Hey Isaac. Very cool whole tone device, and awesome advice about not over using (first time I heard "thematic continuity", makes a whole difference). Many Jobim tunes have good spots to use this whole tone lick: Corcovado (Quiet Nights), Desafinado, bridge of Girl from Ipanema. I'll try it on some bossas, thank you!
Does Barry ever talk about the melodic minor scale? Immediately thought of it when you said dominant b5. Lydian dominant in Music School Industrial Complex terminology
To me the music school industrial complex “Lydian Dominant” is actually the “important minor” so: C7#11 is G m6 with the F# “borrowed” for the E. Which is a different animal than a C7b5 where the flat five replaces the natural fifth
Also, yes he talks about the melodic minor all the time in many different contexts. One very interesting one that I like to think about is that the minor six diminished scale is really a combination of the melodic and harmonic minor
@@isaacraz idk if you'll see this, but yes I'm starting to see it as those two, or major7#5 as well. It's so versatile and it really connects and derives so many different sounds from one thing. So good. I was taught jazz a different way as a teen but this is so so so much better. So thankful for UA-cam.
Thanks for sharing. Simple yet effective. I have a scale question related to these type of altered 7 scales. I found that in be bop, a “special” alt scale is often used: it is a Maj 6 dim scale starting from the 3rd. For instance, it is used in the head of Donna Lee in the 2nd bar (F7). Do you know how this scale is called?
it's easy to get caught in a rabbit hole and try to name everything. For myself I found that BH's system's power is in its simplicity. It's still the 6 diminished scale, only now it's from the third. This way your thinking is more global which helps move things along in the moment. That was the real power of BH thinking for me.
@@isaacraz I agree. I shall stick to maj6 dim scale starting from the 3rd. Your 10 chords routine just became a 11 chords routine :-D. Nr 10 is the alt dim scale version 1 (..b5, b6, natural 6..) and Nr 11 will be the alt dim scale version 2 (..natural 4, natural 5, b6..)
@@marcavice7505 I think (if there was a name :)) it’s the regular harmonic minor scale starting on the 5 note, which gives flat 9, natural 4th and 5th and flat 13th - I see it used all the time!
@@isaacraz sorry for taking so long to reply. I just figured out where I can find replies to my comments. For fun give a listen to Ganesh is Fresh by MC Yogi. The music isn’t Barry Harris but it’s fun because of the lyrics.
@@isaacraz Ah. Destroying illusion. Non-duality. Although the Barry Harris approach seems to be very much about approaching music in a dualistic approach. Yes? No?
Really appreciate and dug the video. Barry Harris was a unreal treasure to the community
Great idea, Isaac. I'm going to go over and see the Patreon version, then go upstairs to the piano and start practicing this!
It's a good one... Have fun!
Thank you so much for the content very appreciated
My pleasure!

Yeah I tripped over my words! But I wasn’t going to do another take, LOL!
@@isaacraz i love it actually, it's like a little Freudian slip 😄 I like you casual, off the top of the head videos. 👍👍👍

I see Ganesh on your t-shirt. Are you also into yoga?
Yes I am. I went crazy and got some Ganesh t shirts because I wanted to destroy illusion!
