Barry Harris workshop C Major and Minor 6th Diminished Scale clip

[csilva85]

His nomenclature could throw someone off...but the 'scale' Harris demonstrates is simply a Cmajor scale with an extra note thrown in - the Aflat. The resulting scale is now 8 notes and therefore [since most jazz is 4/4] "synchs up" rhythmically [melodically, and harmonically - as Harris demonstrates elsewhere - as well].

Actually, all major scales, as well as minor ['minor6th 'and 'dorian' especially] as well as mixolydian [dominant 7th] should be played with these "chromatic corrections'...

@csilva85 isnt that the major bebop scale?

[csilva85]

@wschrad - Exactly! Thanks for making that point...obviously different people will use different nomenclature, but the resulting "sound" is still the same.
