Finally someone who talks in concert pitch!!
LMAO YES
I think that extra chromatic note also helps playing in major tonalities sound less bright and a little more pretty.
Jeff, thanks for demystifying bbop scales, especially emphasizing the down beats to sync w the chord tones by adding the 8th note.

this video is genius...I honestly knew none of this and was very wary and afraid of bebop scales thinking it'd take me forever to learn them! I have never had a teacher for jazz (I play alto saxophon as well), and so your videos are really helping me to grow in my improvising/understanding of jazz!!
+Mimi M So happy to hear that, Mimi. Keep up the great wokr!
One of the best explanations of Bebop Scales on the Sax anyone has put on youtube--simple, to-the-point explanation. Very nice, keep up the great work!
When you started talking about getting back on the root again, I immediately heard in my head:
On the root again
Just can't wait to get on the root again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the root again
Easy:
Ionian maj7 add a b6,
Dorian mi7 add a Maj7th,
Mixolydian 7th add a Maj7th,
hahahhha....ok
Thx
yes. nice.
Yeah, but considering the order of the video, you have last two backwards
You make my favorite music education videos on the whole of youtube! I wish I found a teacher like you back when I started playing. Would have probably saved a few years of practicing bad technique and getting all confused about simple stuff!
I think it would have been worth to mention that the most common (I believe) bebop dorian scale is actually with an extra major third and not with an extra major seventh. It might also be easier to remember an play it that way, as in a ii-V context, that extra note from the corresponding bebop scales is actually the same. E.g. ii-V to CMaj7: the major third of the D-7 (ii) is #F and the major seventh of the G7 (V) is also #F.
Else, congratulations for the nice videos: keep it up!
I was scouring the comments before mentioning that myself, I was going to ask about it. His approach still works to land on chord tones, and I was wondering if it really made much of a difference in practice. For instance, that puts the 6th of the minor chord on the downbeat. Not a bad little note against the minor tonality, but not one of the base chord tones.
Your way is how I've seen in from Jaimie Aebersold, who gives credit to Dave Baker, whose books indeed align the same way. Also, that is how they are shown in Mark Levine's "Jazz Piano" and "Jazz Theory" books.
I find myself writing with bebop scales pretty often, although I'm not much of a jazz guy. I really like it because it sounds different yet similar to other scales like you explained in this video.
Thank you so much Jeff, your videos are insanely helpful. Jazz is starting to make sense to me thanks to you. Keep up the great work!
I would've never known about how the chord tones fall on the down beat using the bebop scale without this video. Wow, thanks man!! These videos are great! I appreciate it
+Xavier Jordan Thanks, Xavier. Much appreciated!
Top stuff Jeff! Killin it with these daily uploads :)) Very helpful, thanks
+Ned Olive Thanks, Ned! Glad it's helping.
The most concise and clearest explanation of the Bebop scales I have found on the Interweb. Thanks Jeff.
5:11 On the root again
I just can't wait to get on the root again
best UA-cam channel ever. Jeff, you're a fantastic teacher. Everything explained clearly and logically. I've learned a lot since subscribing. Thanks and keep it up!!
did u find out what r bbop scalz
haha
Jeff Schneider stikll trying to fish some info from your videos um portuguese having a bit trouble p.s:the Growl tip helped alot
ya like jaz?
Man you remind me SO MUCH of Rick Moranis!! Thanks a lot for your videos, very helpful thanks!
I read this as Rick and Morty
I found myself playing that Maj7 scale on electric guitar just a few days ago. I was playing loud gritty rock over trancey keys. Actually I guess it wasn't quite that scale cuz I was in lydian but I kept throwing that flat 6 in like a sort of blue note, and somehow it just really felt right. Now I guess try the same but with a flat 7...
Anyway, aside from whatever I do with it, TBH I'm just really stoked to see where musicians continue to go with the blending of genres
Great video Jeff! Been subbed for a couple years now. My favorite video is the one where you talk about secondary dominants. Bro those changes are killin! So glad I get to benefit from your hard work! Keep it up man. And thank you!
omg i actually understood this! sorry but i'm watching a lot of jazz theory i'm not following lately. maybe it's more where i'm at theory-wise, but i really like your information delivery
"Honey, I shrunk the bebop scale!"
damn! i knew he was triggering a recognition...
