The video is a bit piano-focussed so I thought it might help some guitar players to have a summary from our point of view of the main idea. It produces a very cool jazz sound by a quite unexpected means. Celtic, U.K.Here's a great excerpt from a Barry Harris workshop where he introduces an interesting diminished concept, which he (jokingly) calls his "personal scale".Jazz/Blues Variants, Bossa, Choro, Klezmer.Old-Time, Roots, Early Country, Cajun, Tex-Mex.Rock, Folk Rock, Roots Rock, Rockabilly.Bluegrass, Newgrass, Country, Gospel Variants.Technique, Theory, Playing Tips and Tricks.Jams, Workshops, Camps, Places To Meet Others.Looking for Information About Mandolins.Quick Navigation Jazz/Blues Variants, Bossa, Choro, Klezmer Top Always enjoy the ride, it is at least as much fun as arriving at the destination. This is one of many possible ways to progress. Focus on a few things, practice it until it starts to show up organically in my playing, then move on to the next item. I am supplementing what I already know and play with the Barry stuff and am liking my progress. I am especially practicing material that is right out of Charlie Parker's playing (there is PLENTY of this in Barry's material). Personally, I'm using Barry's method to make my playing sound more authentic to the 1940's Bebop and 1950's Hard Bop and Cool Jazz, my favorite jazz era. I've finished up 25 videos and still have just scratched the surface in this material. One thing I really like about Barry's method is 2 people going only "whole hog" would still sound different from each other as there is so much. With enough time and learning, a player doing each would have plenty of material from which to make a fully realized, mature improvising style. You could steal little bits from any of Barry Harris' ideas, or you could go whole hog and say you are just going to use his method only. Improvisers use material from different sources and blend them all together along with their own ideas to make improv decisions and make their own style. I was wondering how you suggest to BEST utilize these posts?ĭo you recommend sticking with one video until you “get it together” or rotating through them? The material presented easily implies a lifetime journey.īarryI don't think there is any "correct" way to do this. I play lots of jazz with a trio, alone and also guided by a wonderful and gifted guitar jazz combo teacher. What a Wonderful collection you have generously posted on the Cafe.
