I can’t believe I never thought of playing the scale like an on off every other note being a diminished. This is going to help so much. Now I can’t not hear it that way. I think when you first start learning this it can’t be overwhelming my brain kind of freezes.

I’m getting used to it. Right now i’m focusing on the first 6 floors (up to drop 4) on all scales degrees of major. Practicing in thirds on shell and triad . Very fun and helps me connect everything up! Thanks for the content. 😁

Does the elevator work in diatonic scales? There are more shapes, but can you still ascend and descend the voicings in order to voice lead?

Hello. I took a little detour and tried some fourths with the minor 6 scale. Pretty interesting results. I get thirds for 3 notes of the scale because its 8 notes. Have you done any of this?

I wouldn't recommend thinking that way if you want to become solid in this method. That's just borrowing. It may seem like semantics, but it's actually one of the more important conceptual distinctions. Very important to keep clear on it:) If you were to ask me, "have you tried borrowing above the top note when playing thirds?" I'd say yes for sure. All the borrowings all the time:)

@@TheLabyrinthofLimitations Ok, that makes sense. Thanks! I guess it could be thought of as borrowing then for first floor, now I think of borrowing for the others and the fingering could be a little tricky!

My instrument (chromatic button accordion) does not lay well beyond the drop 2 ‘rung’ (5th degree?). Does it make sense to only learn the portion of the ladder that my instrument allows, and compensate by mastering those 5 steps from each scale tone?

Absolutely! Just work the boundaries of your instrument from the smallest to whatever is feasible. Thirds, triads, and shells are my favorite and most used floors :)

@@TheLabyrinthofLimitations At some point I’d like to show you how the layout of Chromatic Button Accordion relates to Barry Harris Theory. Its as if it were invented specifically to play Barry’s music. Hint… the three rows are each diminished 7th chords. A min or maj 6th chord can be constructed using any 2 rows. Guess what the third row therefore automatically is? kzitem.info/news/bejne/zmxruKONi4l_gY4

Thanks for all your videos Tommy! Do you have any resources on how to harmonize melody notes that aren’t in a given chord scale? For example when the 6th degree is played on a dom chord in a tune (which doesn’t exist in our in the dom7 diminished scale?)

great question! I have to be careful in answering this, though. It's important that we take things one step at a time. . . For example, there are MANY wonderful things that come from "borrowing" --so much so that I am constantly borrowing on almost every beat when playing polyphony. Still, It's helpful to first learn the "on" and "off" structure of the scale before blending things with "borrowing". Similarly, there is a fluidity between all the things that we do on a V7 chord. This is what I call the "scale of scales" and the "extended family". All 12 notes have wonderful ways of being played on a Dom7. I "borrow" and move amongst the different "degrees" of the scale of scales (moving from a Dom7 flat 5 into a diminished, into a minor 6 family member, for example. I do this as befits my aesthetics, of course. This takes time, and your question has a bit of the "jumping ahead of things" quality to it --though it is a great question. It's a great question for private lessons:). When thinking of the 6th degree, I think of Dom7 Family members (E7 over G, for example). I also think of the minor 6 family (E natural is a borrowed note in the D minor 6 dim scale over G, for example). I also think of the octatonic/ diminished scale. These are advanced things but also quite simple if you take it one step at a time. It's all part of the language. The end result is speaking it the way we speak any language. . . Hope that helps a bit and isn't too convoluted

One thing I’ve been trying here lately is playing a scale of chords against the dominant five chord. But with the caveat of using the “off” (diminished) cord with respect to the tonic as the “on” chord. For example if I am playing D minor 7 to G7 to C major seven I’ve actually tried using the “off” chords for C major six on the downbeat against the G7 which works out very well. I’ve tried the same exact approach playing the C minor6 Diminished against G7 since C minor six Diminished has the same “off” chords. Again I’m just using the “off” chords on the downbeat against the dominant.

I guess you could do that only with the two outside voices and later on you fill with two additional voices. Often times, I notice that the inside voices appear more instinctively within the two voice framework. But man you are so far away...