Why don't you consider putting some kind of overlay with the notes, it would make it much easier to follow what you are saying
+Marko M I try to do that with some of the videos. Just didn't have time for this one. My guide will help here: bit.ly/1X6oROK

Love your daily vids!
+Jazz7326 Thanks for watching them!
Been using a lot of these in my playing lately. Just some variations
+xas Glad to hear it!
Best explanation on bebop scales I ever heard. Thanks
Thanks a
lot Jeff
Really helped with improving my improvisations
thank you mister for this genius exciting video
That's great. I didn't know that. Really well explained
Loved this video, man. Very well said, and easy for me to follow and understand. Can't wait to practice and get these tools under my belt! 🎶
Glad it makes sense! Get to the shed!
very clearly explained thank you Jeff
your minor bebop scale is different from the Abersold method. In minor (Dorian), the extra note is between the -3rd and the perfect 4th(add the major third) In other words, it is the same as the Dominant bebop scale but you start on a different note. C7 bebop is the same as G- bebop
did you actually mean the sentences you scratched out?
the best and simplest explanation. Why do others over complicate?
Glad this was helfpul!
Premium lesson; thanks! Great work, most appreciated.
Thanks, Warren!
SUMMARY:
Maj7= add #5
Dominant7= add b7
Minor7= same as dominant7 but flatten 3rd
short answer: easy way to have a ton of notes to play.
another great video! so basically I could start the bebop scale from the 3rd, 5th and dominant 7? and also it would be cool if you talked about bebop apreggios in the future! again loved the video bro!
+Tyler Morgan Thanks, Tyler! Yup, you can start the scales from any chord tone.
That’s insane, this was so insightful
The "concept" is to have an 8 note scale so you can "hit" on the notes on the down beat. My advice? Learn the "Blues Scale" which in C would be C Eb F Gb G Bb C which is a 6 note pattern and make that your FIRST thing. We still have this 6 note scale which conflicts with 4/4 time and thus, it's worth it to grab TWO MORE NOTES! My suggestion? (and something this post inspired me to do) - Add the 2nd and the major seventh (of course you can experiment with others) and have AN EIGHT NOTE PATTERN that repeats per octave instead of a 6 note BLUES scale. Unlike the presenter in this case, I recommend starting from the "blues scale" and learning what "flavor(s)" you enjoy for your CHOICE OF 2 added notes. So, in summary, after learning your major scales, learn the "blues" scale and "pick two notes" to keep you in 8. I'm going to work on it for myself for my own self improvement. You can choose any extra notes, but the idea of actually adding them and practicing your scales alternatively with "8" makes things interesting. I remember I used to hear a NON-STOP series of 16th notes at bright tempos and wonder how these be-bop cats pulled off these "Charlie Parker" like solos. Well, now you/we know. I hope you still appreciate them as they are the foundation of Be-Bop which was just "Rag Time" interpreted and adapted to "swing". Keep it Spicy! facebook.com/peeweediamond
Yeah, that's a great idea, there's never a wrong time for the blues, fits with the video and the bebop scale as well
Learn the blues scale is excellent advice for all jazz or rock players, that can be your first thing
In C that would be C Eb F Gb G Bb C which is a 6 note pattern
& grab two more notes, switching up to the bebop scale, switching back to the blues scale, yeah
The blues scale in C has six notes, so adding Ab and Db gives us a bebop scale --- its Ab mixolydian, or Eb dorian
The six-note C blues scale C D Eb F Gb G Bb C ---> the eight note Ab mixolydian which is Ab Bb C Db Eb F Gb G Ab
which is also the same eight notes as Eb dorian .. .. .. Eb F Gb G Ab Bb C Db Eb
Great video, thanks!
Did the projectors of bebop start with 'bebop scales' then proceeded to formulate the music around those scales, or was it the other way? Thanks for the lesson.
That was terrific thanks, starting to make more sense now.
But the 7th is a chord tone and it’s on an up beat, so how can you say chord tones are on down beats?
