Glad to see Barry Harris concepts becoming more public. We know so little.

[@greggakkerman]

The biggest gem in this video was your last sentence: “it’s not four different chords, it’s ONE chords moved through a scale.” This could be its own video topic.

[@SBSmashers]

This is the best breakdown of Barry Harris stuff for beginners I have ever seen. I finally get it! Instant subscribe your channel is massively underappreciated.

[@JazzSkills]

Welcome aboard and thanks very much!

[@bcj842]

I love simple ideas like these. They get me to think outside my own box.

[@JazzSkills]

You're right. It doesn't need to be complex.

[@Winelighter]

Nice lesson. Thanks. I like your teaching style 👍🏻

[@patriciaann6380]

What a great tutorial, thank you 😊

[@kunzhiLiang]

Hi,Shan! I finished all your videos in this few day. Your videos about BH's method were help me a lot, and just took my "step movement" skill to the next level! I am very greatful for that! And I hope you can talk about how to play repeat notes on one chord next time, such as the part B of Misty. That confused me when I pratice BH's method. Appreciate it again!!!

[@vivingeorge8417]

Yes, Shan we would love to see how repeated notes can be dealt.. Thanks!

Delicious for exercises ❤ for beginners 😊

[@abath07]

Excellent demonstrating on ATTYA

[@JazzSkills]

I had to think about that for a minute! :)

[@willzang3000]

sick!

[@mintygreen8760]

These are great videos! Even for guitar they're a good way to get some of the key concepts down - although some voicings are challenging!

[@JazzSkills]

Thanks and I'm glad they're helpful.

[@bcj842]

3:50 for Fairy Fountain 😉

[@victoza9232]

[@danle2884]

@@JazzSkills Thank you so much.

[@humblemai2211]

Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano... thanks

[@JazzSkills]

Most of my videos are applicable to bop, although they might not say it in the title.

[@yvesrobyns1522]

Wich playalongs do you recommend?

[@alamolalamol9426]

‘12 or nothing’ lol…that’s me..😂

[@SBSmashers]

Around 6:42 you start playing the "1st and the 5th" in your left and and the "3rd and the 6th" in your right hand. You then play 'D and Ab' in your left hand... but Ab is not the 5th of D, that should be A? Then, on the next you play 'E and A' in your left hand... also not the 1st and 5th since the 5th of E is B, not A (a is the P4 here, not the P5?)
I don't think you are actually playing the '1st and the 5th' in your left hand here... am I missing something? Please explain.,
Can you please explain what's going on there? I'm confused. Are you playing the "1st and 5th' in your left hand or not?

[@JazzSkills]

So I think what you've missed is that the root at 5th are moving through the major 6th dim scale.
The scale has: C D E F G A Ab B C
Therefore, the first few left hand intervals will be:
*C* D E F *G* Ab A B C |
C *D* E F G *Ab* A B C |
C D *E* F G Ab *A* B C |
I hope this helps.

[@chrisharrison809]

Man… “never double the 3rd” is such nonsense. It makes sense with some huge voicing in orchestra but piano players are like… parallel 5ths and 3rds and octaves all over the place.

[@JazzSkills]

True Chris. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doubling particular notes. It's all about taste and sound. For example, new students often play octave Cs in the left, plus C E G B in the right for CMaj7. They have 6 notes and 3 of them are C. That's too much for me. However doubling 3rds and several other notes often works well.
