Music theory is constantly evolving as new musical ideas are being developed. Does it really help? I'm a pretty mathematically minded person, and it would suit me just fine if playing by algorithm made wonderful music, but it has never worked for me.Hard not to respond with snark, so here goes as straight an answer as I can: Seems the Barry Harris concept is as theoretical and convoluted as more coventional music theory. So for me, I don't see it so much as theory, more as a very helpful practical method.
It makes harmonizing a melody or playing a chord solo much easier, it makes solo guitar easier, and it adds a lot more interesting choices and movement to comping.
28 in this thread), and it's easy to move between them, all from basically just learning sixth chord and diminished chord inversions. The minor version is almost the same, you just lower the E to Eb.įrom this you can get almost any chord you like (see post no. Every chord you get is then a sixth chord or a diminished chord. Barry just adds one note (Ab) to the C major scale, from this you can harmonise each degree of the resulting 8-note scale. Does it really help? I'm a pretty mathematically minded person, and it would suit me just fine if playing by algorithm made wonderful music, but it has never worked for me.It's actually quite simple in concept.
