50 Jazz Guitar Licks - #4 Charlie Parker ii-V-I

The TAB for this lesson is at http://www.thejazzguitarsite.com/charlie-parker-ii-v-i-lick. Here is lick #4 from "50 Must Know Jazz Guitar Licks." This is an excerpt from the melody of Charlie Parker's standard Donna Lee. This lick can be played over a C major ii-V-I. Transposing it should not be hard because your fingers stay in the same position. Comment if you have any questions about jazz guitar!

Hey bro what model eastman is that?? Do you like it? Im thinking about buying one.

[licksforalltheplayas]

@Rickyyy001 it's the 810 model. It has an amazing acoustic sound when not plugged in, but when playing with drums and bass, it will feedback really really badly. If you normally play with a band, I wouldn't buy a guitar like this with a floating pickup

[Rickyyy001]

@Rickyyy001 Does the floating pickup increase the feedback?

[licksforalltheplayas]

@Rickyyy001 There is more feedback because guitars with a floating pickup have thinner cut bodies and resonate more, creating feedback. If you go to the eastman website, they sell basically the same guitar but with built in pickups which will not feedback as much. You should look into those if you are concerned about feedback.

this lick is within Donna Lee (bars 15-16) :) that melody incorporates most of the bebop frasing concepts ^^

[licksforalltheplayas]

@simobubba correct!

The "Charlie Parker Omnibook" has note for note transcriptions of TONS of his solos. It is in standard notation which is a problem for a lot of people, but if you can read it, it's definitely worth picking up if you are into learning/playing bebop style licks and solos.

I have an Eastman Pisano. Much less prone to feedback, Ricky. The sound is very similar to the 810 acoustically.
