I am a drummer for 10 years, and just recently pick up a guitar because I always want to express my other feeling not only by beat/rhythm, if you know what I am saying. Seeing jacob explained harmony, the way it feels, or how it is a world or a journey, is fascinating. I guess this is a level I want to understand in my process learning the guitar. Wish me luck!

The theory that Herbie and Jacob are referring is the Barry Harris 6th Diminished. This is THE Diminished Chord (4 -brothers and sisters- A C Eb Gb) that overlaid with the Db6 chord make up the Db6 Major Diminished scale. Put this over an Ab bass note (or Ab Major chord, add 2, etc) and it is V->I Perfect cadence on the bottom and the diminished resolution on top.

When i first watched this video, i was vibing with the whole thing up until herbie and jacob started playing. I thought to myself, -That's not what amazing grace sounds like at all! It's too far out! -
Now a few years later, i realize it wasn't two musicians improvising over a piece; it was two scientists conducting an experiment with fruitful results.

If you look at my icon picture i have an extremely similar guitar to the one the college student does. The difference is mine is a Japanese copy (msrp $1000-1200) and his looks like the real deal vintage 1960s Gibson ES-330 which costs many thousands of dollars more.

That moment of mutual speechlessness at the end is just a moment where they both realize that thousands of words were said yet none could be used to describe what had just happened. It is what in The Alchemist is described as -the language of the universe-

I think Herbie doesn't really enjoying this, Jacob? To much flexing. amazing Grace song in the end was so awfully awkward. terrible reinterpretation, so much flexing and he forgets the essential of the song. I prefer Herbie over Jacob for sure

He-s absolutely right. Every profession is spoken in its own language. And how fluent you are in that language, determines your knowledge and expertise of the profession. It could be medicine, chemistry, music- etc.

Did you notice.
There is a point where language fails. and they just have to do the -and you know. the thing. - kind of discussion
Music is just like that.
Much like love. You know it or you don't

Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it

I came back just to check out and see how much I can understand now vs a couple of years ago, and see how much of my study has been worth.
See you all at the end of the next academic semester!
