I look at it this way! The word "ALTERNATE" explains a lot!! If you play up and
down and restrict yourself to semitones you only get chromatics which are not i
mmediately obvious in terms of hinting at structure, However, if you take 12 not
es and you play each ALTERNATE note you get the 1st whole tone scale. This is t
he first step in creating a new structure "ALTERNATION". Obvious hey? If you the
n play the notes in between you get the 2nd whole tone scale! Ok sorted!!!! But
if you then ALTERNATE "whole-tone, semitone, whole-tone, semi-tone"....until you
reach 12 you get THE DIMINISHED SCALE!!! IF you then start again with either of
the whole tone scales and ALTERNATE you get AUGMENTED ARPEGGIOS. However, if yo
u do the same with the diminished scale you get DIMINISHED ARPEGGIOS!!! This isn
't jazz!! (Although it is the music I play!). This is music at it's structural c
ore!!! Does it explain major chords? Yes, take an augmented arpeggio and flatten
any note! What do you get? A major triad!! Sharpen any note and what do get? A
minor triad! Take any diminished 7th arpeggio and flatten any note, what do you
get? A dominant 7th arpeggio! Sharpen any note and what do you get? A min7b5 arp
eggio!! So, Augmented, whole tone structures create TRIADS!!! ie 3 note harmony!
! Diminished structures create, QUADS or 4 note harmony!! Then, there is how sca
les are truly built! Hit me up for that because it is very involved!! But it all
stems from this!!! Barry Harris is totally right that it all goes back to dim a
nd whole tone!!?

This is what i get ... start from Cmaj then Dmin7, Emin7 ,... now you would ex
pect Fmaj7 as fourth degree chords ... instead move to Fm7 and think it as seco
nd degree of Eb tonality ...now continue from Eb and moves as you did from Cmaj
... so it will be Ebmaj - Fmin7 - Gmin7 ... then Abmin7 and so on ... after 4
cycles you are back on C tonality , that happens at 4:55?

Barry drives this session to the "heart and soul" of the matter. Excellent "han
ds-on" theory and application. A visual transcription might have been helpful gi
ven the sequential and incremental flow and complexity of concepts, but given th
e organic flow, it would've been impractical. Barry is quite correct -- and ca
ndid -- about "teachers are wrong all over the world...they certainly didn't ask
Hank Jones, they didn't ask John Lewis, Dick Cats, John Bunch, and they the one
s we learn from..." That's the reason that most modern jazz pianist sound exactl
y alike! They fall between the 25%ile and 75%ile of proficiency, and they all p
lay the same exact drills, licks, motifs and scales - quite efficiently, but wit
h no ingenuity or originality. Don't get me wrong, I too fall in this category!
Today there's just a handful of jazz pianists alive that fall at the >99.9%ile,
in the legendary category of Barry Harris, the technical monstrosity of Chick C
orrea, the creative genius of Herbie Hancock, or the improvisational mastery of
Keith Jarret. I guess that's why they're the masters! Thanks Barry, for keeping
it real.?

Hey Karim,
Yes it would make a dissonant sound but I think as with everything,
you have to (according to Barry) "resolve" it eventually.
Remember to that Barry is a MASTER lol
He can resolve ANY note. Also take into consideration his
Approach to harmony is very unique and at times he's very
strict in his rules to use.
So when he says he can borrow any note from the diminished for any other scale,
It's because his whole approach to harmony is based off his diminished theory.
So short answer : yes (if you can understand Barry's concepts)
