4 Chords In 1?! Barry Harris Family of Dominants 

This is Pat Martino’s Parental Forms idea as well.

This is so much clearer that a lot of other videos I have been watching! Thanks for making this so simple. I can now actually play some Barry Harris stuff instead of spending sleepless nights trying to understand the concept. You have opened so many possibilities in my playing.

Thank you so much, Neville Longbottom.

RIP Barry ❤😊❤

Nice teaching ...thanks

Thanks mucho! fire tip. Your explanation of Barry’s music theory is so clean.

Dig It!

Nice.

Thanks for this lesson Nathan. This concept was new to me so it was very exciting to see the possibilities with the Dominant 7th chord and the Arpeggios for soloing as well as comping.

Oh damn this is fun trying to resolve things im not used to resloving. Pretty awesome

Absolute great stuff and user friendly approach ..... a lot of contents ....thks a lot Nathan really appreciated ! Best

I'm very sure that this is the exact method Bird discovered when he was talking about "upper extensions"

Ok the video answered my question. Good stuff thanks.

Very well explained

So clear ! Thank you so much .

Thanks a lot for the video, when I was asking i was exactly meant that topic. It will help a lot. Thank you very much for your time and consideration

Great vid thanks so much very clear helps loads with the Barry Harris harmonic approach *****

A key way I’m working with the family of dominants is thinking of 2 5 1 in major and relative minor... for example: key of Bb major approach with F7 to B7 (Tritons sub) to Bb. And in relative minor playing F7 (over Am7 b5) to D7 to Gm, or F7 to Ab7 (Tritone sub) to Gm

great video . very informative ,,, thank you, greetings from Argentina

Really nice examples at the end

!Is it possible man you make a video on Bud Powell Vocabulary? it would be great to see that!

When moving dom7 chords in minor 3rds I get e.g. over G7: -> G7 Bb7 Db7 E7 Bb7 over G7 -> #9, 5, b7, b9 Db7 over G7 -> b5, b7, b9, 3 E7 over G7 -> 13, b9, 3, 5 My question: is it correct to tell that it works because there are 2 and perfect 4th's to "confuse" the sound? Or is there any other reason why moving around these chords work? I knew how to get these chords via dim-chords but never really knew how to use them. Is there even more I can do with them?

Great information .I found your channel by way of Christian Van Hemert .

Always super stuff Sir!!!

I see Barry Harris or bebop, I click 🤷🏾‍♂️

Hey, like the lesson. But what about the flip side of that, which is the chords themselves? How do we utilize this to create motion within the guitar chords, the way Barry does on the piano? So that the guitar accompaniment to another soloist is more interesting than just block chords, while not getting the way of the soloist?

So cool. I actually forget this stuff if I don't use it for a while, but at least I can go back to amazing vids like this and pick it up again very quickly. I remember the first time I was trying to get my head around this and it scrambled my brain! Let me ask, what is your personal approach to minor II V? Barry uses a very specific thing where he'll play the 'important dominant' of the minor key in question (so, the VII7 chord) into the third of the V7....now, it sounds cool but I find it really difficult to play fluidly with it. Surely something like this makes more sense? Admittedly I get very lazy and just play around with the fifth of melodic or harmonic minor (usually both!), but my minor lines definitely aren't as good as my major playing.

Do you have a video on using his 6th Diminshed chords for playing 2/5/1 ?

Thanks for another great lesson! Please can you share how you add scrolling music to your etude? Thanks again!

I have a question. Would It be safe to say you can play any Dominant Chord up In minor 3rds? Mind you I am not done watching the video.

So your just moving the dominant chord up minor 3rds? Any of them ?

3:47 how is Db the one of Ab?

Thank you! Very clear! Can you move major and minor chords in the same way? In minor thirds?👏👏

There are far more than 4 chords in 1. Think about how many chords you can make by moving one or two notes of a diminished 7th a semitone up or down
