Bebop was invented by the great jazz heroes Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and probably many more.
The way jazz was played after this changed very much with this “new” sound.
One of the characteristics in the bebop sound is the chromatic approach.
A small part of the chromaticism is placed in the so-called bebop scale.
The Bebop scale is coming out of the Bebop tradition. It has a very characteristic sound which also defines one of the many jazz sounds.
In this video I will go through the way to play the dominant bebop scale and give you ways how to use the bebop scale in your own soloing.
I have made exercises which will enable you to directly apply this in your own practice and later you will be able to directly use the bebop scale in your improvisation.
I will at the end of the video give you two ready to use II-V-I licks using the Bebop scale on the dominant chord.
Great exercises and examples - coming up right now!
