BARRY HARRIS WORKSHOP VIDEO: PART 2
Barry Harris with Howard Rees
As in all of his creative pursuits, Barry's quest to develop, expand and share this part of his work is tireless. Almost ten years after the completion of the original 'Workshop Video', it made sense to document a new wealth of information and nuance in a second volume.
Shot in a 'clinic setting', this beautifully filmed session is approximately 4 hours, 15 minutes in length and features great overhead views of Barry at the piano. The accompanying 165 page workbook includes a transcription of all the musical examples.
The Barry Harris Workshop Video Part 2 highlights the following three chapters:
'Improvisation'
Intended for instrumentalists and vocalists, this 1st session presents Barry's latest thoughts on chord and scale relationships; feeling the rhythm of a line; scale practice including expanded 'Extra Note Rules'; how to apply 'extra notes'to any scale or grouping of notes; the use of surrounding notes; developing 'turnbacks'; in-depth line building work on 'rhythm changes''; and more.
'The Rhythm Section'
This session is vital for all rhythm section players and stresses the importance of using 'upbeats' as they apply to each instrument; 'feeling 6' while playing in 4/4; the usefulness of playing small chords voicings; Barry's voicings for the Blues, 'rhythm changes' and more.
'Harmony'
Long awaited, this session gets right to the heart of Barry's unique harmonic system. Detailing 'sixth diminished' chord theory, chord movement and putting together effective voicings, this section is highlighted by Barry's performance of 'I Should Care', featuring great overhead camera shots. Piano and guitar transcriptions are included.

What Are NTSC and PAL?What are NTSC and PAL?
- NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a standard used in North America and Japan. It has the ability to display up to 525 lines of resolution on your television.
- PAL (Phase Alternating Line), a standard used almost everywhere else in the world, has the ability to display 625 lines of resolution on your television.
What DVD standard does my country use?
If you're in North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America, you use NTSC. Most other areas of the world use PAL. Half of Brazil uses NTSC while the other half uses PAL-M. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay use PAL-N. The rest of the world uses mainly PAL.
What Does This Mean?
What this means is that if you live in a country that uses NTSC, only this format will be compatible with your player. If you live in a country that uses PAL, most likely only this format will work for you. However, there are many players that will play both formats. The best bet is to check the manual for your DVD player before making a purchase.
What Is the DVD Region System?
DVDs themselves are encoded for a specific region or indicated as 'all region.' On the back cover of many DVD packages, you will a find a region number (0 thru 6) placed inside an image of the Earth. This refers to which region the DVD is encoded for.
The geographical regions are as follows:
- REGION 0: ALL AREAS OF THE WORLD
- REGION 1: USA AND CANADA
- REGION 2: JAPAN, EUROPE, SOUTH AFRICA, AND MIDDLE EAST
- REGION 3: SOUTH KOREAN, TAIWAN, HONG KONG, AND SOUTH EAST ASIA
- REGION 4: AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO, AND SOUTH AMERICA
- REGION 5: EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA, INDIA, AND AFRICA
- REGION 6: CHINA
The way this works is that DVDs encoded for regions other than Region 1 cannot be played on a region 1 DVD player. In addition, DVD players marketed for other regions cannot play region 1 DVDs. All region (region 0) DVDs may be played anywhere in the world.
The region system was designed to protect copyright and film distribution rights in the sense that movie studios can dictate who can watch what and when.
Please note that there are code free or Universal DVD players on the market that will play any disc from anywhere. Most Home DVD players are subject to region code restrictions, but most computer DVD players will play any DVD.
