The bebop scales are derived from rhythms. Historically, bebop musicians started to add notes to "regular" diatonic scales.

The added notes permit better "alignement" of the notes with the 4/4 time signature.

  • thanks for this video. I see a lot of teachers on the internet talk about scales, and only scales, when In my opinion rhythm is as important as the notes we choose. Specially in jazz. at least for me!

  • @StromboliKicks "Time is of the essence". Thanks for watching!

  • I realy wanna know how it's called this kind jazz in 3/4 6/4 14/19 and all like this.

    If you have some suggestions please answer me ;d

  • @RedCurlyHead I'm not sure what you question is, but one term to coin those different time signatures is "odd time" or "odd time signatures". Was that you question?

  • @SimonLeferink Yes. In fact what is referred to as "Third Stream" is a mixture of through composed music and the liberty of small ensemble jazz (from the bebop era.) It`s worth reading about it from writers / musicians / scholars such as Gunther Schuller. Musically, Charles Mingus is often referred to as a third stream jazz composer.

  • @RedCurlyHead

    I think you are talking about a jazz style called the third stream.

    That style has a lot of odd time signatures.

  • @jazzguitarlessonsnet I got the name "free jazz" I guess that is the term i'd looking for but What i Really wanna know is some artist name who make this kind of music.I think 4/4 is really really booring so Can you tell me some 3/4 songs i Mean diffrent time signature songs something new or old doesn't matter I'm just looking for different kind of emotion.

    Thank you.

  • @jazzguitarlessonsnet cool thanks man

  • @toolfan5566 Basically yes! Remember, your diatonic scale only has 7 notes (usually), so you only have five choices to make this same scale "bebop". Experiment, listen, etc. Thanks for watching. (-:
