💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This is the second lesson in my bebop scale guitar lesson series.
The bebop scale is about targeting chord tones on strong beats, which is a game-changing practice, whether we're interested in jazz or not.
In this video, I show you a series of drills to help you master improvising with the bebop scale.
By practicing these drills, we can break through a common challenge, which is sounding like a scale when we improvise.
We may know the “right notes” to play when improvising, but we wonder why doesn't it sound musical yet.
Step-by-step exercises like the ones in this video can help solve this problem.
I hope you enjoy the lesson!
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Thanks! :)

Cool that you address the normal emotional reactions like frustration and lack of instant gratification when learning something new, regardless of one's skill level. I've stuck with this and it's starting to paying off like a hockey stick graph...slow, tedious, annoying...then small victories start to occur intermittently...then steep progress finally. Don't give up before the prize. Thanks for your work 🙏😎✌
Totally agree. It’s like anything else, if getting better at something is a passion, it probably will take time. I call it “Doing push ups “. If one wants to build muscle, you have to exercise. I love practicing difficult stuff and because I’m older ( 63 ) it helps keep the brain processing data and just not sitting and watching. Every once in a while something pokes through and you’ve gotten a little better. Very satisfying.
I almost didn't watch this because "bebop scale" wasn't really my interest...
But this is "beyond bebop" - it's really a way to be aware of rhythm, harmony and an improvised melody all at the same time. Wow.
True, it does apply to more than bebop. Glad it's useful for you. Thanks for the comment :)
Love the approach. Love the attitude towards it. “If it takes u an hour to figure out what the hell we’re doing here, than good!” LOL. In other words, lf u want results, u hv to work at it.
Really great lesson. It's brilliant in its simplicity. Tyvm
Thank you! 😊
Excited to try to learn this treading water exercise. I can just feel how useful it would be to master it. And the technique of continuing with the pattern until you have thought about the next move and can nail it and keep the feel going, is a great idea. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks so much! I hope the exercise helps!
thanks jared, love watching things like this at work while doing monotonous tasks. it allows myself to think about it and understand what’s going on before i jump in when i get home. great lesson😎
Cool! I hope you enjoy the practice!
has level 3 been made yet?! loving these:)
Not Yet, I got sidetracked, haha! It's coming though. It's on my list. Stay tuned :) Thanks for asking
Great lesson. I've started doing this and it's very useful to build that muscle memory.
Glad it's helping! Thanks for the comment :)
Very good teacher. Thank you
Thank you! 😃
Hey Jared, thank you very much for this awesome lesson!
My pleasure. I'm glad you liked it :)
Jared, I'm interested in improvising and your tutorials are terrific! ty so much!
So glad to hear it! Happy practicing 😊
I love your playing!
Thanks! :)
Thanks!
Thanks so much! :)
NLP neural linguistic programing. genius. or maybe we call it nfp, neural finger programing. still genius. what a super video. thank you.
Great way of framing it
Haha, neural finger programming 😂
Glad you liked the vid!
Thank you for this wonderful work can we apply it to major and minor Bebop
Do you prefer to have the numbering opposed to the note lettering, A, B C....? Great lesson! This is certainly with intentional learning.
Yeah, I prefer to show scale degrees instead of note names. It helps us internalize the chord tones better, and you can translate the exercises anywhere on the fretboard. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks
Thanks so much! :)
@@soundguitar you welcome,
Jared, great lesson.
Was there any reason, on three notes for example , the pattern is not symmetrical? Say from 3 the pattern down is 3,2,3,4. Shouldn't the up pattern be 3,4,3,2 rather than 3,4,5,4. Maybe it's good to learn both!
That's all covered on the way down the scale form. It's all in there and one can certainly do them in any order they want. Good question thanks :)
Great lesson Jared. Thanks. What are you wearing on three fingers of your right hand?
Thanks! It's these picks: ruclips.net/video/8VIk--237AE/видео.htmlsi=KIvp9kyK09owOsfL
Hey, I would like to apply this concept of treading water to 7 note scales (i.e. Mixolydian). What would you do with the 5-6-7-1 sequence in the two note group? I thought 5-6, 7-6, 1-7 as the seventh is a chord tone and can also be used as a leading tone to the tonic (obviously here the 7 is a b7, so more like a blues/rock leading tone)
Great question, yes you can use this in the 7-note scales as well. The two-note group makes it easy to apply anywhere, so you can do: 5-4, 5-6, 7-6, 7-1, 1-7, 1-2, etc... Hope that makes sense. The bigger note groupings would note work as well unless adding a chromatic passing tone somewhere, but great idea using the 2-note group in a diatonic scale 👍. Thanks for asking.
So I might have become dyslexic without knowing it...are we using the four Bb7dom chord tones (2 octaves) to bracket around or the individual notes of the Bb mixolydian scale? I can't tell from the video. Thanks!
Play around the chord tones of Bb7, thanks for asking! :)
So I'm guessing this takes place over all the positions of mixolydian and bebop positions?
Yup! You can apply the patterns to other scale positions 👍
Jazz, rarely used for me.
