Checking out bebop jazz guitar licks is a huge part of learning a style of music like Bebop. This also means out how to incorporate what makes them Bebop Guitar them into your playing. This would be true both for phrasing and specific arpeggios, chromatic enclosures that are being used in Bebop guitar.
In this video I will go over 3 good examples of Bebop Jazz Licks, and then I will analyze them and talk about how they are constructed and what the building blocks of this type of jazz lick is.

Would you please take a vacation. I never see my wife anymore. I spend hours watching, working on guitar and jumping to your other videos. Each one seems to get better and I think "this is perfect for me". (I feel like my brother who would always say after a Grateful Dead concert, tonight's concert was the best. Just substitute "this video" for "tonight's concert") Just joking about the "take a vacation". Keep them coming!

@jaykay1053 3 года назад

I really like your idea of getting into my fingers one part of a lick by transposing it in an ascending and descending sequence. This seems a lot more manageable for getting used to playing fragments of bebop licks whenever they might come to mind and over whichever chord/sound/flavour presents itself. Sooo sensible! Thanks for sharing this. I’m Going to try it on sax with my omnibook. Great ideas that are transferable to sax, any day of the week. All the best.

@cjgreen4331 3 года назад

I also play guitar and sax, but I'm falling behind on sax a lot, so I'm starting from a clean slate and going back to the blues, transcribing Billie's Bounce. I feel like beboo guitar is easier than sax cause you can see the scales unlike on sax, but doing arpeggio practices on sax and forcing myself to memorize the 1,3,5,b7 have helped me on guitar too. While I don't know all notes by heart, I know arpeggios, and by, for example connecting the 3rd of a iii7 to the 7th of the IV7 of the same chord because I can actually name the notes, I can create long bebop lines on guitar

Brilliant lesson, Jens, thank you so much! I think you became so fluent doing these lessons that the info-per-video-minute rate is increasing drastically (it's even funny to compare this video to one from 3 years ago, hahaha). This last video was almost too fast to grasp everyhting in a single view. Nothing bad with it, but I like it when you don't seem to be such in a hurry :) Thanks again!

@JensLarsen 7 лет назад

Thank you! Actually it looks like RU-vid favours the faster moving lessons though 😃

Thank you! No, I don't really think about bebop scales. For me they are a waste of time. I prefer learning how to add chromatic leading notes when I want those where I want those. That is (for me) a much stronger approach :)

Hola Jens! saludos desde Argentina! me gustan mucho tus videos. Tengo una duda, no entendí el uso de la triada aumentada, me lo podrias explicar nuevamente?

@JensLarsen 6 лет назад

Thanks Pablo! The augmented triad is in many ways just a D7(b13), but the bebop guys used it a lot and often resolved it to the 9 of the next chord.

@flawl3sslogic 7 лет назад

Hi Jens, could you suggest a couple of good standards to try these ideas out on? I figure stuff with lots of V - I cadences is generally good but my Jazz musicology isn't good enough to know what tunes relate to what era or style off the cuff. Thanks Alex

@JensLarsen 7 лет назад

If you want to try the exact lines out you could have a look at Rhythm Changeso or Scrapple from the apple which both have B parts consisting of Dom7th chords. Actually the Girl From Ipanema also has a lot of 2 bar dominant chords. Otherwise, Sweet Georgia Brown or Take the A train.

@DailyDoseTranscriptions 7 лет назад

Hey Jens, En lille request til en video: Noget af det jeg oftest finder svært i jazz er at fortsætte en melodi på I akkorden. Både II og V akkorderne eksempelvis bliver altid rig på idéer - fordi de gerne vil et sted hen, men jeg føler det er svært at "holde den kørende" på I akkorder da vi så er "hjemme igen" (særligt når de er mere end 1 takt). Måske det er noget du kunne have lyst til at fortælle lidt om en gang? :-) Mvh. Mads

@JensLarsen 7 лет назад

Hej Mads! Det er da en god ide! Jeg havde sådan set det lidt i tankerne så det var jeg da prøve at gøre noget ved!

