    Great lesson, thank you for sharing. I also like to simplify this concept by using three basic arpeggios (Gm7, Bbmaj7 and Em7b5) and the C7 bebop scales as the "glue" that connects them. It works great over the II-V progression. You can practice this by creating an ongoing cycle by playing only eighth notes. Ascending the arpeggios starting on Gm7 and descending using the C7 bebop scale, that takes you right to the Bbmaj7 arpeggio. Then decend again with C7 bebop scale and make an enclosure to hit the Em7b5 arpeggio. Same thing to continue with the next Gm7 arpeggio one octave higher. In a II-V-I progression you can use part of the cycle (eighth notes) to improvise over the II-V and then come up with a resolution to the I chord. You can also combine the bebop scale and the three arpeggios in infinte ways, and break down parts of the cycle to create your own lines. Hope it helps.

      Not G-7! As I outline in this video, the G-(maj7) is the arpeggio played from the 5th. Why? Because the F# is a resolvable tension over the C7 which is #11. F is isn't a hip note to resolve to because it implies a C7(sus4). All this is clearly outlined in this lesson.

      It's definitely a "brainburner". Would you mind explaining the theory behind using the #11 as one of the natural extensions for the arpeggios, instead of the natural 11th of the mixolydian scale?

    If you are building a chord over the C7 notes I don’t understand where the F# come from to build the G minor (major 7) chord.

    Bit confused Joe- the line of the 5th has the sharp 11 in it-- the 7th line also has the sharp 5 - wouldn't that sugest these are all off the C lydian Dominant as opposed to the C mixolydian as the parent scale?

    • @JoeHubbardBass
      @JoeHubbardBass  3 роки тому +1

      Your "scale karma" is getting the better of you. Remember- you can't resolve to an 11 over Dom7 unless you want to outline a sus sound. The exercise- as it says - is using the Bebop scale as a "follow up" sequence to the ascending arpeggios that out line the R-3-5-b7-9-#11-13 of the Dom7 chord. This has nothing to do with any scale, but rather the chord in question as these are the notes you can resolve to over a Dom7th chord. The Bebop scale which represents a mixolydian mode with a chromatic approach from above the b7, is used as a descending line which always resolves to the R-3-5 or b7. This is what is known as the "Mixafewofthem" mode :-)

  • @thewoodshedders

    great info as usual...the "sin TAX" is playing these arpeggios and scales without harmonic context...thank you for the connecting ideas...this is actually Lydian dominant ascending bebop descending....no?

    • @JoeHubbardBass
      @JoeHubbardBass  6 років тому +1

      You could look at it like that- but you can also look at chords as their own entity where by you understand that the available chord tones are R, 3, 5, b7 and available tensions as b9, 9, #9, #11, b13 & 13. The natural tensions being 9, #11 & 13.

    Nice one Joe...small query, why are you adding F# on 3rd mode(Gm) and 4th mode(Bflat) as you consider B on 1st mode as a bebop note? Or can we use both B and F# as bebop? Thanks!

    • @JoeHubbardBass
      @JoeHubbardBass  6 років тому

      The F# functions as a #11 on a C7 chord. At 3:20, I explain all the natural extension of a dominant 7th chord as 9, #11 & 13, so when we create the ascending chords they come from the chord (R, 3, 5 & b7) and the tensions (9, #11 & 13). This creates some very cool ideas ascending up these chords and playing the Bebop scale back down in a descending fashion.

      They create a collection of chord tones and chord tensions that are available on a Dom 7th chord. E-7(b5) = 3,5,b7,9 Gmin(maj7)= 5, b7, 9,#11 Bbma7(#5)= b7,9,#11,13

      So its about interpreting chords from the higher tensions. It would be great to try this over other chord qualities.

    !) It's pushing me around ALL over the board having to reconfigure fingerings, but better knowing the board all over! 2) At 10:05, U speak of down a 4th(D to A) and down an M2(A to G), do you do this on ALL the chord tones???From C, that would b a Bnatural,(after the 3rd, E) unless U stick with the scale which would then b a Bflat to an Anatural, Yes???

    • @JoeHubbardBass
      @JoeHubbardBass  4 роки тому +1

      I've added that at the end of the line over the Bbmaj7#5 extension of the C7 chord. Remember the chord we're playing over here is C7. Take note of the line Bb, D, A, G which would equate to b7, 9, 13, 5 over the C7. If I'm interpreting your question correctly if you were to add that 4-note cell at the end of the first line starting from C, you would have to alter the intervals to fit over C7. For instance, the 4-note cell would be C, E, Bb, A. Does that make sense?

      That's because when I'm using the Bebop scale I'm descending. So, it goes C, Bb, B, A in every line. That's clearly outlined in all four examples.

    The #11 is a useful sound on dominant chords, but it is not a natural extension. That is just plain wrong.
