Begining with a basic chord-scale theory lesson, this course works through the basics of what the major, minor, and dominant bebop scales are, how they fit each chord harmonically, and the best way to play them on the guitar neck. From there we work together through some basic exercises to develop some fluidity with the scales. Once you have that under your fingers we add some starting and ending points for the scales, some chromatic embellishments, and start working towards developing some elongated lines over static dominant chords. The next step is to combine the dominant bebop scales with other scales to form II-V-I relationships. Finally we get into some more advanced exercises to build up your comfort with the bebop vocabulary, and finish by analyzing and playing 10 transcribed bebop licks from jazz greats, Freddie Hubbard, Peter Bernstein, Pat Martino, Michael Brecker, and Hank Mobley.
