8,500 views and only 371 likes!? Come on people give this guy the thanks he deserves! Yet another absolutley cracking video Nathan. Your videos are kickstarting my whole approach to playing jazz. The great thing is that there is theory but it is concise and built to get you playing , not practicing. Thanks again man!
It is good stuff, for sure, and he seems to have ditched the suit in the bedroom approach, so I expect his channel will grow more soon! How is your jazz now, a year later?
Nathan ,i'm a pianist but your teachings are incredibily changing my life man , my vocabulary has been tremendously expanding since i started checking out your lessons , keep doing a great job !!!!
I'm actually going to be taking some Zoom lessons with Chris from TILF Barry Harris. He's awesome! Please do more videos on Barry Harris! 🙏 He is a genius and the world NEEDS his teachings!
this is a great way to give ideas on how to use the barry harris chromatic scale. using an interval of a fourth to start out was cool and then adding arpeggios is nice.
awesome lines and lesson. i happened to already know this BH stuff, but you brought it to life and showed me how to apply it. the lines you created really swing.
Thanks a lot Nathan. You are not Only Good Jazz Musician , You are Also Good Teacher. I like very much Your Jazz Tutorial Video. Thank You , Thank You , Thank You very much Nathan. God Bless You Always.🙏🙋
Great lesson, but i got confused when you said we should treat the note that we landed on as the 7th of a diatonic arpeggio. From 3:40. Pls i need more clarity.
one thing that i missed much with the "rules-scale" was to hear how to use it. thanks for giving me this opportunity! now i understand and can start to use it :)
I think we have the same guitar. Bravo Deluxe, in the Autumn Burst or whatever they call it ... ? No regrets on that one, just does exactly what it's supposed to, with nothing that I hate about it. Which never, ever happens.
Hi,could you say something about Mystery of Harmonic Major Modes & Functional Harmony? :D Practically anyone talks about it, there are no songs in harmonic Major and his modes,just nothing only some general information about the construction of this scale. So,maybe you have some interesting information about modal music in general, but with an emphasis on harmonic Major and his modes? :D Have you made any videos about it or are you planning to do them in future? it's a very interesting topic, e.g. functional harmony in harmonic Major. In a Natural Major,seven chords have specific functions I,iii,vi - tonic ii,IV - subdominant V,vii - dominant but what is happening in Harmonic Major? (ionian flat 6) in harmonic minor there is even worse because ionian #5 has no perfect fifth ,so, where is dominant for this mode? On vii degree or nowhere? Normally on second degree we have subdominant ii,right? but in harmonic Major ii is diminished,vi is augmented and iv is minor. Diminished chord is treated like rootless dominant in natural Major but in C harm.Major we have two diminished chords (ii and vii) in C harm. Major,diminished ii it would be rootless dominant flat A7 but A flat is augmented in C harm. Major, and G7 is still dominant chord... If you can recommend something, a book, songs list in harmonic Major modes etc. or make a video about it, i'll be thankful Best regards
I’m not understand the part where you say “whatever note you land on act like it’s the 7th and play a diatonic arpeggio” you give an example of landing on c from g (4th) them play Dmin arpeggio. Can you explain more? I understand that c would be the 7th of d and understand that dmin is in the key of c which would be the 2nd degree in the chord scale but why is it minor?
Hi Joshua! Thanks so much for your comment/question. It really helps others who would maybe have that same question get an answer. So the reason I went down a D-7 arpeggio is because when I went up a 4th from G we got to the note C. C is the flat 7th degree diatonically for D-7 (we are in the key of C since the chord we are playing over is G7) so then I just went down the arpeggio and used barry's scale, along with some language, to resolve the line. In the second example, I start from the note B (this is again over G7) and go up a fifth this time! (I made a mistake in the video and didn't label this. My apologies!) So if we go up a 5th from B we would get the note F diatonically. Then we ask ourselves what chord is F the 7th of in the key of C? The answer is G7 so we walk down that arpeggio. I hope this helps! Remember to think in the key you are playing in, that will help you a lot. We could also do another example right now! Say we started on the 2nd degree of G7. So thats A. Then let's go up a 4th so we would get the note D. D is the 7th of what chord in C....E-7! So we walk down our E-7 arpeggio and then find a way to resolve our V7 chord to Imaj7. Thanks again for your question!
Great lesson! Is it a D dorian scale labled as a minor scale? It is a bit confusing, natiral minor should have a bit different pattern, if I get the idea right. Coukd you explain , please? Kind regards!
Hello! Thanks for your comment. Are you referencing the scales at the start of the video? If so, those are just the chromatic pattern used over a major chord (based on the half steps and whole steps), as well as a minor chord and dominant chord.

