Beginner Jazz Guitar Lick #2 Bebop Scale

[WolfOfMartialArts]

This is a nice video, but it could use some extra information, such as actual notation or tablature, or some background information, most of which can be found through searching google or the other responses. All-around, this is a good video, though, and does not deserve its negative comments and other nasties...and by "other nasties," I am referring, of course, to all of the negative thumbs, as well. Thumbs up for the video from me.

well there are three prime examples of the musically unaware...

great video, this forces people to use their ears and not rely on a tab for everything, not to mention the beautiful tension and release from the beginning to the end of the lick. the sequencing was a nice touch too.really enjoyed the video, very useful!!

[cast390]

Why would anyone want to learn this stupid NON musical nonsense.Hard to remember,not singable in anyway and sounds like a moose takin a shit!

[Splurgendii]

what what a garbage video.... we can ear and see what your playing but how can we understand it??? what is the bebop scale exaclty, how does it work, where does it come from???

[ibanezman14]

u need to explain it

[JSGuitar80]

There are three main bebop scales. One is based off of the Ionian mode (Nat. Maj.), the other is the "Dom. Bebop" based off of the Mixolydian Mode (i.e. mode of dominant note) and the other is based off of the harmonic minor scale.

Each involve 1 chromatic passting tone between particular notes. The one shown here is the Bebop Major which is just a major scale with a passing chromatic tone between the fifth and sixth notes.

[Mr0Smith0Guitarist]

I heard there was also a bebop scale based around the Dorian mode, the chromatic note being the added major third. This would just be enharmonic to the mixolydian bebop scale, however they would be used in different contexts (e.g. D dorian with the F# rather than G Mixolydian with the major 7th).

use your ears and if thats not good enough use your eyes as well.
