DJANGO BEAT (DJANGOBEAT-TV) Hace 4 mesesI look at it this way! The word "ALTERNATE" explains a lot!! If you play up anddown and restrict yourself to semitones you only get chromatics which are not immediately obvious in terms of hinting at structure, However, if you take 12 not

es and you play each ALTERNATE note you get the 1st whole tone scale. This is the first step in creating a new structure "ALTERNATION". Obvious hey? If you then play the notes in between you get the 2nd whole tone scale! Ok sorted!!!! Butif you then ALTERNATE "whole-tone, semitone, whole-tone, semi-tone"....until youreach 12 you get THE DIMINISHED SCALE!!! IF you then start again with either ofthe whole tone scales and ALTERNATE you get AUGMENTED ARPEGGIOS. However, if you do the same with the diminished scale you get DIMINISHED ARPEGGIOS!!! This isn't jazz!! (Although it is the music I play!). This is music at it's structural core!!! Does it explain major chords? Yes, take an augmented arpeggio and flattenany note! What do you get? A major triad!! Sharpen any note and what do get? Aminor triad! Take any diminished 7th arpeggio and flatten any note, what do youget? A dominant 7th arpeggio! Sharpen any note and what do you get? A min7b5 arpeggio!! So, Augmented, whole tone structures create TRIADS!!! ie 3 note harmony!

! Diminished structures create, QUADS or 4 note harmony!! Then, there is how scales are truly built! Hit me up for that because it is very involved!! But it allstems from this!!! Barry Harris is totally right that it all goes back to dim and whole tone!!?Mostrar menosResponder 4

Andy Grall Hace 4 meses (editado)I can follow the pattern of what he's doing until around the 3:20 mark, when hedoes I, ii, iii, then iv minor... not sure what the pattern is, why he's doingminor, what scale he's following then?? Can anyone help?Responder

Eli Yamin Hace 4 meses+Andy Grall You got it Andy!?Responder

Andy Grall Hace 4 meses+Eli Yamin So, at 5:50 is that still a C chord? at this point completely removing the root? Like a CM9 ??Responder

railcar123 Hace 4 meses+Andy Grall that ivm7 is a Fm7 or a Fmaj7??Responder

Andy Grall Hace 4 meses

+railcar123 It's an Fm7. When you say "ivm7" the m stands for minor. Also minoris typically indicated with lowercase iv rather than IV. =^) ?Responder

railcar123 Hace 4 meses+Andy Grall Thanks Andy. Just some small confusion on my part because usuallythe 4th degree is a Maj7th.?Responder

oocelo Hace 3 meses+Andy Grall it's the same chord, but with the seventh as the bass?

mambojazz1 Hace 3 mesesI go to his workshop every week in New York. Its a Major 6 dim scale. Thats what he calls the scale with a half step between 6 and 7. David Baker called it thebebop scale. So it 1-3-5-6 going up. 2-4-6-b6, 3-5-b6-7....?Responder

foobargorch Hace 1 mesWTF D and A, there's no D in a C diminished chord?Responder

Imnotgiving outmynamefaggots Hace 1 mes

+foobargorch I think you misunderstood Barry. He said 'DNA'. He was talking about C and Gb belonging to one whole tone scale, and Eb and A (Bbb) belonging to the other whole tone scale.?Responder

foobargorch Hace 1 mesthat was in jest?Responder

ken kellner Hace 4 semanas (editado)i get what he's saying about C to Eb to F# A but this student is so getting it

Michal Skupinski Hace 10 mesesIs it just me, or is his focus on whole-tone a dim scales' relations and theirvery rudimentary role in harmony are similar to those of Pat Martino's??Responder 2

Kostas Charitou Hace 1 mes+Michal Skupinski Yes but Martino substitutes with a minor scale every diminished interval.Harris is doing the same but with major scales.?Responder

Neal Grindstaff Hace 3 mesesCould someone explain exactly what he's playing at the different parts of the video? I know he's doing scale patterns in different keys, but which ones??Responder

Luca Rocchi Hace 9 meses (editado)This is what i get ... start from Cmaj then Dmin7, Emin7 ,... now you would expect Fmaj7 as fourth degree chords ... instead move to Fm7 and think it as second degree of Eb tonality ...now continue from Eb and moves as you did from Cmaj... so it will be Ebmaj - Fmin7 - Gmin7 ... then Abmin7 and so on ... after 4

cycles you are back on C tonality , that happens at 4:55?Responder 7

Zhay Rodzen, Ph. D. Hace 8 mesesBarry drives this session to the "heart and soul" of the matter. Excellent "hands-on" theory and application. A visual transcription might have been helpful given the sequential and incremental flow and complexity of concepts, but given the organic flow, it would've been impractical. Barry is quite correct -- and candid -- about "teachers are wrong all over the world...they certainly didn't askHank Jones, they didn't ask John Lewis, Dick Cats, John Bunch, and they the ones we learn from..." That's the reason that most modern jazz pianist sound exactly alike! They fall between the 25%ile and 75%ile of proficiency, and they all p

lay the same exact drills, licks, motifs and scales - quite efficiently, but with no ingenuity or originality. Don't get me wrong, I too fall in this category!Today there's just a handful of jazz pianists alive that fall at the >99.9%ile,in the legendary category of Barry Harris, the technical monstrosity of Chick Correa, the creative genius of Herbie Hancock, or the improvisational mastery ofKeith Jarret. I guess that's why they're the masters! Thanks Barry, for keepingit real.?Leer msResponder

Ver todas las 8 respuestas

Elia Gaitau Hace 9 mesesHey Karim,Yes it would make a dissonant sound but I think as with everything,you have to (according to Barry) "resolve" it eventually.Remember to that Barry is a MASTER lolHe can resolve ANY note. Also take into consideration hisApproach to harmony is very unique and at times he's verystrict in his rules to use.So when he says he can borrow any note from the diminished for any other scale,It's because his whole approach to harmony is based off his diminished theory.

So short answer : yes (if you can understand Barry's concepts)
