The Labyrinth of Limitations

Harmony, the Guitar Fretboard, Musical Geometry, and the Teachings of Barry Harris

The flagship Labyrinth of Limitations app is instantly accessible while also providing a method of immersive musical exploration that could be studied for many years. At its center is an algorithm that musically moves between four-note chords, making it beautiful to listen to while also being an adept teacher to anyone who wishes to follow its example by using the interactive guitar fretboard, piano display, or sheet music notation. Users can enter harmonic progressions that they are studying, even whole jazz standards, and follow the app as it improvises over the tune. There are a variety of powerful features that make this the perfect way to engage with the ideas of the Labyrinth of Limitations youtube series, where we explore the teachings of Barry Harris (with the help of the musical geometries shared by Dmitri Tymoczko) as they apply to the enigmatic labyrinth of the guitar fretboard. You can watch an overview of its main features here.
