Jovino, this opens up the possibility of so many beautiful voicings. Thank you so much!
Is watching and listening to this video over and over the best way to get these ideas under our fingers, or is there somewhere a PDF file of an example of something like one chord explained/explored as a visual model to expand on?
Hello Jovino
I did Barry Harris classes 20 yrs ago and was fascinated by his Major/minor dim scale. Scott asked about a pdf covering your class. I agree and note the Lesson Chapters have been listed as ‘coming soon’ for several days.
Would be very helpful to have the ideas discussed as a pdf.
Hi Scott and Ken 👋
I have added a PDF with the -7b5 voicings and directions for practice. I will create the same for the diminished section of the seminar this week.
Ken – I have added the seminar chapters – thanks for you patience as sometimes it can take a few days to add light up keyboard. If there are any specific chapters that you would like to have notated let me know. I have already notated most of the -7b5 voicings in the PDF attached.
Cheers
Hayden
Thanks for one of the best lessons on the site! Every few months I come back to this video and learn (and retain!) more each time. I still have some way to go to understand some of the scales relating to the m7b5 part but I think I understand all the concepts relating to the diminished now. I’m using the triad approach rather than the diminished scale since I still have trouble, even after two years, visualising the diminished scale in the same way that I can visualise a major or minor scale and just put my fingers on the notes. The triads, OTOH, seem to come much more easily.
