TILF Barry Harris Episode 28 Minor 6th Diminished Chord Ideas for Guitar

This is the Twenty Eighth in several episodes discussing the things i've learned from Barry Harris I started studying with Barry in 1993 and still learn from his teaching every day. I hope I can use this channel to help other musicians who are interested in Jazz but find it a little too cerebral. I think Barry's method, while being cerebral, is also direct and most important beautiful. Please Subscribe and feel free to comment below on how I can improve this channel I'm available for skype lessons if you prefer.

I apologize, It's Episode 28 not 27.

Great chord scale exercises, very useful!

In the previous episode you used the major scale but not the major 6th diminished for this exercise however, in this episode you use the minor 6th diminished but not the harmonic or melodic minor (7 note) scales. The major 6th diminished scale quite obviously works well in this exercise but I wondered whether Barry ever explores the 7 note melodic and harmonic minor scales in this format? I've tried them all and they sound good to my ears, perhaps you left them out intentionally for the student to explore as Barry might. I know he uses harmonic minor but I've never heard him personally talk about the melodic minor. Thanks in advance
