Anyone who knows piano well enough should know this guy has fairly good skills. He just didn't know history so well or how to teach jazz theory. Only ass hole worth-bullying, he does not. Please kindly gives him a break.
cant u turn up that keyboard man?..........the olny thing worse than this is little wayne playing guitar.............plus u dont even know when bebop was created.......
@DDJazz1 right????? the part that still gets me is that he says Charlie Parker and "the 60's" in the same sentence. if you know anything about jazz tradition, you know that makes no sense.
you actually gonna play changes in your left hand, or you gonna just blow over that CMaj7 bullshit all day? Come on man. And when you say "I'm gonna use the flat third", you play an E natural in your left hand. Really? Use it over an F dominant chord! Oh wait, I forgot you can't play changes for shit.
Ever heard of Paul Chambers? He's a bass player. What about Ray Brown? He's a bass player too. They both walk good bass lines. Please, listen to them.
why is this under "expert village???" should b called "hacker shack"
1st of all bebop was coined after the cats were playin it... and it comes more outta the swing era 30's early 40's and Parkers study of harmonic resolution of esp. Baroque music.... imho Bach was the originator of "Bebop"... u can easily see how Bach's lines were making the changes b4 modern chord progressions were even invented and labelled...
@premidlifecrisis It is widely believed that Parker and Powell were early practitioners of their style. Bach is not, per se, the originator of bebop simply because of the style with which he was engaged with. I won't deny that Parker and Powell and even some swing pianists used Bach as the basis of much of their technique. If we're talking about people who were used as the basis for bebop technique and theory, Art Tatum MUST be on this list.
there all passing notes it doesnt even matter flat the five the 3 the 7 the 9 the eleven or whatever you want as long as you land on scale notes at the right time during the measure
This is not the bebop scale! And it was not invented in the "60s". Check your facts and read some sources like Mark Levine's books. Note also that there is a bebop major and a bebop minor. The only thing you got right was that there are 8 notes in the scale, which allows you to play the whole scale in 16th notes to a bar and not repeat a note.
@username672 The bebop scale can be played either up or down. The point is simply that it is a seven-note scale with an extra passing tone to make it eight notes.
@jjmc321 Most have agree that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, b7, 7 is the bebop scale. I've never heard anyone try and state different. Also, at a rate of constant 16th notes, you would begin repeating notes of the scale by the 3rd beat of the measure. Try 8th notes next time.
@kabustard The version of bebop scale you mention (combining major and mixolydian) is perfectly valid for Dominant-functioned contexts, like playing over a G7 in C (common). The version of the bebop scale that is commonly used for major Tonic chords is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, #5, 6, 7. The problem with this video is that the "Expert" is playing the dominant bebop scale over a tonic chord, and getting a unstylistic clash: flat 7 with natural 7.
PLUS, he is playing basically all blues licks with flat 3 and flat 5 added in, (over top of a major 7th!!) which defeats the whole purpose of calling it a bebop scale. A blues scale is not a bebop scale, but he is trying to equate the two. This is very misleading.
You're right that the scale in 8th notes works great. 16ths work too, just as you mention, you will finish the scale in two beats instead of four; but the principle of arrival to strong beat is the same.
no he mentioned that it is just a C major scale with an additional altered scale degree... like flat seven and normal seven or flat third and normal third... it is borrowing from the relitive minor scale and basically is being used as a passing note
Ugh! This is excruciating, and I normally don't comment on people's videos unless I have something positive to say...sorry.

the bebop scale's usually played in a descending progression right?
username672 2 years ago
@username672 Yes, but it works just fine the other way, because chord tones still land on the downbeats.
