When I began playing bass 10 years ago I would always try explain my approach to playing as "major chromatic" and my friends scoffed. Now i found this video and learned the truth!
wow ! this major chromatic scale has literally reshaped my understanding of music ! I'm serious ! especially when playing on a one chord. Being a guitarist myself I think Pasqual Grasso embodies this idea best. Thanks again for this video , I nailed the lick or the "move" ,) on the piano sounds awesome and so unpredictable. Merci
Yeah Pasquale has really internalized BH’s language. The core idea of how to deal with chromatic approaches - and by implication how to deal with the half steps in the major scale - has far, far reaching applications!
👍👍I very much enjoy your succinct demonstrations and explanations of these great ideas. My request/suggestion is that you make a video that highlights Barry's perspective of movements on the Gershwin tune "Liza (The Clouds'll Roll Away)" Thanks!
I’m going to revisit this video a lot (like with all your other videos) as there’s a lot of nice little insights into what you’re thinking when you play with this theory. I’ve heard him use this move a lot on Monks Mood off his album Solo. Incredibly modern sounding without the snobby vibe. Random unrelated question, do you happen to know the chords to Nascimento? I accidentally played the played the part with descending minor ii-V’s when I was practicing and realized I can actually play it with Barry’s rich flavor thanks to your teaching. Just can’t figure out the rest of the song!
Hello Issac. I love your videos. Can you explain how to create motion on the Dominant? I can make motions from the ii to the V, but I don't know how to make motions back to the I.
ripsirwin1 if you’re playing in C, you can play a Dm6 over a G for dominant 9 (root position for this example) - move the bottom three notes down a degree and you get a vanilla c maj 7. Invert it as you like and borrow dim notes to crunch it up
In Barry's approach, are there situations where he would use a "regular" major scale instead of a sixth/diminished or does he always use the sixth/diminished? Thanks
So when you play the drop 3 up the scale you get a lot of nice chords ( however they may be called ) but not really inversions So if you would play C6 up a scale from the 2nd or 3rd you would get completely different results So a lot , a lot of new possibilities here wowie
This is mind-blowing harmony. So simply achieved but so complex.
Trying to do this on my guitar hurts my brain. lol Thanks for the content! I've never seen the chromatic scale of Barry's explained like this.

I tried doing the major chromatic in the key of C in 10ths (C and E) (Two voices) and it sounded alot like Blackbird!!!

Have you seen Barry demonstrate it in detail in this video already?

Mind blowing stuff. You’re hands down the best, most comprehensive channel breaking down his advanced concepts!
It’s amazing to me that it still sounds like a major scale with all the chromatic notes. i guess it works because of the rhythm
Boom. Correct. and you can use ANY extra note
amazing

Beautiful! Thank You Isaac
great info and explanation, thanks
great lesson...Thanks

Thanks! sure I'd love to wax on about that tune. One of my favs
Smokkin!

There's actually a thing he does in class a lot. thanks for reminding me!! I'll play around with it...
Do you have this on pdf?
In Barry's approach, are there situations where he would use a "regular" major scale instead of a sixth/diminished or does he always use the sixth/diminished? Thanks
Yes! the whole thing is based on the major. this video is just about adding 1/2 step approaches to color it but in the end it's just plain ol' major!
So when you play the drop 3 up the scale you get a lot of nice chords ( however they may be called ) but not really inversions
So if you would play C6 up a scale from the 2nd or 3rd you would get completely different results
So a lot , a lot of new possibilities here wowie
No, you're right. there are many possibilities you don't even realize until you stumble on them. There is so much potential in this method!
No I’m wrong
