I’ve learned my guitar neck more in the last 2 years than in the entire 38 years I’ve been playing just by watching Barry Harris videos but mostly Chris’s video’s. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. 🙏
Respect! Of all the learning methods out there this page has to be the holy grail of jazz learning. You’ve done a huge service to the jazz guitar community. You’ve made the beauty of jazz piano available to those willing to to the work on the guitar. Invaluable!
Wow Chris. We can all get so much out of transcribing all of your little turns in this video alone. These are concepts that 10 years ago would be next to impossible to pick up at this depth unless you attended Barry's clinics and worked all of this out yourself on the fretboard... Which you amazingly did. Thank you for sharing this material freely to the public. It's invaluable. The bar has been raised.
Barry Harris's harmonic movement seems similar to George Van Eps in terms of harmony being MOVEMENT--multiple melodies that sometimes line up, rhythmically, in unison. I know that Barry's harmony and single line improvisational ideas are often taught separately. That said, I get the itching suspicion that BH's harmonic and melodic conceptions were a lot more connected than we give credit. After all, I think that Barry Harris was trying to discover a unified way of teaching harmony, melody, and rhythm--where all pillars are cohesive and embedded upon each other. A unified theory... Einstein was trying to do that as well :) I still say that Barry Harris had a lot more rhythm to teach us all. Barry Harris's pedagogy is an iceberg, and we are still only skimming the top. The deeper we go, the more connected all the material will become--that's my hunch ;)
Yesterday I was playing all the things you are and I busted out a inverted dormant bE7 Dom was like holy Shirley I’m doing it. It actually works. Usually I’m just jamming around on changes with no purpose. Lol
You are a blessing of knowledge from Barry. Crazy that this information is there now for the earth, and on CZcams...forever. Maybe there will be a resurgence of beautiful harmony
Was checking out Ron Eschete he was doing some barry like things.... but also did minors as 5s for scale which sounded pretty cool... ive not heard anything like that from barry
Whats wrong with our guitar ¿? Never noticed that before now . Why is the freets like that? Anyway thanks for all the great lessons, you are a really great teacher. Thanks 🫵👏
The biggest limitation I’ve come up against in integrating BH into my playing is that while it makes the strong and common VI movement easy, I’ve seen little about the equally crucial IIV or III movements. Have you discussd those movements elsewhere?
Unrelated question that I think viewers here (or Chris) could answer. When a song in Bm has a F#m7 functioning as its v chord, is there a 6/dim flavor that fits over that? The typical answer would be A6/dim. But the diminished in between chords sound wrong. It should have a g natural (b2) involved. I can just run a B minor scale over it but I would love to find a Barry Harris style 6/dim option
Is there somewhere I can find a pdf of all the drop 2, drop 3 and drop 2-4 voicings? I know my drop 2 chords in minor 6 diminished but want to extend my vocabulary. ❤
Hi, start with close position (Ex C-E-G-B), after drop the second voice one octave lower (G), (G-C-E-B), you've got the drop 2 voicing...find the inversions...same idea with drop 3, drop 4, drop "2-4"...

“Barry’s Beautiful Borrowing” - this clip wins on alliteration alone, never mind content. Thanks yet again, Chris. 🎸🔥🎶🔥🙏🏿💯🦁☀️
Thank Chris!!
Beautiful thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

You are a brilliant teacher and a magnificent guitarist. Thank you.

Already in the first sentence you kick us back to the very basics. Top Chris

Wow. Thanks for this.
Just Beautiful... and opens up a universe of possibilities
And the rest is dynamite as well, agreed. Thank you so much Chris, Peter

You're doing us all a huge favor here. Thanks!
Again, thank you very much Chris to share all this informations !!!
Thanks loads, you're such a generous mate sharing this treasure with us!
Borrowing Concept has infinity way to create beautiful harmony in some harmonic context, which is at the same time really hard to master....
Wow, this is dynamite. Cheers Chris. Tim
Great Lesson. Thanks Chris!
Beautiful, Chris. Thank you!
Great lesson as always! A pleasure to watch 😊
Sounds great, Chris!
Whats wrong with our guitar ¿?
Never noticed that before now .
Why is the freets like that?
Anyway thanks for all the great lessons, you are a really great teacher.
Thanks 🫵👏
Gotta put the 11s on the jazz box here not playing it with lighter strings
The biggest limitation I’ve come up against in integrating BH into my playing is that while it makes the strong and common VI movement easy, I’ve seen little about the equally crucial IIV or III movements. Have you discussd those movements elsewhere?

pay attention, everyone. No one else is going to teach you this. also, can i "borrow" that beautiful box?
Is there somewhere I can find a pdf of all the drop 2, drop 3 and drop 2-4 voicings? I know my drop 2 chords in minor 6 diminished but want to extend my vocabulary. ❤

I recommend "The Barry Harris Harmonic Method for Guitar". Great diagrams for what you asking for.
@@mhahmdx thank you
