The 6th diminished scale continues to baffle me. I keep trying but I’m yet to walk away feeling like I got close. Barry Harris and all his fans, who are many Youtube piano jazz channels, gush over what wisdom lies therein. They mean to say mastering this scale positions you to gracefully resolve not so resolvable instances, not a bad thing to know. One might feel the same way about opinions and how we often aren’t actually listening to each other as much as trying to ram opinions down the throats of others. In a parallel universe I’m practising the 6th diminished scale while trying to suspend my opinions while listening to the ideas of others. It’s a similar energy or position. Almost never walk away feeling I did it.
