    If you want to play amazing jazz lines like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie then you need to learn the language within jazz called, "Bebop".
    "Bebop" is a foundational language in jazz that is based on lots of chromaticism and angular melodies and you need to be able to play this style in order to sound really hip like just about any of the pro jazz musicians out there today.
    So, in this video, we're going to take a simple melodic idea and start applying the elements of bebop to it so that we end up with an amazing bebop line that you can start applying to your own improvisation.

    Studying the Omnibook is such a great way to expedite some of the early stages of players bebop development.

    Hey, thanks for sharing a digestible bebop primer. As a non-jazz guitarist, bebop has been mostly impetratable to me. Even with the three bebop techniques you show (I totally get there is a whole lot more behind this), a good deal of bebop-inflected jazz now opens up to me. It is great to understand how chromaticism is applied in bebop in a way that removes the "magic" from it. Also, that is a kickass semi-hollow guit-fiddle you have there. Cheers.

    The most important thing which should be emphasised is RHYTHM. We begin there before everything else.

    Hey man,
    I'm trying to develop my Jazz and Jazz-Blues Soloing Vocabulary by learning Heads & Solos. I wonder if you could give me some suggestions. If you were my teacher, what would you prescribe me!?
    I've learned Parker playing Billie's Bounce, Now's The Time, Au Privave.
    I then learned the solos on Chitlins Con Carne - Burrell; Grand Slam - Christian; Cool Blues - Green; Four on Six - Montgomery; Borgia Stick - Benson.
    Can you give me any suggestions for next steps please?

    Hi Brent. Just wondering if the Jazz Standards Playbook 1 available in a hard copy? I recommended it to a friend who’d rather not use a PDF. Thanks so much.

      Hey there! It's only available in PDF form. We do have some folks who print it out though!

    Excuse me, but I have to ask you something unrelated to this video.
    Some of your fantastic backing tracks that I love to practice on have completely disappeared from youtube.
    Could you look into this? Your tracks are the best. Thank you

    I followed your ideas until about halfway through. Then you threw me because I was looking for a "rule" that stated, for example, play the target note on the downbeat and play the enclosing notes on the upbeats. Then the example you played had one measure of 8th notes, target note on "2" followed by a phrase with the same target note on "1&".
