So, to state this another way, on a one chord play a one chord. On a 4 chord, play a one chord. On a minor chord, play it's relative major. On a half diminished, play a 2 chord. On a five chord, play a 2 chord. And on an altered dominant, just play a minor 6maj7 a half step sharp of your root. Is that correct?

I had spent two years in the music program at CCNY. Then moved to the Jazz performance program at NYU. Someone brought me to Barry's class. I got SO MUCH out of that one night at Barrys, that I dropped out of NYU the next day. I was working on a harmony book for guitar with Barry. I asked him where this whole thing came from. He told me "You're not going to believe this, Steve. I dreamt it" It really becomes obvious if you hang with it a while

As a bass player, the whole thought process of “on a C7, play the 6” is so mind blowing. Usually I’m not thinking of how the notes are all gonna sound together, but rather what notes I can play in that chord.

it's just a C13... Barry harris actually prefers C(b13) because of the diminished flavor and parallel with minor/ diminished scales.

You ought not in my opinion. As mentioned if a C13 was intended or heard in the melody, its up to the individual and setting I suppose. Substituting the 6th for the 7th is not the point for sure. The 7th is funky, bluesy and a strong flavor

@Furniturefosters

@@simondavid3546 IMO the bassist should think more about the written chord and its chord tones. In this case C7. The bassist has to hit that C root first to create the underlying quality of the chord. I think the 6th on the 5th approach is more practical for the ensemble comping the changes on top while staying out of the bassists way. I could be totally wrong.

As a guitarist first and pianist second I agree totally. Theory has always been a little easier for me to grapple with on the keys and then once mastered I can lift that experience to the guitar much easier. At least for me, theory is easier on piano except for the few tricks we have as Ana advantage on guitar such as the ease of sequencing and transposing (most of the time).

Beautiful! Recently fell in love with 6th chords again, so this video came just in time. Also might be fun to subsitute in several steps (like take a IVMaj7, substitute, then interpret the resulting 6th chord as Maj7 and substitute it again) and this way come up with some unusual reharmonisations. Another cool substitution that I found recently was substituting a dom7 chord with a sharp min6 chord, which keeps the characteristic tritone. Anyway, cool channel, I subscribed :)

This is a deceptively elegant and important lesson. For me, this is the first time -- after watching scores and scores of other 'learn-jazz' videos -- where the WHY to learn chord conversion becomes absolutely necessary. Others have mentioned the importance of chord conversions, but you, Josh, have made it clear why it's both necessary and not as difficult (in the long run) as I first thought. Maybe it's just me, and other people/students understood the importance of chord conversions after watching only one or two videos from different jazz artists; but I again thank you for a wonderful lesson. Happy New Year, to you, as well.

I'm better at working with 7th chords than 6 chords so instead of thinking of a GMaj6 over C, I find it easier to think of Emin7 over C, So instead of a 6 chord that's a fifth above the root it's a 7th chord from the 3rd. Same notes, just a different way of thinking about it.

It would be very nice to see the chords you're describing verbally stacked up on the staff- I can't agree with adding the A natural to a C minor- the tritone is the most unresolved interval- of course it's done, but with a particular purpose. It's not an available color tone for something you're regarding as a "tonic", or a resolved chord. The G 6th over a C major makes perfect sense. It's actually an inversion of the 3 minor 7th- an E minor, which is a nice sub for C major in any case. Thanks for this video

You're so right about needing to see these things APPLIED. This is the clearest explanation of 6th on the 5th I've seen, but most of these notations are not so much "substitutions" as they are another way to think about these chords. Fmin7 and Ab6/F are the same chord so one doesn't sound different than the other... until you take it to the next level, which I THINK includes applying the harmonized 6th diminished scales to create movement. Not a lot of movement to be had if the chord only lasts two beats, but creating movement between major 6th and minor 6th chords using the harmonized scale ... I think that's the idea. Or not. Just trying to apply it all myself, and I've been working pretty hard on it for the last year!

I will have to look into it. I've been aware of Barry Harris as a method, but have found some confusion along the way and I'm just starting to feed the ideas into my playing as fresh ideas. This was such a useful video. As an additional use outside this method I did a little study of where all the 6th and m6 chords live fully in the diatonic scale. When using those notes as mini scale you wind up with personal phrases so thought it would have additional utility to have those in your palette (or "arsenal"!) for use outside over those maj7, m7, m7b5 chords@@JoshWalshMusic

Great Video. The application made it so I had to think less!

His way of approaching single lines is directly tied to what musicians of his day actually played. It was quite liberating when I was taught his approach because I was locked up in modes and Aebersold. It wasn't good.

I find it way easier to think of C plus G B D E as a C major 9th chord, which is it's actual function. Not an e min 7th is a Cmaj 9 and e min 9th is a Cmaj 9 #4 and G 6th is C maj 9 and A minor is C 6th an F# min 7th is a C 13 Flat 5....this goes on forever and is a system that if extended to the 12 keys groans under it own weight.

Agreed if you’re thinking of harmonic function. Here he is describing practical application in terms of what ‘chord’ to put in your right hand. It’s a common way to think when actually playing (this chord over that chord equals your chord!). It doesn’t seek to describe function, but aims to simply make construction of the chord easier to remember in the moment.

What Barry did was to make 6th chords a part of a symmetrical scale that incorporates all the inversions of the 6th chord plus all the inversions of the diminished chord related to the dominant chord in the 6th chord’s key: C6/Diminished scale is CEGA plus BDFAb. When you memorize his four basic chord scales, 6th/dim, minor 6th/dim, Dominant/dim, and Dominant 7 b5/dim, you have the makings of every chord type within those scales. He taught how to “borrow” notes from the next scale tone up to create scales which matched other chord types. There is a pleasing dissonant to consonant movement with these scales because they alternate dominant to tonic sounds. I am well versed in the traditional Jazz and Classical theories to analyze standards and chords over scales, but switched to Barry’s way of analyzing tunes because it allowed me more facility over chords and chromatic usage in my improvised lines, it seems easier to get results with for me.

The only reason you say you find that easier is because you haven't fully gotten it yet, and you're thinking language before reality. Think reality before language and you'll see there are way fewer 'things' to consider. It's just sets of notes. Ignore chord names.

With you, Tim. When I was first learning these voicings, I thought of the C Major 9 as a sort of "thicker" or "denser" version of the C Major 7. If I thought of it as anything in terms of triads, it was as G over C, the simplest way to think of it. In my own playing (and in different contexts), I think of the sixth chord as a "cousin" of the 13th chord. I know Harris didn't like chords higher than the seventh, but I do.

I wouldn't say the m2 is bad, but is dissonant. Great explanation!

It might not help anyone but I learned something very similar from my teacher and rather than discriminating a resolved or moving tonic chord I'll simply do these conversions to all Min, Maj, Dom chords in the piece: i-7::bIII6 I7::v-6 Imaj7::V6 They all preserve the tritone when necessary, usually dropping the I-note and adding a II, which is standard for jazz anyway.

Great video, and a nice tribute to Barry. Just curious as to why you'd use a traditional dominant voicing on the minor ii V i, as opposed to the altered voicing you demonstrated earlier. Thanks!
