Hey guys! I'm back from my holiday in Portugal and I've got LOTS of material for you to practice! This week's lesson is absolutely CHOCK FULL of great exercises for you to practice working out you language for Dominant 7 chords.
We'll be learning all about master educator Barry Harris' excellent method for adding chromaticism to our lines by learning his rules for descending dominant scales. Contra to another of his methods I've covered in the past: the Barry Harris Chromatic Scale, this one is ONLY for use in descending lines. Don't let that fool you though, there's a ton of versatility and interesting language to be found by studying these exercises and phrases.
We'll start off our study by learning the rules and a lengthy exercise for practicing them both on the beat, and on the up-beat. Then, I'll show you guys a huge workout for practicing these concepts in various configurations. We'll combine the rules with ascending runs, leaps, triplet turns, and triads. As if that wasn't enough already, we'll then learn about the four chords that every dominant 7 contains and how we can use those in combination with the half step rules for even more variety!
Finally, as is tradition here at the studio, we'll use everything we've learned to play some phrases over both a major ii-V-I and a minor ii-V-i to see how it all comes together over chord changes.
