    My man. Hit me with those scale of chords in fifths.

    Any chance of a video comping on a tune?

    Ive been trying to do this stuff but with a top note on the chord and just the guide tones for the diminished chords. It’s happening but slowly … would like to hear how you’re making it work with just the two notes all the way through

    Fifths? You peasant.

    Actually its interesting to me and no doubt no one else that the BH scale of chords kind of fixes parallelism.

    I'm a fan of 2 note chords on BH. I use 3rds when I want to play 8th notes without screwing up.

    Sixths and (especially) tenths are very useful as well.

    Great, another thing I should spend time on…

    This sounds really cool.

    I think they sound super cool. The fifths are super useful because they line up with those she’ll voicings, but I haven’t really played much (at all) with those little contrary motion cells. Those sounded great.
