Right. Pivoting is part of Barry's ABC. Anyone interested in Barry's system need to be aware of it and practice it.
Here's example of Barry talking about it (talk starts ~minute 12:00, barry suggest how to practice it ~14:30):

I think surrounds (enclosures) target chord tones root, 3rd and 5th most of the time rather than 2 4 or 7. Agree?
I have attached a .pdf of my revised outline for i vi ii V7 drill.
An also attached a .pdf of 5432 Phrases in C minor, note the "4" phrase using a chromatic triplet

5432.MINOR.pdf

Is this in Alan Kingstone's book?
Let me see if I understand you correctly. Let's do this in C. Starting on G(5th string 10th fret) you descend to E(5th str. 7fret), then you play Root(C) one octave above(4th str. 10th fret). And Lastly descend to the six A(4th str. 7th fret)...is this correct?
Is there an example of this somewhere?
thanks for your help guys.

A little Google and you should have no problem finding examples.

Has anyone hipped Chris (things I learnt from Barry harris guy) to our threads dedicated to the Harris methods?
-
Chris' latest videos breaking down Bird phrases are really good. I like the process of learning all melodic ideas on all degrees of the scale. I have done this ocasionally but will do this much more now as I bet it leads to freedom to play any phrase at any time.
Will we ever get a Barry Harris icon at the bottom?????

-
Chris' newest 3 videos (#34-36) are all very good talking about how to incorporate everything into lines.
-
As I watch, I am mapping out Chris' videos in PDF files, saying what is where on each video (what time in the vid each idea is shown). I have about 2/3 of them done, concentrating on his single note ideas, not the chording stuff right now. If anyone is interested, PM me with your email address.

I thought that’s a refreshing sounding change. so that’s another example of major ii V to minor i.

Speaking of playing a major dominant where you might normally hear a minor/altered dominant:

.
The "5 4 3 2 phrases" are great.
How about adding a 6 and 7 and a 1 phrase to the drills?
I think treat the with the same shape as the 4 phrase.Last edited by rintincop; 05-28-2019 at 12:48 AM.

I transcribed Chris's examples from the end of his video.
