Barry Harris' 6th diminished scale provides a simple to understand explanation of jazz (especially bebop) harmony. But just because it's simple to understand, doesn't mean it's easy. This video shows real world examples of the scale in action, and provides you with practice techniques.

Excerpts of Barry Harris in this video are from workshops Barry recorded at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Recorded and edited by Frans Elsen, and made public by Bryson Reed.
