Barry Harris Workshop 1998 (Full), part 2 "Breaking the Habit" - Filling the Half Steps

This is a part of a Barry Harris Workshop in The Hague, Holland in 1998 Barry Harris explores the possibilities of filling the half steps between notes of a scale by adding a neighbor note and then using it as rule, applied to melodic lines build from various scale degrees. Barry Harris: “Any note can be put in between two notes“ This creative approach is, in Barry’s words helps “breaking the habit“ [of playing the same ideas]. Here is what Barry Harris says: “...what you learn from this - you learn a lot of ways to play something. ...The fellow is gonna be the best, is the one who knows the most ways to play“ “You can’t practice all the ways, it is impossible. You have to know the most ways to play by the rules in your head. And your rules are governors of the whole thing. You have to let the rules govern you.“ ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:25
