hey guys, have you noticed a lot of lines do not end on the downbeat? Look at Donna Lee for an example. Most phrases end on an upbeat with a chord tone. It sounds more like a comma than a period to me.

Bill, this absolutely blew my mind. I've been playing pop and rock music since I was thirteen, and just started getting into jazz and blues a couple years ago (I'm twenty now) I've felt stuck for a long time, having a grasp on the basics of jazz theory and strong technical facilities, but not feeling comfortable improvising. Doing a lot of 'insert lick here' 'dorian scale here' and 'blues riff here' kind of things. Even when I play lines that sound decent in my improvisations its depressing, because it doesn't feel like self expression, and I know that im faking (not making) the changes. Even after putting a couple hours into watching and practicing along with this video, I can feel those barriers breaking away. I spent some time earlier today listening to Barry Harris trio with al Cohn, one of my favorite records, and I was brought to tears. I've listened to that album over a hundred times, and after watching this video and practicing these concepts, I'm finally starting to understand what im hearing. I can't tell you how much this means to me. I plan to spend my practice time over the coming weeks and months imitating, internalizing, and innovating these concepts, and I know this will be a serious turning point for my progress. I'll be praying for your health and well being. Thank you.

And Jazz is very slow; I'm grown, and learning Jazz from records and internet videos. So, I'm just learning how to play ANYTHING bebop. But the day after watching this I sent a few improved II-V-I bebop licks to friends. And more than a one-off trick, I use Harris' concepts every time I am faced with a chart, regardless of the style. Just... Un. Believable. Thanks for such a clear presentation @billgraham

Good day, Bill. Thanks for sharing this incredible information. I am a bebop guitarist and back in the 80's I attended about 3 or 4 of Barry's masterclasses in N.Y. Honestly, I don't remember him doing this. Due to the current pandemic, I decided to try to go back to my "Bebop voice." I don't think that I speak like that now, but fellow musicians will tell you I do. I just think is that I've grown older, my voice changed, but the approach and love is still the same. I like the breakdown that you provided, as I've looked at other musicians explain Mr. Harry's method and was always left with a lot of questions, as most teach like Barry. He never mentions the intervals, or his starting points. You have to really have great ears to follow and understand what he's talking about. In this video, although you don't mention it, any of the rules (unless you disregard for personal purposes), the last note will smoothly land you on a chord tone. I never picked that up until today. This is the 3rd time looking over this video. But I got it. Your explanations of what's happening is very clear and understandable. Thank you. I will continue to follow your concepts and interpretations.

This is something that may be important that I just realized. If you land on any of the 4 chord tones of the V7 chord, you can play four 8th notes down the scale (either I major scale or V mixolydian scale, however you want to think about it) and you will land on the corresponding chord tone of the I chord. examples: G7 Cmaj G F E D C. (1 of each chord is on the downbeat) B A G F E. (3 of each chord is on the downbeat) D C B A G. (5 of each chord is on the downbeat) F E D C B. (7 of each chord is on the downbeat)

This video takes for granted some music theory background, and some basic Jazz improv rules. I'll take a stab at stuff you might want to look up. Apologies if you already know this. 1. "dominant scale": we need to know what scale to play over a chord in a chart. The only Dominant chord in a major key is on V. Hence, on a chart, we assume a dominant chord functions as a V. If we see F7, it functions as V of Bb and (by default) we play the Bb major scale over it... regardless of the key of the song. 2. This way of interpreting chords and scales doesn't tell us how to use chromatic tones, which are essential to authentic jazz lines. We want to introduce chromaticism into our melodic phrases, in a pleasing way. 3. THE THREE RULES: when playing scales over chords, if we play chord tones on the beat, we can play almost anything in-between. The ear will be happy. Barry's rules use chromatic tones as filler that pushes the chord tones back onto the beat. This gives us clearer harmony AND chromatic color. Win-win. For the rest of the video, we are expected to understand root motion by descending 5ths. 4. In functional harmony, the most fundamental root motion between chords is motion by descending fifths. You should be familiar with the progression I IV viiø iii vi ii V I ... with triads, with sevenths, and with extensions. In this video, Bill assumes we are familiar with the role of root motion by 5th in functional harmony, and the ways extensions merge two chords into one. 5. The FAMILY OF DOMINANTS The crucial bit here is that b9 sounds great on a Dominant chord. But now we have a fully diminished 7th chord stacked on the dominant. Diminished 7 has no head or tail, it's four equally spaced intervals. It's "root" is whichever of the four tones we want. There are only 3 diminished chords, each of which can have any of 4 roots. So, if we spell G7(b9), Bb7(b9), Db7(b9), E7(b9), each contains exactly the same diminished chord. We can use this equivalence as a bridge to relate different, even distant, chords in a musical way. Hope that helps

@jofinsky8400

I have an easier rule for all this. You can play one-half step passing tones over any notes in the scale of the chord that you are in, and it lends a jazzy sound. If you are in C7, you can add tones from C#7 scale randomly as long as you resolve on a note in the C7 scale. If you are leading to F, you can use notes in the F# scale as passing tones.

Just one thing to clear up. The half-step rules for the non-chord-tones work fine for the first 9 notes. After that, you need to go to either 1 or 3 passing tones for the chord tones to land on the strong beat.

Hi Bill, Thanks for this awesome video, as an improviser and saxophonist I've always been intrigued about phrasing. So recently been wondering about how Charlie Parker's phrasing compares to Bach and I actually found loads of similar sounds. Then actually I did an experiment to checking Bach music with more attention to phrasing and this time around listen with a jazz musician's perspective/point of view to his phrasing. This experiment made me go back to working with more focus on the direction of my lines and making my phrasing more linear or say more horizontal as an improviser. Over the years I guess I realized that somehow as a saxophonist or say we the single line(melodic) instruments generally tend to have more of a vertical approach to playing/improvising, at least my case. This Barry Harris method/system not only really opens up great possibilities but also helps to work on your note placement, phrasing and overall improve your playing. Many Thanks

This was a killer video. I've been working out Barry's whole chromatic scale approach where you just fill in the whole steps of a 7-tone scale with the chromatic notes and whenever you run into a half step, you skip a scale tone and go back to the target note and go right back to proceeding in half steps, keeping the scale-tones on beat. I've been doing it with the major and melodic minor scales in all 12 keys in all the different positions up and down the neck of my guitar. I've been trying to hit it every day for at least an hour. At this point I'm blazing through them mostly. Once I have them 100%, I'm gonna be spending months working it into my improvisation on standards and stuff. Its some of the most enriching stuff I've gotten into, ever, I can already tell. Using his concepts ensures a full engagement of one's consciousness. It encourages mindfulness like a MFer.

Probably the best video about the Barry Harris way of building lines. Yes, it really sounds like Bebop. Congrats.

So incredibly well summarised! Thanks for your contribution. A thunderbolt struck me when I saw Barry's explanation in the workshop recordings, and so much confusion lifted. It was quite an epic moment. Finding your video not soon after has really helped reinforce and distill down some of most fundamental teachings. thank you so so so much

Seems like a lot of KZitem jazz teachers have been putting out videos about Barry Harris concepts and either getting them wrong, using wrong terminology, or not fully explaining them. Your explanations are among the best I’ve seen and in some ways maybe even superior to how Harris presented them (just in that you are a bit more slow and systematic). Thanks for taking the time and doing things right!
