I recently bought Alan Kingstones book "The Barry Harris Harmonic Method for Guitar" which is proving to be very helpful (I'm working through the 2nd chapter on movement right now). My take on Alan's book is that it requires a knowledge of theory and a commitment to work
hard unraveling Alan's short comments. If anything, Alan could have provided more examples and commentary since it reads a bit like a transcription of his or Barry's notes.

I'm still not sure how this method will translate to other genres
other than jazz.

Hi Alan,
Thank you for your response. I'm now a bit embarrassed to have posted publicly my comments about your book (which is excellent by the way).
I hope that my comments will not discourage anyone considering buying
your book. I bought it and I'm very glad I did!

I do have one basic question that I thought I might share with
everyone since it is something I've run across elsewhere when googling
the Barry Harris method: How are the 7th diminished and 7b5 diminished scales and chords used? There is a LOT of great information about how
to think about and use the Maj/Min 6th dim. scales but the other two
are only harmonized and shown with inversions on the fingerboard
charts.
Thank you for the invitation to contact you via email also.
Larry

Larry: No need to apologize. I think your critique is valid as there
is a shortage of actual song application in the book. I suggest
movement on chord/scales where before we may have played a single
chord and ways to colour the chords with borrowed diminished or
related dominant notes. There are demonstrations using common chord progressions and our job is to plug them in. Like your private e-mail suggests, it's hard work. Now I should get of the couch, turn off the baseball game and do some of that hard work.
Best
Alan
