry Harris since 1987. I don't offer my book for free though I've been told by guitarists and some pianists that it has helped them grasp Barry's concepts.
Thanks, Christopher. Alan, I may have asked this question a while ago. Should I be thinking 'scale' rather than 'chords'? Example: When I play Dm7 to G7alt, I'm 'seeing' the F6 chord inversion voicing(fingering) on the fretboard and then the Abm6 vocings(fingerings). I'm not thinking F6o scale and then Abm6o scale. Am I doing myself a dis-service here?

Now this is where Barry walks in, takes me by the hand and says “Here is what you do”. “The power of this video is Barry the teacher, he was there when bop was born, and it is evident when you watch him teaching and playing that he knows exactly what this is all about, and he knows exactly how to pass what he knows on to you. Working with this less than two weeks, the exciting part has been watching how much is already creeping into my playing. I am climbing out of old perspectives and into new ones. This video was the grail I had been looking for!!! If you even have the thought that this method sounds interesting, don’t hesitate, “Buy It “.
Barry Harris Harmonic Method For Guitar
Em7 as a substitute for Cmaj9 was one of the very first subs I learned back in the day, and I suspect that's true for many guitar players. Fmaj6 is already Dm7 (F A C D), so you could start by playing the Fmaj6 starting on the 'D' (giving you your garden variety Dm7) and working through the scale from there until you're comfortable. G7 = two choices here. For a regular dom9 chord, we can use Dmin6 (D F A B). Note that only one note changes from the Dm7 here (the C goes down to B).

There are times, to be sure, that you'll want to sound all of the altered extensions as well as the altered 5th of a dom7 chord. Adobe amtlib.dll crack 2018. But that's just one of a great many ways to approach dom7 chords. Remember that the term 'altered dom7 chord' is bandied about pretty loosely these days.

Since the notes are the same in both chords, what it is or what it's named depends on where it's it moving to. Your comments are starting to make me think that the problem is not with the book. If you don't understand that F6 and Dm7 are homonyms and can be substituted for one another, you may have floated into a deeper end of the pool than you're used to. If you have problems with this book, the George Van Eps books will drive you crazy.
It would have been perfect if I found it in my very first beginning in studying harmony. The only thing I'm continuing to practice is the 8-chord harmonization of the 'dim 6 scale' (to me that's a major bebop: major scale plus #5/b6 note) That system, also applied to other different scales, or pitch collections, it a method to easily get different unusual chords under my fingers, without going mad with theory/analysis, etc. Enrico, One thing that is interesting to me is how much impact adding a single note makes. C D E F G Ab A B C Cma7 / Cma7+ Dm7 / Dm7b5 / Ddim Em7 / E7 / E7+ FmMa7 / Fma7 / Fdim / FdimMa7 G7 Abma7+ / Abdim / AbdimMa7 Am7 / AmMa7 Bdim / Bm7b5 8 note scales can be conceived of as two or more 7 note scales joining forces. In this instance the 8 note scale houses all the harmonic content of C Major, C Harmonic Major and A Harmonic Minor.
These are shown in standard notation and fingering charts ('boxes'). Alan then moves on to the role of the diminished chord in Barry's harmony, Barry's ideas about related dominants and how they can substitute for one another, voicings that use 'borrowed' notes, and the use of all this in movement through commonly-encountered progressions. The book ends with a chapter on scale practice, a detailed analysis of an exemplary arrangement of a standard (Like Someone in Love) using many of the 'moves' described in earlier chapters, and an appendix that systematically sets out a wide range of voicings playable on guitar. Alan Kingstone's 'The Barry Harris Harmonic Method for Guitar' is published by Howard Rees's Jazz Workshop Productions and available from his website (), from Aebersold, and probably from lots of other places too.

None of the teachers I've had were dogmatic in their adherence to a particular methodology, but they did have preferences. In high school I was exposed to the Jamey Aebersold approach--basically a scale-chord method. You derive the melodic material you want to play from a scale or set of scales.

