I almost didn't watch this because "bebop scale" wasn't really my interest... But this is "beyond bebop" - it's really a way to be aware of rhythm, harmony and an improvised melody all at the same time. Wow.
Cool that you address the normal emotional reactions like frustration and lack of instant gratification when learning something new, regardless of one's skill level. I've stuck with this and it's starting to paying off like a hockey stick graph...slow, tedious, annoying...then small victories start to occur intermittently...then steep progress finally. Don't give up before the prize. Thanks for your work 🙏😎✌
Totally agree. It’s like anything else, if getting better at something is a passion, it probably will take time. I call it “Doing push ups “. If one wants to build muscle, you have to exercise. I love practicing difficult stuff and because I’m older ( 63 ) it helps keep the brain processing data and just not sitting and watching. Every once in a while something pokes through and you’ve gotten a little better. Very satisfying.
Excited to try to learn this treading water exercise. I can just feel how useful it would be to master it. And the technique of continuing with the pattern until you have thought about the next move and can nail it and keep the feel going, is a great idea. Thanks for a great video!
thanks jared, love watching things like this at work while doing monotonous tasks. it allows myself to think about it and understand what’s going on before i jump in when i get home. great lesson😎
Love the approach. Love the attitude towards it. “If it takes u an hour to figure out what the hell we’re doing here, than good!” LOL. In other words, lf u want results, u hv to work at it.
This is INCREDIBLE and will give me plenty to chew on for a long time. I tabbed out each exercise to help me work through it. Thank you so much. Question: This video is using the Dominant Bebop scale. Should we also do the "Treading Water" exercise with the Major and Dorian scales used in the Level 1 video (but over a maj7 or m7 chord)? Thanks for the help.
Yeah, I prefer to show scale degrees instead of note names. It helps us internalize the chord tones better, and you can translate the exercises anywhere on the fretboard. Thanks for the comment!
Hey, I would like to apply this concept of treading water to 7 note scales (i.e. Mixolydian). What would you do with the 5-6-7-1 sequence in the two note group? I thought 5-6, 7-6, 1-7 as the seventh is a chord tone and can also be used as a leading tone to the tonic (obviously here the 7 is a b7, so more like a blues/rock leading tone)
Great question, yes you can use this in the 7-note scales as well. The two-note group makes it easy to apply anywhere, so you can do: 5-4, 5-6, 7-6, 7-1, 1-7, 1-2, etc... Hope that makes sense. The bigger note groupings would note work as well unless adding a chromatic passing tone somewhere, but great idea using the 2-note group in a diatonic scale 👍. Thanks for asking.
Jared, great lesson. Was there any reason, on three notes for example , the pattern is not symmetrical? Say from 3 the pattern down is 3,2,3,4. Shouldn't the up pattern be 3,4,3,2 rather than 3,4,5,4. Maybe it's good to learn both!
So I might have become dyslexic without knowing it...are we using the four Bb7dom chord tones (2 octaves) to bracket around or the individual notes of the Bb mixolydian scale? I can't tell from the video. Thanks!

A Great lesson

True, it does apply to more than bebop. Glad it's useful for you. Thanks for the comment :)

Thanks so much! I hope the exercise helps!
Really great lesson. It's brilliant in its simplicity. Tyvm
Thank you! 😊

Cool! I hope you enjoy the practice!

Great lesson. I've started doing this and it's very useful to build that muscle memory.
Glad it's helping! Thanks for the comment :)
thank you ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Thanks so much! :)
Thanks
Thanks so much! :)
@@soundguitar you welcome,
has level 3 been made yet?! loving these:)
Not Yet, I got sidetracked, haha! It's coming though. It's on my list. Stay tuned :) Thanks for asking

Glad you liked! Thanks for watching. Yep, do it on every chord type if possible.
Very good teacher. Thank you
Thank you! 😃
Jared, I'm interested in improvising and your tutorials are terrific! ty so much!
So glad to hear it! Happy practicing 😊
Hey Jared, thank you very much for this awesome lesson!
My pleasure. I'm glad you liked it :)
I love your playing!
Thanks! :)
NLP neural linguistic programing. genius. or maybe we call it nfp, neural finger programing. still genius. what a super video. thank you.
Great way of framing it
Haha, neural finger programming 😂
Glad you liked the vid!
Do you prefer to have the numbering opposed to the note lettering, A, B C....? Great lesson! This is certainly with intentional learning.

Great lesson Jared. Thanks. What are you wearing on three fingers of your right hand?
Thanks! It's these picks: ua-cam.com/video/8VIk--237AE/v-deo.htmlsi=KIvp9kyK09owOsfL
Thank you for this wonderful work can we apply it to major and minor Bebop

That's all covered on the way down the scale form. It's all in there and one can certainly do them in any order they want. Good question thanks :)

Play around the chord tones of Bb7, thanks for asking! :)
Should start calling it the Passing Scale
So I'm guessing this takes place over all the positions of mixolydian and bebop positions?
Yup! You can apply the patterns to other scale positions 👍
Jazz, rarely used for me.
