Chris is amazing at explaining Barry Harris' method! He's very inspiring!

Yes indeed. I’m a piano player, but picked up so much from Chris’ videos.

Great interview! Cool that Frans Elsen and Axel Hagen get a mention. They have done a lot for documenting Barry's way of teaching.

Hey thanks Jens! You may not remember, but I reached out to you in November to be part of the series. While this is over, I’d still love the chance to connect about some other things if you are willing.

The most upfront thing I get from Chris in every one of his videos is that he's a good dude. His love suffuses both his communication and his playing. He must be a great father.

@prevatican2catholicshow 3 года назад

Lovely conversation guys, Chris is a great teacher and player, he’s too modest about his skills. I’d like to add, if I may, some information regarding the classical tradition of improvisation. The Italians spent a good 3 years singing hexachordal Italian Solfeggio, which prepared them for Partimento, which like German Bach tradition of Thoroughbass, teaches them to improvise over increasingly complicated bass lines (with key changes and clef changes), It’s kind of like a jazz lead sheet. The final level of partimento were improvised partimento fugues. Later they ended their training with written counterpoint training that also ended in fugues. All in all, it was like 10 years of training dawn to dusk.

@themidger1 3 года назад

My RU-vid algorithm is generous with Barry videos, it just showed me this great interview. Cool to see a full conversation with Chris and his experiences as Barry’s student. I’ve learned a lot from his videos and love how he replies and talks theory in the comments, much like the real conversational setting of Barry’s class. By the way as y’all were talking about other authentic sources I have to add another great source of Barry theory on RU-vid is Isaac Raz. He started making videos about a year ago and touches on a lot of the same topics from the piano perspective (diving a little more heavily into the polyphonic movement that characterizes Barry’s harmony). He has studied with Barry for years like Chris and is the only other source I’ve found as consistently good as Chris. We are lucky to have public educators like them to pass on the bebop flame

@JoshWalshMusic 3 года назад

Thanks for pointing out Isaac’s channel. I am a subscriber and have learned much from him. Cheers.

@peteypablo2081 2 года назад

Man, this is amazing. After a year of feeling like I'm spinning my wheels and going nowhere, I came across Chris's channel and he's speaking right at me. Just contacted Howard Rees who is a former student of Barry and has an online "school" that I'm considering joining. He's a class act. Answering all my questions and reassuring me that there is a better (and more fun) way to learn the "language". Keep up the great work!

@sonicpowell 3 года назад

Very interesting ideas on how to formalize bebop lines. Thanks and great interview!

@yannterrer 3 года назад

I tried so hard studying jazz guitar for years, one day i saw a Barry’s piano lesson, i talk to myself « here is the Key » but i wasn’t able to manage it in my playing. Man you have unlocked everything tks so much for this gift!!!!! It work perfectly and as you say « you feel so comfortable and free with this 5!! ;). Bests

@JoshWalshMusic 3 года назад

Yann, I’m glad this was helpful. Chris hasn’t produced a bad video. As a piano player myself, I’ve also learned a ton from his guitar teaching.

@taura101 Год назад

21:11 I'm sure that Barry is as grateful as I am that Chris is doing great work being himself and a Barry boy and sharing his journey with others who through geography did not have the first hand opportunity to study directly with Barry. Chris teaches as he was taught. I totally appreciate that. I am very grateful for the "super watered down" versions Chris shares that from where I stand feel like the Niagara falls! Thank you Chris.

@carlinwoods245 2 месяца назад

Chris, I started attending Dr Harris' workshop in 1994. You and I were always friendly with each other but didn't have much conversation. Too busy trying to concentrate on the lesson. Unless I heard your testimony on this youtube clip I would have never known you were just beginning then. In my view, you were able to play the things Dr Harris dictated quickly and when he had us jam on a song you were putting it where it's at man... i hope you enjoy all the fruits of your labors...

@samferguson9171 2 года назад

Cool to hear that Barry Harris taught Paul Chambers. That makes sense. So many of PC’s lines (in his solos, I mean) sound systematically musical, as if they follow their own infallible melodic and rhythmic logic. When I say “systematically,” I don’t mean that as an insult. Far from it. I simply mean that his lines sound perfect. You get the sense he could solo endlessly and never run out of beautiful ideas.

@JoshWalshMusic 2 года назад

Indeed. Systematically doesn’t need to mean robotic. Although, too often it’s seen that way. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

@rik-keymusic160 Год назад

I have a book with 3 dvd’s Barry is teaching all that stuff. With notes in the book about the videos. Its a lot of stuff to practice. Just al these rules applying to all dom7 chords is a ton of work and then there is more stuff to learn 😅

Yeah dude. I feel this! And those dominant scale descending rules are just the fundamentals before the real work starts. 🤣
