Barry Harris Workshop DVDs 1 and 2

[markmorgan]

I've got both and am working though them.
would be good to hear from others who use this resource. Im especially interested in those who use his alternating 6th-dim-6th-dim idea to create 'movement' in voicings.
Im haveing a lot of difficulty doing this and making it sound musical, even when working through the scales involved.
also - single note line players who've used the info in volume 1 - it would be good to hear your thoughts.
feel free to reference to the accompanying books provided.
these dvd's are not cheap - they are however, certainly worth every penny.
Im happy to start the discussion with a few questions - but would like to know who out there is using this teaching material.

thanks

I have the DVDs as I teach improvisation and am considering using them in class as well. I'm a sax player and find the DVDs and the book really informative.

It does not do wonders but no book does, right?



Anyway, we could discuss this further.

There are some great books on improvisation around, f. i. - "Connecting the harmony" and "Goal note method" (these two are pretty much bop oriented)