@willruales9191 5 лет назад

can anyone tell me what is the relationship between the Em7 arpeggio and the D7 in second example?

@JensLarsen 5 лет назад

You can see it as an arpeggio that works well with Am7, the II chord of D7, but it works better if it is connected to the C as it is in this example. Does that help? 🙂

@koiwiederfisch6368 7 лет назад

nice

@JensLarsen 7 лет назад

Thanks!

@mikejamieson6802 4 года назад

Instead of arpeggios or intervals what scales are you thinking?

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

The ones that go with the chords I in this context.

@Account-ru8wt 6 лет назад

I love your videos and I greatly appreciate them! Could you please tell me what you played at 8:24

@JensLarsen 6 лет назад

It's a bit long to explain in a comment. The first part is a D7 arpeggio with a leading note and then it skips up to the 9th (E) and moves down in half steps to D

@Account-ru8wt 6 лет назад

Jens Larsen thank you so much you got right back to me! Your videos have been so helpful and insightful to me for good practicing routines and exercises and all that good stuff, although I'm a pianist :) I'll try that out and try to match it to that sweet line of yours!

@545parsa 7 лет назад

Hey Jens great lesson, just have a question. Would it be out of the style of bebop if one were to use spread arpeggios? Also, loved the Herbie Hancock joke legitimately made me laugh.

@JensLarsen 7 лет назад

Thanks Parsa! 😀 I don't know of any bebop solos where they used spread or open voiced triads, so in that respect it would be out of place, just like quartal harmony. But don't forget that we don't live in the 1940's so we don't have to play strict bebop! 😁

You need to be able to play fast. You need to be able to think ahead and you need to practice in a medium tempo making sure that the lines you are improvising can also be played at a higher tempo.

@romdanish 5 лет назад

Great video again. I'm wondering about the diatonic logic behind the scale exercise at 4:39. My guess is that each arpeggio is chosen because it can be sweeped. Maybe you can confirm...

@JensLarsen 5 лет назад

Not so much that it can be sweeped. More that arpeggios in 3rds distance fit the chord and then using the way the notes are placed on a guitar. I am choosing a specific placement for each arpeggio so that it can be played with a sweep, but not choosing that arpeggio. Does that make sense?

@eternalrainbow-cj3iu 6 лет назад

Okay Jens again Thank you, already i subsribed to your channel, I will donate some money when I've got the opportunity(some friend uses internet banking and than when he comes over I will donate because I learn a lot from you, Here is my suggestion: Please play a solo for instance three choprusses over a standard and let than to us pupils see how you use your theory to your practise, so it takes some time but we than learn a lot more because jsut II V I with all respect is as you know not enough to become an all round jazz guitarist, if you improvise and than analyse your own solo I wpould be amazed, and learn it seek it out etc. and see deeper in to the things you try to teach me!!! You played with Hans Voogt the teacher of My Teacher henk van benthem!!! he studied with Wim Overgaauw the TEAXHER of Eef Albers, what I told you about 9 tone scale he uses at the bIItritone substitution adapted to II V I but at the Tritone so Ebm7 Ab7 Dbmaj7 seven resloving nicely to Cmaj the scale also 9 tones so enneatonic: Db Eb E F Gb Ab A Bb C Db so a bit different than your last scale of the Cmaj 7 scales lesson C-D-EbE-F# G Ab Bb B C forgive me if I offended you in any way is not my intension my wish is if we realy communicatde! So have a Nice DAY

@JensLarsen 6 лет назад

I have lot's of lessons on complete standards here: jenslarsen.nl/shop/ So you can use that instead of donating. It's ok, you don't offend me, but you keep going on about theory that you obviously have no understanding of, and that is tiring. If you want to get better then focus on playing, keep it simple and get you basics down. Messiaen modes are not going anywhere and have been around for 70 years already anyway.
