The truth is I may have understood 5% of the theory on this seven series video. But I just feel it completely changed my way of looking at music. Truly amazing stuff, thanks a lot for sharing this knowledge.
lol me too. i'm definitely going to research a lot of these concepts further. The diminished 6th harmony system seems really great.
It’s amazing to revisit this video once you’ve explored his theory for a while and everything he says finally paints a full picture uniting all 12 tones
@@tbird-music I wonder did he ever get together with other teachers to change the way we are taught, (as he says at the end of the video).
"Now that was you!Everything else you played was somebody else"--Monk
That was Barry's line, he said "it would be interesting if he said 'everything else you played was somebody else'"
That effortless slide between Chopin and jazz improvisation like nimble feet dancing on an ivory floor.
Wonderful stuff, I play in minor thirds,, when I play jazz, every monday in a local restaurant, I am 85, been playing since I was 9 years old, was classically trained and teach here in Spain
It's unfortunate that little by little we are losing the greatest jazz pianists like Mr Barry Harris, a true piano genius.
Al B losing him how?

Rest easy Legend, and hey thanks for teaching us Cat.
Barry Harris is a beautiful human being. wow, listen to the that!
I keep visualizing myself sitting with Barry at the piano and playing what he calls. Chills.
Richard: hits one key
Barry: that's a diminished
Eli: ooooooooooooooooohh
😆
My musical paradigm has shifted. I love you Barry Harris
What an absolute joy it is to experience Barry Harris playing the piano. His theory is simply beautiful, complex, and soul satisfying - a forever challenge to anyone who loves the music. THANK YOU! I am blown away by it all. I fall asleep every night trying to get through your scales!
It seems that Barry, along with his fellow pianists, has ushered in the piano’s Age of the Moving Continuo, breathing life into the static (though beloved) accompaniments we have enjoyed since the Baroque Era. His Albertis don’t sit in one place, they glide in passing diminished flights and swells, imbuing every passage with a quality that I can only call magic.
Watched all 7 parts! Well worth it!
Imagine you have a grandpa like him. Always sits on the piano at home, with his finger dancing on the ivory keys
man, this stuff is t r e a s u r e!
Thank you Eli for ambushing Mr Harris into playing My Ideal. I was working out on the elliptical at the time and for a few minutes I was walking in the park.
This guy is truly incredible. The knowledge, the talent, the pure passion.
That man is a national treasure
What is the piece Barry starts playing at 5:12? It feels like I'm listening to a Chopin Mazurka that I've never heard before. Absolutely beautiful.
You folks are doing great work.This video is really priceless!!
Kay Benyarko Kay Paul from Pianostyle100.. This is pretty neat..
PIANOSTYLE100 lol yes it is
I love this - I’ve watched many times and keep getting new things from it. ❤️
OMG This Monk all the way! The interview is definitely legendary!!
Thank you for these video lessons.. Now i'm playing and studying more with my heart, thanks to Mr Harris and this magic Academy..
"My Ideal" @3:42
"Stella by Starlight" with "borrowed" diminished notes @9:35
Thanks guys!! Barry is Master
I watched all seven parts, and I'm totally blown away. Please, Eli, write a book breaking down his teaching. You have to make sure this doesn't get lost.
:) I love vidios with Barry. So much cool stuff, and he is so fun.
Peace
Gershwin uses that harmony at 12:27 alot in Rhapsody in Blue
Great.
Sensei master class
These are amazing I appreciate these videos so much. Any way you could have Rich make a video of him applying some of these concepts to guitar?
Has Barry recorded the piece at 5:10 and if so where can i find it? It's absolutely beautiful
Did you ever find it?
@@bc4946 just youtube 'chopin minor' they all sound like that lol
what a treat! thank you!
Beautiful!! Thank you! Now I just need to get my head back on, the right way around.
This is amazing
Understanding music theory amplifies your innate talent by 1000 times.
Great ! More please!
I love vicissitudes
6:21
Hmm.. you know that part he says "that was you" ... I like listening to don patterson and he does something kind of like that!
What does Barry mean by teaching things wrong? I'd love to understand his perspective, it must be incredible.
He teaches what chords are the same and can be interchanged, like in the end he shows that a minor 6th chord a fifth away from the dominant is the same. So when people practice for example Vm6 to I7 thinking they're practicing a V-I change, it's really not, because those two chords are based on the same diminished chord and are the same, and one can be played instead or over another.
Actually he at first plays Bbm6 over G7 which is a bit more complex. Bbm6 is an m6 chord a fifth away from Eb7 which is a triton away from G7. So Bbm6 is a minor chord to substitute for Eb dominant. So there's also a triton substitution. Anyway, the thing is they're based on the same Fdim7 chord.
He also is referring to the his teaching of the diminished scale. It's an essential scale in jazz but its taugh as half step-whole step or whole step-half step. Which is wrong. It comes from three diminishes. When you learn it like this it makes more sense how and when you can use the scale
Quel Qu'un I assume he must have meant Abm 6 and Db7...
@@loocheenah you're right but he's playing Ab-6 over G7 (the tritone is Db, the tritone's minor is Ab-6)
Hey, Kay.. Last week I did a video with kinemaster editor for Android. It was on the dominant half whole diminished scale . I harmonized it in sevenths.. It sounded like the cousin of Barry's diminished sixths. At the end I was struggling with something to put in the description. I googled dom diminished scale.. Wow.. I did not know how extensively this scale was used in jazz,z. Herbie Hancock, and host of who's who..one site had
Mp3s of sax players , pianist ,etc using it. It seem like such a simple scale, but it is powerful as the alt scale.
Thank you so much for this music treasure video... Such an inspiring videos from an great teacher...
yes yes
This is great stuff.
I think jazz is more rich in harmonic changes than classical music.
Oh my friend you'll be surprised to find the outrageous harmonic stuff you can find. Mozart's D major quintet brings you from D major, A major, through F major to F# minor in a matter of a couple lines. Brahms' 2nd Intermezzo of the op 117 brings you to E DOUBLE FLAT MAJOR at one point. Not to mention all the incredible harmonic feats Bach accomplishes with his ridiculous knowledge of scales and counterpoint: the D minor Chaconne has a moment when Bb, G#, F and D makes you think that it's a Bb dominant BUT IT ISNT! Or in his Passions where the same chorale tune will be harmonized radically differently because of the different shades of emotion of the text.
Then you have the sonic pictures of Debussy and Ravel which are in part influenced by jazz harmonies and other world music. Stravinsky has his funky modal, polytonal soundworld. Prokofiev has his legere, otherworldly chords juxtaposed with brutal hammerings in the 3rd concerto. Shostakovich and his eerie, PTSD minimalism. Each has something so special and unique to offer. Lemme know if you want a playlist!
@@iwanabana can I have a playlist please????
😍😍😍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
where is part 8？
what is the name of the Chopin song that sounds similar to what he was playing?
Maybe Prelude No.4 in E minor, Op.28? Probably just because that's a very familiar piece, though.
It's his etude in f minor I think it's op 25, if not this one check the op 10 set
Mmmm hmm...mmm hmmm...mmhm😂😂😂
bit annoying to hear those uuu's all the time but can't blame him :D
“Wooooooooo” - The guy
These white boys are no pianists i presume