Excellent.
Thanks for your help buddy. You the best
Great video
Jeff are these the only 3 bebop scales and if not, how many are there total? Thanks. Great video! Very easy to understand!
Thanks Jeff.
Nice lesson! Nice scale!
Cool! And I who thought Woody Allen plays the clarinet?
Well doesn't the down beat sync up thingy only help if you play the full scale on the downbeats? If you arpeggiate it or change the rhythm that goes out the windows doesn't it?
Thanks for the lesson.
For the Cmaj bebop scale if A (6th) is a chord tone(downbeat) and the B (maj7) is not(upbeat), does this imply that the underlying 'I' chord must be C6 or can it still be maj7. Im trying to understand how that would feel and be used with Cmaj7. Would you run your lines so that the 6th does not correspond to a down beat? For example, heres 4 eighth note line 7th(down), flat6, 5(down), 2
Yeah, it seems like bebop scales are building blocks for all kinds of jazz. Not only the scales in their entirety but bits and pieces of them which are a great way to add chromatics to your playing. Thank you, Jeff. This is a most concise and informative video on the subject.
Around 4:55 you say the note A lands on the second beat. I think you meant to say Bb. Just to clarify.
Why would anyone play a scale during a solo? While chord tones on strong beats have a grounding effect, they have very little to do with the upper harmony notes that define the bebop sound. On a dominant chord I prefer the half tone whole tone scale,
Perfect
Good work !Very clear and useful information.
awesome explains, Tks!!!
+yann terrer Thanks for the comment!
Thank you!
Awesome video! Can you make a video about using bebop scales in improv?
+Sharp Bullet Thanks! This video is about bebop scales in improv!
how do you get ur tone so bright and saxy? mine is always so stuffy and fuzzy
Well done... good info.
this is great keep going
so good
Hey jeff, great video, I still have a doubt though, if I'm improvising over a tune, should the bebop scale be played over each chord of the progression, i mean, the bebop scale of each chord, or should it be applied only to the chord the tune is? Thank you man, really appreciate the work you are doing.
I'm not as much of an expert as this guy, but you want to play the respective bebop scale for each chord in the progression. So if the progression has a C major chord, then you play the C Major bebop scale. If it then has a Dminor7 chord then you play the D Minor bebop scale. One thing that you want to keep in mind though, is that some of the chords may relate to each other modally, or have flat 9s or other alterations, that may take precedent in terms of what you emphasize harmonically. So I definitely have questions about how those scenarios play out as well.
Thank you Christian! Makes things more clear now.
perhaps people sound preposterous and mystifying while explaining jazz principles just because they do all of a tour through classical terminology, before firstly giving the point of the principle; the point here, however (as you actually show), is quite simple: you introduce an extra note so that this (might) help with the way you want to accomodate the scales on given rhythmic patters, and that's all!
Very useful
+seng ip Thanks!
C minor bebop does not have a major 7 dominant bebop has flat 7 and major 7 and c major has a flat 6
Hey Jeff how did you get that of haircut?
Scissors, clippers, and a pair of skinny jeans
Yo u da best man
I don't believe that down beat theory. As long as the next note is under a 2nd apart, and is a chord tone, the down beat note will sound like a Passing tone, and the up beat will sound like a suspended chord tone.
are you saying the minor bebop scale has has a maj 7th and a major 3rd?
George DeFilippo i
no he said the only difference between the major bebop scale and the minor bebop scale is that the minor scale has a minor third, whereas the major obviously has a major third. In both respective scales you are simply adding a Maj 7 as the "8th note".
George DeFilippo you don't 'land' on those notes, they are passing tones, think of them as a kind of embelishment or something
why do you seem to be a step higher?
He's not. Perfect pitch verified
I believe the emphasis should be on the upbeats...to play bebop correctly.
At 4:32, "One more time" - not because your viewers actually needed to hear the same scale and your accents on C, A, G, and E, but because you need to buy some time to work out what you just played. If you actually do a bit of preparation, you wouldn't need to spend three seconds working out it's a G# in a C major bebop scale!!
does anyone ever tell you that you look like a grown up version of adam from the goldbergs?
