Hey, what's up, folks, Adam Manas here for the Friday edition of the You'll

Here at podcast, back at you solo, flying solo for the rest of this week.

Hopefully we're going to get

peter martin back in here in the pod cave on on monday but i am at the piano we get a lot of

requests for episodes at the piano and i'm talking about some some popular requests we've had

and been meaning to do at the piano but haven't haven had the time. And we thought with Peter gone,

we can move over here and cover some of this stuff. Today we're going to be talking about

Barry Harris's sixth-diminish scale and how to use it. Just the basics of it. This is a very

deep process, this study. I highly, highly encourage you to go to youtube there's tons of videos i

think he even has some stuff for sale check it out on on his website try to find it from the

source uh guys a genius i've been lucky enough to attend a couple of these master classes and be

be the guinea pig when i was young and it was really really eye-opening. And I'm by no means like a six-diminished

expert with it, you know, fully in my hands to the deepest levels. But I think I understand

the basic concepts of it from these master classes. And I'm happy to try to highlight some of the

things I think are important about it.

And then I'll say another thing about this too.

Like, because Barry is so charismatic and so dogmatic about this approach, a lot of people think that maybe this is something that every jazz musician should know and does know.

And it's just common knowledge at this point.

And that's just not true.

I was talking to a friend of mine,

a really, really great tenor saxophonist.

And he was saying that he doesn't think about it like this at all
