This is powerful information. The use of the harmonic minor scale with the diminish chord is an eye opener. Thank you boss.

Excellent instructional video I'm a jazz musician who is really into Barry Harris and his use of fully diminished cords and your perspective gives me a different way to teach. That is less confusing so I really appreciate it

I been playing jazz for years and I too just couldn’t get into Barry Harris. Everyone I know who plays that style seems to have a “musical stutter” when their playing. Whereas my feeling is that your playing should be free and instantaneous!

@@user-vf5bv6vo4b I see what you mean in many of my students Sometimes it just seems too complicated so they're overthinking Honestly, his method is the best I have found to break bad habits that guitar players seem to get but my main instrument is double bass I also play double bass in a gospel praise and worship group as well as Latin music and as a freelancer, anything that pays the bills Again, thank you for the content and I think this approach would work better with some of my beginner piano students especially

Bro at first in the beginning I thought he was going to the church modes here: 1. Ionion-Magor 2: Dorian 3. Phrygian 4. Lydian 5. Mixolydian 6. Aeolian 7 Locrian I learned these modes when I was 12 yrs old. I’m 57 now and I’m mostly an ear player with perfect pitch. I mostly use licks and patterns when I play. After playing for so long I honestly just find things easier to listen to and play by ear. When I’m teaching or playing with other musicians I use road maps system by John Elliot! But I like the way he used these scales in this way where before I was using the: Hw/Wh diminished scales over Diminished chords! But I’m going to play a few songs and try these out..

please do a video on minor scales and how you to use those licks you did and how to effectively master them

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out.

If a diminished chord is lowering the 3rd & 5th, why are you adding the 6th? To add fill or ???

Advice for later videos. Please focus only on one song and go more slowly so we can follow every step. It is too fast

Can you please do a video on augment chords to?

6 scales

Absolutely. 6 scales. C major D harmonic minor E harmonic minor F major G major A harmonic minor

You lost me in the first :30 seconds. Why did you come all the way down to play F diminished and G diminished when they both were a half and whole step away from the C diminished you played? Keep your teaching simple and just say C# diminished and D diminished next. This is exactly why people have gaps in their application of theory.

Thank you for commenting. I appreciate your insights. However, permit me to also add that there’s no specific way to understand or make reference to the three diminished seventh chords you mentioned. 1. #Tonal# Using the 1, 4, and 5 of any key you’re in. For example, it can be F diminished, Bb Diminished and C diminished in the key of F major. 2. #Cyclical# You can also pick any three adjacent notes in the circle of fourths/fifths as well. For example: C diminished, G diminished and D diminished; or C diminished, F diminished and Bb diminished. 3. #Chromatic# We can also pick three adjacent tones in the chromatic scale. The same way you suggested C, Db, and D, we can decide to go the opposite direction and use C, B, and Bb diminished. 4. #Wholetone# It’s also possible to pick any three notes of the whole tone scale to reference the diminished seventh chord. That way, we can have C diminished, D diminished, and E diminished. Now, the reason why C, F, and G were used in the video is to associate it with the tonic, sub-dominant, and dominant. If you know your 1, 4, and 5 in any key, you can apply the concept taught here. Is there any reason why the 1, 4, 5 is difficult?
