Thank you so much for this, PLEASE keep doing barry harris videos. He was the greatest jazz educator of all time and you're carrying it on wonderfully here thank you again
before barry passed I was on the zoom workshops. not in the main group but you were I really have found this system the easiest for me to understand improv I'm glad you are teaching and this is the little stuff I can use. so helpful .
It’s fantastic to see your own enthusiasm and joy when an interesting line comes out. Very motivating to see how great lines can come out of seemingly simple and practical concepts. My favourite Jazz teaching on TH-cam. 👍👓
I saw this video 2 months ago and didn't understand anything what was happening. After 2 months of more practice with my teacher on this tune I know and understand exactly what you're saying and trying to learn. Cheers this is a great video. My first jazz piano song I learned is Out of Nowhere and am struggling with improvisation as I have been improvising over almost the whole tune with only the gmaj scale.
pretty sure it's because the scale up to the seventh ends on the beat and is within a bar. Also it expresses the sound of the seventh chord very well. Barry's teachings are often much more about rhythm than about scales
Check out the original Barry Harris acrhive tapes from Germany on youtube as well as the FANTASTIC TILF - Barry Harris Channel (Things I learned from barry harris) Guy plays guitar but really breaks down the barry method to a tee
@@giorgiooliviero8554 starting on the root in 8th notes - chord tones are on downbeats. In G: G-a-B-c-D-e-F# (capital letters are downbeats - lowercase upbeats). So the same logic applies coming down F#-e-D-c-B-a-G If you wanted to go up to the root G’ would be on an upbeat… coming down the chord notes would all be on upbeats… not a strong outline.
Finally the lesson I needed as a bassist!
Thank you so much for continuing Barry's tradition for us to have access to this. You are a hero.
Thanks for listening and for your kind comment Adam.

Is there a video that explains why Barry had his students play scales up to the 7th rather than the octave or the ninth?
pretty sure it's because the scale up to the seventh ends on the beat and is within a bar. Also it expresses the sound of the seventh chord very well. Barry's teachings are often much more about rhythm than about scales

@@bpba1 Thanks!
There was never a discussion about that (not with me anyway). However, Running root to root doesn't seem to create great phrases.

Awesome! Very handy to use over Just Friends. Thanks
