Mind Blown
Yeah, mind blown from nerding out on theory with Robbie yesterday and starting to look into Barry Harris and his theories/approach.
You saw it Robbie, I had to sit down on that chair to ponder the implications. It was like feeding a nuclear warhead to a child for an afternoon snack.
So every diminished 7 chord converts into a Dominant chord, a different dominant chord…by lowering a single note half step, and they amount to a regular Dominant, a Backdoor Dominant and a Tritone Substitution…
“Get out of here… go away Robbie” I believe were my exact words. I know all these things but I never made the deeper connection and realization. Its been right there in front of my face the whole time!
This is mind expanding stuff, dangerous in the hands of a guy like Me who is now on the hunt to understand the deeper implications. Because I believe, not sure yet because I’ve not dug into it by myself, that the number of chord options one has may have either doubled or tripled.
Yesterday I also learned that some of Ted Greenes chord forms were never intended to actually be played, which at the time I wrestled with Ted Greene for the first time, probably would be the 1970s where my Dad had it and then the early 90s where I, foolish mortal, thought “oh hey I’ll do Me some Ted Greene, My dad had this book”.
I was not made aware of that tiny bit of information…so I fled that book screaming in horror never to return, hating it while being in awe and scared at the same time!