And if the previous thought makes sense, who (and when) could get advantage of learning that way? It's anyway a very nice recap, for me! I approached the Barry Harris Method through Alan Kingstone's very well written book about the subject and not through Barry's videos or book. I decided to 're-learn' the fretboard using Alan's voicings and movement exercises. The impact of Alan's book for me cannot be understated here: 1.

Here's a great excerpt from a Barry Harris workshop where he introduces an interesting diminished concept, which he (jokingly) calls his 'personal scale'. It produces a very cool jazz sound by a quite unexpected means. The video is a bit piano-focussed so I thought it might help some guitar players to have a summary from our point of view of the main idea. Here's the video: The scale is in fact just a major scale with an added b6 or #5, so it's spelled like this: 1 2 3 4 5 b6 6 7 C D E F G G# A B More exotically, you could think of this as Harmonic Major with an added natural 6. You may think this is perverse, since the other way is clearly simpler, but in fact that b6 contributes a very strong Harmonic Major sound.

Pmfan57, 11:05 น. Yeah, I've seen Alan's book too. A lot of the charts and diagrams in it pretty much look like the stuff in my notebook from the 80s, which make sense since we were most certainly both trying to put Barry's stuff into guitar terms for my own understanding. The Chord Construction Workshop articles I wrote for JJG in 1999 & 2000 came out of that thinking as well (also from a Pat Martino article from 1977 in Guitar Player, Mel Bay's Rhythm Guitar Method, and Berklee Arranging classes).

The hitter sits up and works out a couple of beautiful sounding voicings for each kind of chord (or worse, learns someone elses from a method book) and from that point on, plays them exactly the same way. These vertical groups of notes are hit or struck on the instrument with no thought to creating movement. The mover on the other hand, understands that chords come from scales and thereby learns to approach chording in a more fluid fashion. As well, one realizes that the interesting spots in music, whether you are comping, harmonizing a melody or writing an arrangement, are the places in between the chord symbols. Thinking movement-to-movement as opposed to chord to chord.
So by starting with C#dim7 you derive C7 Eb7 Gb7 and A7. And then by practicing the C7 scale and the A7 scale together to make lines,( for example), you are ALSO practicing how to play over Em7b5 to A7 since the C7 dominant scale notes will 'work' on Em7b5 and of course the A7 scale works on the A dominant chord for resolution to D minor. I think BH develops this related chord movement idea pretty extensively but I don't have it together yet. Pmfan57, 12:53 น. 335 wrote: > I'm not sure how BH applies the maj6 diminished.

He's also kind of a moving target. I haven't studied with him in many years, and students will ask me about stuff that he's said more recently, and I'll have no idea. He's 80 years old and still evolving! -- Musically Yours, Rick Stone Website: Recordings: Videos: Myspace: EPK: eric s, 8:10 น.
“I’ve always thought that if Charlie Parker had played piano, he would sound exactly like Barry Harris. Or is it the other way around?

It was only a few years later that I found myself returning to the Harris material. Frustrated with my 'comping--I felt like I was using the same set of voicings over and over again--I bought and started working through. That book, along with, have been immensely helpful, gradually changing some of my basic ideas and approaches to improvisation and 'comping.
The trick harmonically is to start thinking sixth sixth sixth. Instead of the static Dm7 - think F6o scale. Instead of the static G7alt - think Abm6o scale. Instead of the static CMa7 - think C6o or G6 into C6. It's about movement and improvisation while chording. Absolutely, and that brings me back to my first question (this thread drifted a bit). Very interesting and consistent, but to me (not in my 20-30 anymore.
You should be able to explain it, though. You should have a HANDLE on theory. I like Bill Evans' statement: intuition should lead knowledge, but if it's out there on its own you will flounder at some point. It's always good to study. But when it's time to play, play. That's all I meant. Joel fass, 16:01 น.

I don't offer my book for free though I've been told by guitarists and some pianists that it has helped them grasp Barry's concepts. I caught a glimpse of Ricks work in a magazine years ago and thought 'hey this looks like my stuff'. I've been with Howard Rees, since 86 who introduced me to Barry in 87 and I've been wrestling with this great stuff since then. I took part in a workshop with Howard this evening with some wonderful Toronto musicians and we utilized Barry's thing of 3 or 5 or 7 ordered scale tones through a tune.
