Already posted, but I'll put it here.
Oh yeah, here's another one (unlisted for the reason above)
I also had some pdfs, I don't think I can upload pdfs can I?

Reposted from ATTYA thread:
OK, here's my Barry Harris scale breakdown for this tune. Haven't proofread this so there might be mistakes. The middle eight looks mental with those accidentals, but for non-readers, here's the scale breakdown
1-7 for 1 bar scales, 1-7-1 for 2 bar scales, 7-1 when running a scale down to the third.
Fm7 --> Ab major (I) (Fm7=Ab6)
Bbm7 Eb7 --> Eb dominant (V)
Abmaj7 --> Ab major (I)
Dbmaj7 --> Db major (IV)
Dm7b5 G7b9 --> Bb dominant down to the third of G7 (II7)
Cmaj7 --> C major (III)
Then, same thing in Eb major.
Middle 8 is easy
Am7 D7 --> D dominant
Gmaj7 --> G major
F#m7 B7 --> B dominant
Emaj7 --> E major
C7b9 --> Eb dominant down to the third of C7
Fm7 --> Ab major (Fm7=Ab6)
Bbm7 Eb7 --> Eb dominant
Abmaj7 --> Ab major
Dbmaj7 --> Db major
Gb7 --> Gb dominant
Ab/C --> Ab major
Bo7 --> Bb7 down to the third of G7 (?)
Bbm7 Eb7 --> Eb dominant
Abmaj7 --> Ab major
Run in all positions, octaves etc and you will be in an excellent position to solo on the tune.Last edited by christianm77; 11-05-2016 at 04:57 PM.

Not the most intuitive thing. Good luck. :-)

That's fascinating about "All Of Me." That is one of my very favorite tunes. It hangs together so nicely though I've nearly fully grasped how it hangs together so nicely.

As always what makes this come alive will be the accents and the asymmetrical note groupings ( e.g., playing 2 or 4 note groupings as triplets, accenting various ones on the way-i.e., every 2, every 3, every 4, etc).
Basically, you can just think of the simplest chord form, the triad, and use the formula for the 1 and 3, put them together in combination, as lines moving linearly, and think of interesting rhythmic and accent patterns to play with them, and boom...MUSIC!

Any thoughts on the tritone lines?
In a YT video ("Tritone Lines on Embraceable You", if I'm not mistaken) BH plays something like:
It seems like a pretty straightforward process.
Any tips on that?

Okay, boys and girls, Santa's making a list and checking it twice----are you all practicing like you're supposed to? ;o)
I'm practicing, but a bit less of this than I had intended. But fear not, I have not jumped ship. (Though I did switch picks again. I have cigar box full of all kinds and am using some I have had around for years but didn't take to when I first got them.)
I see this month and next as finishing up a pretty good year and setting the stage for a more productive 2017. And learning more tunes. So all is well, just not as bebop-ish as I had thought it would be by this time. Still do some half-step rule playing every day---starting to come more naturally.

Just noticed that Jamey Aebersold's "black Friday" sale will have Barry's Workshop DVD on sale for 76 bucks. Volume 2 for 84 bucks, and the Vocal workshop will be 42 dollars. Best prices I've seen.
