Chris - you’re the man. Thank you so much for all of this. I feel like at some level I “know” these things, in that I can hear them, and have played them from transcribed solos; yet, still couldn’t fully codify them enough to grasp them or bring them into my own playing. Any type of bebop phrasing/language that has worked its way into my lines over the years, is purely by osmosis - running transcribed solos over & over again. I’ve tried to follow Barry a few times over the years, but as you state - he moves really quickly, especially if you’re only watching short clips & not sitting in the room with him. The way you break down & slow down these concepts is so perfect. These videos are an absolute treasure.

What an eye opening tutorial! I come from a hard rock/ blues rock background and I've always felt like jazz was some mystically unachievable, 'you either got it or ya don't' genre. Now I see what I need to practice to add the sounds that I want to hear, to my playing style. Using pivoting & Barry Harris' half step rules, is really going to expand my vocabulary. Congratulations & Happy Anniversary, Chris!!!

Thanks again for laying this all out on guitar. Transposing is arduous and by the time I have finished, I've often lost the point I was trying to pick up on in the first place. -Much Gratitude

Thank you very much, such a nice approach. When you re improvising over a II V you do it just over the V?

super lesson! When playing a descending chord can we pivot up an octave also? Or is that not jazzy ?
@Samuelee97

Yes you can... Instead of doing (Top root) (octave lower 3 5 7) you can you do the opposite: (Bass root) ( top m7 5 m3)

Trumpet players have it even worse than sax and also do this octave displacement all the time. Barry's method is super great. But I hate the way he mangles Giant Steps for essentially political/polemical reasons. Trane and hard boppers (including Wes (who Barry also tends to put down)) specifically wanted to voice those chords and play those subs exactly the way they did. This was a new sound and it certainly wasn't from ignorance of harmony/voice leading, as Barry clearly implies. Barry, when he complains about modern pianists, sax players (OMG the way he off handedly puts down Trane is dreadful) and Wes, comes off not unlike a modern day Artusi (attacking Monteverdi.) But for playing bop, no method compares to Barry's. (and YOUR videos are all uniformly superb).

Many players who were the real deal trashed other players who we love. You just have to accept that they have their reasons. No doubt some equally prominant person would totally disagree with Barry, and you could get a lot from them as well. I'm thinking about the guy who was asked about Ornette, and said that he should learn to play saxophone. And many classic players hated Bop. But they were all great in their own way.

Where has Barry spoken about Wes Montgomery? What did he say?
