About About 'The Barry Harris Harmonic Method for Guitar' Studying the concepts put forth in this book will not teach you a set of hip sounding voicings. You won't come out sounding like everyone else - and that's the good news! What you will find herein are the structural components, as mapped out and developed by jazz giant Barry Harris, that will guide and aid you on your own personal road to discovery.
Imagine, a system for learning jazz harmony that actually embraces the concept of improvisation. As I see it, there are two paths for a chord player to go down. Either one becomes a 'hitter' or, one becomes a 'mover'. The 'hitter' sits up and works out a couple of beautiful sounding voicings for each kind of chord (or worse, learns someone else's from a method book) - and from that point on, plays them exactly the same way.
These vertical groups of notes are 'hit' or 'struck' on the instrument - with no thought to creating movement. The 'mover' on the other hand, understands that chords come from scales and thereby learns to approach chording in a more fluid fashion. As well, one realizes that the interesting spots in music, whether you are comping, harmonizing a melody or writing an arrangement, are the places in between the chord symbols. In fact, I prefer to think - movement-to-movement - as opposed to chord to chord.
When was the last time you listened to the symphony, for instance, and said oh yeah, Am7b5 - D7. It's not that the classical folks don't play chords, they just know something about getting from one to the next in an unobvious manner. Suddenly the musical ceiling gets raised and points us back to the purpose behind this book. Having had the pleasure of seeing Alan grow musically over the past 20 years, I am delighted that his insightfulness and hard work have found their way into a form that others can benefit from. I am confident that guitarists everywhere who are fortunate enough to pick up this book will thank him again, and again.

About Barry Harris 'I guess you could say Barry Harris is one of the very last of the bebop purists that we have on piano. He is a living and brilliant extension of Bud Powell.' Walter Bishop Jr. 'I've always thought that if Charlie Parker had played piano, he would sound exactly like Barry Harris. Or is it the other way around? In any case, Barry's sense of time, motion and rhythm is absolutely impeccable.'
Benny Golson 'A list of Harris' graduates reads like a Who's Who of Jazz; among them are Paul Chambers, Curtis Fuller, Joe Henderson, Lonnie Hillyer, Yusef Lateef, Hugh Lawson, Kirk Lightsey, Charles McPherson, and Doug Watkins.' 'Harris' (method) is unique in both its emphasis and detail, for it teaches students precisely how to transform the (basic theoretical) elements into credible phrases and focuses as much upon the creative processes of improvisation as upon its products, effectively clarifying the relationship between theory and performance practice in the jazz tradition.' 'Harris' theory is an expansive generative method. It encourages musicians to create original phrases based, in part, on the cross-fertilization of rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic models embodied in the rules Harris promulgates.' Excerpts from 'Thinking in Jazz', by Paul F. Berliner, University of Chicago Press 1994.
Testimonials What Others Have Said 'Hi Alan, Just received a copy of your Book. I have been fascinated by this method. You have laid it out so beautifully and I am going to work on it.I have had the opportunity to be play with Barry a few times over the years.
He is truly a master and as you well know he was the first cat to teach jazz in a logical way. I remember Pat Martino telling me about his diminished approach way back in the 70's. He and Barry have been very successful with the diminished approach. Great work and may I bug you with a question or two along the way.Thank you for this book. Great work!!!'
Here are some starting points for seeing the relationships between 6th voicings and their functional equivalents: a) For major 7th chords, play the major 6th chord whose root is the fifth degree of the major scale. B) One approach to a dominant 7th voicing is to play the minor sixth chord on the fifth degree of the dominant.
C) Another dominant 7th approach is to use the minor 6th chord whose root is one-half step up from the root of the dominant. D) Minor 7th chords are just inversions of major 6th chords, so this combination is natural. E) The same goes for minor 7 flat 5 and minor 6th chords. With the latter two examples, thinking in terms of 6th voicings opens up the possibility of moving voicings along a corresponding major or minor 6 diminished scale and then resolving to the next chord, rather than to simply hold a static voicing. As we discussed in Examples 2 and 4, dominant 7ths derived from the same diminished 7th can be used as substitutions for each other. Here is B flat 7 resolving to E flat maj7, and voiced with three substitutions over a shell voicing in the left hand: a) an E7 resolving to a B flat 6 voicing over the E flat maj7, b) a G7 resolving to another inversion of the B flat 6, and c) a D flat 7 resolving to yet another B flat 6 inversion.
Where are the chord symbols, you ask? We could include them as they appear with alerations in Example 4, but Barry wants you to focus on the basic structure of the voicings. As we’ll see momentarily, this makes them easier to move along a scale. This is another approach to resolving borrowed tones.
In the first bar, the E and C sharp are borrowed from the diminished 7th chord of the F major 6 diminished scale; they resolve down to the Fm6. The progression continues in a similar manner until the last bar, where something interesting occurs: What seems at first glance to be a straight-ahead major 9th voicing actually contains three notes borrowed from the A flat major 6 diminished scale (G and B flat). Rather than being static, these notes are unstable in the context of a major 6 diminished scale and can resolve down to the chord tones of an A flat 6.
