Many of these lines and melodic fragments using the major scale and Imaj7 and Imaj6 outlines sound as if they come from the pre-bop jazz vocabulary. I often wonder why jazz players now seem to start with bebop, when the earlier styles are easier to understand harmonically, more rhythmically varied, and teach a melodic style that encourages beautiful phrasing as a starting point for memorable improvisation.
Just wanted to thank you for the most amazing course on the internet.I have been studying music for the last 30 years and have learnt more from your course than all my efforts looking elsewhere.Tks again!!!
Let me join in . I have a composition degree and studied jazz in school. I’ve had various jobs around the music industry playing and recording. It’s been years since Music theory excited me or I truly learned anything new in music theory. Then I discovered this channel and Barry Harris and I’m going deep down the rabbit hole! These bite sized lessons are perfect. You strike a great balance between instruction and playful creativeness. Thank you thank you!!
i've heard that Chris , in a lot of Bud's tunes...08:02 there is a part in " In the mood for a classic " i think, where he does that.. that line is so hip man... i discovered Bud 2 years ago, my jaw dropped, and hasnt gone into its normal state eva since. i could hear any Bud song 1000 times, and it would still surpise me and my jaw would still drop... 8:32 yeah bro! i heard she rote a million times! i tried to find the example you had shared where that idea was.. i dont remember the name... i couldnt find it on YT. thank you Chris, you a charm, really man, thanks for your light, thank you thank you thank you:)
Thank you so much for sharing all the wonderful things you’ve learned from Barry Harris! With each video I watch I either learn something new or learn how to see it differently. Great stuff!
Valuable lesson Chris...open for new ideas...Thanks for sharing these wonderful ideas, movements and licks with us..another concept that would fit with major 6 movement, would be major pentatonic scale or the major blues pentatonic (with #9).
