I’ve been watching so many Barry harris videos lately that now I’m just constantly making up bebop lines in my head. I’ll walk to the kitchen just like “BE BA DA BO DE-DA!!”

I'm a guitarist so my man is Wes Montgomery; Barry was in Wes' band and your lessons help bring his signature m6 pieces (four on six, summertime etc etc etc) to life... really hip thanks !

This is a beautiful explanation of how to use Barry and Tonic dominance I shall be back.

I have never understood the G-6 vs G-7 on this song and I've been playing it for more time than I care to admit. Thank You!

I listened to Cannonball's version of Autumn Leaves the other day and realized something was off and dull in my playing. I could clearly hear that E, but I didn't understand why it worked and made the song so much more hip sounding. It's the Gm6 that I had been playing as Gm7. Super encouraged that I I'm starting to hear, and so grateful for your explanation about establishing the minor tonality with the 6 chord and the melodic minor. What a huge difference this insight will make! Thanks so much!

[jameschesterton]

You explained that better than Barry himself.

I really enjoy and benefit from your content. But your style, your presentation suits me so well. Like hand in glove. Thank you. Best wishes... health, joy and wellbeing.

Thanks so much. I learned so much from this and the best part is to practical application of the theory. But how do we know g minor is melodic minor not harmonic minor with Flat 6 (e flat instead of e natural in melodic minor)? A half dim chord before d7 also has e flat. Thanks!

So that's how Eddie Higgins squeezed the Volga Boatmen into his version!
