How to Learn Licks using the Bebop Scale! (Bebop Series Part 3)

Hey! This is the 3rd part of the Bebop scale series that I've been doing over the last few months. This video focuses on using the scale to internalize licks/language. I recently started a subscription service on my website called "Shed with Cecil," where you have access to weekly lesson videos (w/assignments), PDFs, and an interactive forum where you can get feedback from me and talk with other members!

Tea For Two - Ari and Cecil Alexander

Переглядів 1,6 тис.Місяць тому

"Tea For Two" by Vincent Youmans. This is such a fun tune with incredible versions by some of our favorite artists such as Anita O'Day, Art Tatum, Nicholas Payton and Ella Fitzgerald. What is your favorite version of this standard? Admittedly, this interpretation one took us a little longer to get together because we had slightly different expectations for the tempo of the tune due to having li...

Переглядів 21 тис.5 місяців тому

The videos are already getting longer! jk here's a quick intro to the major bebop scale. I think this scale is really important for learning to connect and extend phrases, but the scale itself can also give you some hip ideas. All the lines in this video will work over Cmaj7/Cmaj6, but in future videos I'll talk about more applications. I'll be doing a couple of these videos on bebop scales in ...

Here are 3 ways you can play outside- the video focuses on Min7 chords but you could apply to any chord type!

I'll be doing at least a couple more of these- focusing on "outside" stuff specif...

This is deceptively difficult tune! Especially with all the slight variations in the harmony, but I love harmonically active tunes that are still bluesy. Fee Fi Fo Fum by Wayne shorter is another that would fit in the same category. I can't think of any guitar versions of this one, if you know any feel free to leave them in the comments! Been having fun playing around with guitar tones in Logic...

This is a little more raw than a lot of stuff I usually put on UA-cam. There's a lot of ideas in this that I was trying to work out, mostly some outside harmonic stuff that doesn't come so naturally to my ears. There are a couple of moments where I repeat an idea a couple times just to see what I can make of it in the moment (going to do a video on this soon). There are some scary intervals lik...
