This is a great lesson on bebop and it doesn't matter that I'm not a guitarist but a saxophonist I will definitely buy the Bebop Workbook. Thanks, Cecil.

This is awesome. I feel like I just took a college class on playing Bebop. I love how you explain exactly what is going on in your lines, and more importantly, how to apply these concepts. I love the 57 Double Time Lines

bro.. i play bass and guitar, i know dorian, blues, and pentatonic scale. But Bepop is next level scale that i feel i really need to learn, especially since i have fallen in love with jazz, funk and disco. If i can learn the scale from this video ( ima watch it more than once and try to watch it with a guitar in my hands when its not late at night ) and if i am able to use this... Dude ima tag you in a video if i manage to do something cool with this :)

This is a phenomenal resource as are all of Cecil’s packages. I would love to see a volume 2 that goes further and focuses more on the application / analysis of these three bebop scales within the context of a standard. Thanks so much for putting these invaluable info out there!!!

Great stuff here! at 2:27 the tab is incorrect : Descending from the root, there is a F# tabbed in 3 instead of 4 Descending from the fifth, it's supposed to be F# right ? Descending from the flat7, it's supposed to be F# right ?

As always, great lesson. I have just bought the pdf, it will be very useful to better understand the lines in Cecil's previous bebop books (standards etudes and double time lines, which are fantastic). I was familiar with the major and dominant bebop scales, but not the phrygian dominant so I have a lot of work to do ! I'm a bit surprised by the absence of a bebop scale derived from the melodic minor modes. In the double time lines book, Cecil seems to use the melodic minor scale on m7b5 and altered chords quite frequently. Does he see the altered scale in a different way ? Maybe as the phrygian bebop scale with non scale tones ? Thanks for this lesson !

@effsixteenblock50 Жыл бұрын

You can take the information that he gave on the D altered dominant bebop scale and just "see" it as Eb melodic minor bebop -same thing.

@bumbleshred Жыл бұрын

@@effsixteenblock50 Thanks for the answer. What Cecil calls here the altered bebop scale is not the usual altered scale with an added chromatic. It's the phrygian dominant, from the harmonic minor scale, with a perfect fifth and no #9. Great sound, but not what is usually called altered. As I have other pdf from Cecil where he uses it, I find surprising he does not speak about it here and I wonder why. But that's not a big deal ! And again, thanks for your answer ! 🙂

@@bumbleshred Wow - I checked and you're right. How weird. I have seen though, for melodic minor, just add in the b7 to Eb melodic minor and you've got a D altered dominant bebop ( D super-locrian bebop?). Since melodic minor is a different beast (all notes have equal "gravity"), I don't think you need to change up where you add the chromatic notes to make it an 8 note scale for all the different modes. Thanks for pointing that out. Keep in mind too, that if you transcribe a lot of bebop lines, you'll see the chromatic notes in different places. Back in the day, they didn't have an exact system.
