Great lesson. You can add Stravinsky to the list of French composers who made use of this kind of melodic device. It's a strikingly beautiful effect and key to achieving that modern sound that departs from traditional harmony. Wonderfully pianistic, it takes full advantage of things you can do that no other instrument can (guitar to some extent, but requires a lot of effort -- and SOUNDS like a lot of effort). Piano is the King. Know that every time you sit down to play.
It is all explained in the John Mehegan Jazz Improvisation book 3 Swing & Early Progressive Piano Style. A chapter is dedicated to the milt Buckner and George Shearing locked hand style. All are written in all keys😁. Copyright of the book is 1964. It says there probably Shearing got the idea from the sax section of Glenn Miller, 2 altos, 2 tenors and the fifth voice is the clarinet.
Kudos to Adam and Peter. You always have a hip way of discussing this topic👍👍👍👏👏👏
8:10 I could hear that all day...
I hope I will have patience to learn this. Great!!
Wow, I feel like I've been searching for this sound for a decade! Thanks, guys
Always learn something from these You'll Hear It videos thanks.
Thanks a lot Brother. ! This video gave me a better approach to playing “ locked hands” style ala the “French” way 🎹♦️👌
This is contained within the Barry Harris system. A central idea of it is combining and then resolving the diminished and non diminished tones.
Creabsley totally, Barry Harris seemingly has it all. I was playing around with the idea that everyone (onYT it seems) only talks about the 6th diminished, especially when referring to Mr. Harris.
Cool, yes, I remember hearing Barry talk about "borrowing" notes from diminished for the sixth chord, or from sixth chord for the diminished. I never did grok quite how that would work, but it seems this "French" way is one (structured) way to do that.
I would sum it up this way: the more shit you know, the better.
Pure, solid gold!
Great Video! Hey Open Studio! Ever thought about mixing Barry Harris with So What Voicings? In the Key of C, playing a C Major pentatonic wich is an A minor So What voicing. I think you did a video about these plus the inversions. Now, the notes CDEGA can have passing notes: Db Eb F Ab B wich is a Db7/9. instead of playing only the Inversions of the C major pentatonic Fourth voicings, you can move each note to the passing Note. ADGCE to B Eb Ab Db F to CEADG and so on. Maybe that’s worth a video? It sounds great, you can play pretty chromatic lines!!
really nice way to voice-lead, familiar to my french ear ; your french is OK Peter ! Thanks for sharing
this sounds soooo nice
Barry Harris used to call this Short - Long voicings (starting from a 6th chord closed position moving the outside notes ir or out to connect two different 6th chords, thus short or long)
Best video so far
This is my favorite tech so far
Vive La France! they may tell you how to play locked hands but try getting those smug Frenchies to send you parts for your Focal monitors not as simple!! (they will eventually). None the less, awesome voicing class thanks guys! The Barry Harris voicings are so cool but totally restrictive feeling played in their basic format... this is a great way to open those up a bit! What other ways can we open up the Barry Harris voicings to not be so dramatic and dominant sounding?? i remember one online class he does the thing where he plays 1 -2 -3 -4 -5 notes at a time as he moves up each voicing, what other techniques to make those more "french"? maybe a class on how we can apply the barry harris techniques more would be cool! thanks!
Can someone explain what's going on at 6:39 please? Mainly the scale - where is the Db coming from?
you take the diminished chord and play it in all inversions (Fdim Abdim Bdim Ddim), and in each inversion you add a new version of the chord shifting the highest and the lowest voice up a whole step and then returning, in the case of Bdim the two Bs (bass and right hand pinky) shift to a Db (resulting in a Db b9 chord) and then return to B
edit: the scale is F whole half diminished
Oh yeah!
Well explained
5:00
I have been watching a lot of open studio videos and one thing that I don't like about these guys is they dont explain everything they do. For example in this video he does a G altered using the described technique, but he is not explaining this vital information. it's not just a 2-5-1. its a 2-5altered-1
Ohhh man game changer!!!
Love all this.
Hip!
Great stuff!
you had me at Franch
I feel like this is the kind of stuff they lock up in those conservatories. man...
That is badass
Nice!!! 👍🏾
Très bon accent français !
What is the Monday Transcribing club at Open Studio?

Awesomeness
It’s great atuff

I’ve found that the “french style” of locked hands doesn’t work too well on certain chord types.
Milt Buckner!!! Ge
Milt Buckner/George Shearing!!! Yay! Thanks for this Oscar/French style. Always something new. 🍀🌹🍀
👍
What a pity, that Barry Harris' incredible philiosophy is so often reduced to "this sixth-diminished-bockchord-Barry-Harris-stuff". His thinking was much bigger than that.
Wow this qa nww to e I like That Rssion Saura styl e!

You kept chatting and then you went over the explanation. I didn't understand anything.
