Blues Theory through the Barry Harris lens?

[rlrhett]

I’m new to this, so this is meant as an honest, is this OK too under BH?

I saw that question and worked out:

Cmaj up
G7 Up/Down
Cmaj Up
Fmaj Up
Bmin 6 Up/Down
Amin6 Up

Actually, the tone wasn't meant to be sarcastic exactly.... I'm quite genuine. Barry would look at me over his glasses in *that* way, and rightly so.

I saw that question and worked out:

Fmaj Up - it would have to be Fmaj with a B (don't use the L word whatever you do.)

Bmin 6 Up/Down - Hmmm... this is an interesting choice, and not 'wrong' (I can cite examples of players using this sound), but not the default choice as I understand it. You would I think be better off using Am6/dim for the whole II-V-I

Bm7b5 E7b9

We run G7 up and down to the third of E7

G A B C D E F E D C B A G#

Now we do Am6/dim

A B C D E F F#

Now.... Ignore the G at the start of the phrase, and what scale do you see?


A B C D E F E D C B A G# A B C D E F F#

But... but... YOU didn’t use Fmaj. Why Fmaj? Those whole first four bars are diatonic to C. Is it because the next four bars start in F? Why is that A- a iii of F and not the vi of C?

Now.... Ignore the G at the start of the phrase, and what scale do you see?


A B C D E F E D C B A G# A B C D E F F#

I have no F’ng clue.

the f shiuld definitely have a B and not b flat, in a few youtube he makes a big deal about “not all min 7ths are the same. not all maj 7ths are the same, theres 2 maj in each key, 3 min 7 in each key. etc
