In Part 5, we shift our focus from arpeggios to scale-based soloing, using the bebop dominant scale as a framework for outlining harmony with a smoother, more linear flow.

Hi everyone!

I talked about the relationship between the diminished chords and dominant chords, then I'll make a series videos of barry harris and diminished chord, please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions!
