In this video, I go over some basic materials you need to know to start using Barry Harris's Sixth Diminished system of harmonic movement. This is a beautifully flexible system that gets you playing all sorts of sounds you wouldn't otherwise think about. I start with the basics, show you how to use it on all different chord qualities, and take you all the way through harmonizing a tune (Irving Berlin's "White Christmas"). For simplicity's sake, all of these examples are in close position, but everything I show you in this video also sounds great in Drop 2. This should go without saying, but of course practice all of this material in every key.
If you're interested in lessons, I'm available over Skype, or if you're in the Atlanta area, we could arrange for private lessons in person.

*My apologies for the occasional audio issues. The levels looked fine when I was recording. I'll try using a different audio interface next time.
