Bebop Jazz ii V I Lick of the Week #1

Tabs (and explanations!) for all of my licks can be found at http://www.needsomebop.info !

Because this is the first video I did, the quality is pretty horrible. Also, the format of the video itself is lame. All this has been upgraded since then though, so check out my newer videos!

Lick of the Week #1:

This the first video in a series of videos to come. Here I play a ii V I lick in the key of G Major.

is that a fender jazz master?

I was gonna say, is it just me, or are the tabs on your website backwards? Like the high notes are usually on the top and low ones on the bottom in tab. At least that's how the books I have do it.

@123jesse123 LOL I put'em on upside down! Gotta' love those moments of dyslexia.

And no, that's not actually a Fender Jazzmaster, it's a Ventura Fretking. They're made in England, and very hard to find in the U.S. I thought the same thing when I first saw it, but in my opinion this one outweighs a jazzmaster on any day - it plays better, doesn't have the floating tremolo so intonation stays right, and the bite it gets with distortion is amazing.

I'll get right on changin' those tabs.
