Episode 1 in a series focusing on the jazz blues, bebop standard; Billies Bounce - by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
In this first part we learn the changes, starting off with a basic blues and learning how to add substitutions and extra chords to make it a fully fledged “jazz blues”!

Having these to hand whilst following along with the video will certainly make things much easier to absorb.

Thanks so much for this! Despite being an absolutely massive Bird fan, I'm also a lazy guitar playing bastard, and don't play through his stuff as much as I should. I forget how refreshing it can be to play his sax lines on the guitar. The way the notes fall on the fretboard forces me to think like a horn player, i.e. triads, extensions & passing tones, etc...and really makes me step away from the usual guitar-y stuff that I typically fall back on. Great lesson! Thank you!

Absolutely spot on mate!.. working on his lines breaks you out of all the guitaristic shapes we know so well and forces us to see the bigger picture. Always an eye opener! 👌🏻

Thank you Alex. Great playing and loads of wee take aways from the lesson. "What no Louis ?" Every great channel needs a comedy element, shame cats only misbehave when it suits them 😁 😸

Thanks for the comment buddy, really glad you enjoyed the lesson! Hehe yeah Louis being his elusive self for this one.. hopefully he’ll make an appearance or two in the next 😆

Thank you so much for this. I'm trying to transcribe George Benson's solo from his version but I was honestly just having a hard time keeping up with the form, which was sort of frustrating because, as a blues in F, it should be straightforward. The various stops and starts in thr head, however, were *really* throwing me off and i just couldnt find my footing. This helped so much

Finger gymnastics , great breakdown, if only I didn’t leave guitar out of my life for 15 years. Going like the energiser bunny now. All fingers hitting the right fret at the right time cleanly, pleasure to watch.