Wow, thank you so much!
@4:13 I actually went up a 5th but forgot to label it in the video. Just a heads up and sorry for mistake! Thanks for watching!
Please do more. Your teaching method is great!
Thank you for this lesson - I understood it very clearly - Thank You
Glad it was helpful!
I love Barry Harris. I've learned more from watching his theory in 2 years the in all my 38 years pmaying.
Just found your channel - been looking for exactly this lesson! Nice, concise, and practical without being a 'hack' or trick. Im impressed.
Awesome, thank you!
I love Chris Parks. Thanks for shouting him out. I was just learning this yesterday.
Chris is amazing!
Great! Definitely applicable to pianists!
I'm actually going to be taking some Zoom lessons with Chris from TILF Barry Harris. He's awesome!
Please do more videos on Barry Harris! 🙏 He is a genius and the world NEEDS his teachings!
Awesome, Hope it goes well! Chris sounds like he is a great teacher! and yes for sure it does!
1:17 In Major going up, fingering D# and G# with fourth finger is better i think because of force of the index. Downward better index.
Explaines a lot of things and makes the bebop more Understanderly.
Glad it helped!
Great lesson!!
Appreciate it!
this is a great way to give ideas on how to use the barry harris chromatic scale. using an interval of a fourth to start out was cool and then adding arpeggios is nice.
Thanks Stan, Barry was a true master!
@@NathanBortonMusic I have been shedding his scale for months. I wasn’t sure about the dominant and minor application till I saw your video.
awesome lines and lesson. i happened to already know this BH stuff, but you brought it to life and showed me how to apply it. the lines you created really swing.
Thanks rumi! Appreciate it. Barry is the man!
Thanks for shearing
George?
Great teacher always

Wow, thank you for your kind words :)
Great lesson, but i got confused when you said we should treat the note that we landed on as the 7th of a diatonic arpeggio. From 3:40. Pls i need more clarity.
I'm trying to figure it out too. If C is the 7th in a diatonic arpeggio, I guess that make Dm7 the 1.
Excellent lesson!
Thanks! 😃
enjoying your stuff..am also following Chris
Awesome, thank you! Chris is great!
Great!
Thanks for watching!
Good Solid explanation...thx
Nathan, Great lines and great clear concise presentation. Thank you!
No problem!
one thing that i missed much with the "rules-scale" was to hear how to use it. thanks for giving me this opportunity! now i understand and can start to use it :)
You're so welcome!
Fantastic vid ...learned an essential concept...cheers
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

Excellent! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Sounds great! I haven’t tried it yet, but looks complicated.
You can do it!!
Nice take on the concept!
Thanks so much!! Barry is the GOAT (as the kids say now)
@@NathanBortonMusic Ha ha, that he is! Cheers, Daniel
Exelente master jazz
Appreciate your view siglo!
Super vidéo !!! Merci !!!
Hi,could you say something about
Mystery of Harmonic Major Modes & Functional Harmony? :D
Practically anyone talks about it, there are no songs in harmonic Major
and his modes,just nothing
only some general information about the construction of this scale.
So,maybe you have some interesting information about modal music in general,
but with an emphasis on harmonic Major and his modes? :D
Have you made any videos about it or are you planning to do them in future?
it's a very interesting topic, e.g. functional harmony in harmonic Major.
In a Natural Major,seven chords have specific functions
I,iii,vi - tonic
ii,IV - subdominant
V,vii - dominant
but what is happening in Harmonic Major?
(ionian flat 6)
in harmonic minor there is even worse because
ionian #5 has no perfect fifth ,so,
where is dominant for this mode?
On vii degree or nowhere?
Normally on second degree we have subdominant ii,right?
but in harmonic Major ii is diminished,vi is augmented and iv is minor.
Diminished chord is treated like rootless dominant in natural Major
but in C harm.Major we have two diminished chords (ii and vii)
in C harm. Major,diminished ii it would be
rootless dominant flat A7
but A flat is augmented in C harm. Major,
and G7 is still dominant chord...
If you can recommend something, a book, songs list in harmonic Major modes etc.
or make a video about it, i'll be thankful
Best regards
Como siempre una lección excelente. Muchas gracias maestro.
Thanks Salvador!
Hi Barry, please upload a pdf of this excellent work onto your website please, thanks.
Hi DJ! Here is a link to where I have all PDF download for my videos! nathanborton.com/youtube-downloads
Thanks for watching!
What I don't think Chris does is say, "here is a concept Barry taught me, AND here it is on a record where Barry Harris implements the concept".
This has some shred potential bro.
For sure!
I’m not understand the part where you say “whatever note you land on act like it’s the 7th and play a diatonic arpeggio” you give an example of landing on c from g (4th) them play Dmin arpeggio.

@@NathanBortonMusic dude thanks so much for the clarification and speedy response! I’m a new subscriber of yours now! Digging all the videos!
@@NathanBortonMusic - Does that idea work only when playing over the Dominant chord or can you use it with any other chord in the scale?
awesome vid. your delivery reminds me of Crypto Casey
Thanks so much Jon!
Great lesson!
Is it a D dorian scale labled as a minor scale? It is a bit confusing, natiral minor should have a bit different pattern, if I get the idea right. Coukd you explain , please?
Kind regards!
Hello! Thanks for your comment. Are you referencing the scales at the start of the video? If so, those are just the chromatic pattern used over a major chord (based on the half steps and whole steps), as well as a minor chord and dominant chord.
@@NathanBortonMusic Yes, what scale do you play over dm7? It looks like barry harris chromatic concepr over d dorian. Is it correct?
After slowly explaining the principle, you suddenly go fast and skip looking at the descending scale…
Is it 8-9-7 or 8-6-7???
D7 chromatic DD#E G FF#G ?
hey great video man, very informative and easy to understand. Thumbs up! Oh and yes thanks to Barry man was a genius
Glad you liked it! and yes he was!
Great lesson! 👍
Thank you!
