Bebop Scale Workout

Everything You Need to Learn and Engrain The Bebop Scales

Part 5 - Lesson 1

Taught by: Teague Bechtel

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master

This lesson is the first of two lessons in which we cover several more advanced exercises to help you develop some fluency with the bebop scales.

Introduction

We use this first lesson in part 5 to talk about different ways to practice patterns within the bebop scale and still be able to get yourself to a chord tone on the beat. As with all the previous exercises in this course, I am giving you the means to develop fluidity with these scales. I haven't intended these lessons as play-alongs that walk you through every development of every permutation in every key. They are intended to be a complete course of examples to help you develop a bebop language on your instrument. It is up to you to use each exercise to build your comfort level by pushing each example through different octaves, permutations, all 12 keys, and from each chord tone. The mental development that you will achieve from this will substantially elevate your ability and comfort level with jazz harmony. It should make finding patterns, scales, chord tones for every chord nearly second nature.
