Holy sh..t this is the best bebop class I have heard, sounds like real bebop with simple guidelines. This class is soo underrated, you get the real sound in minutes, not like the Barry Harris method with all that confusing invented terminology.
This is a great way to describe Barry Harris’ “half step rules,” although I’ve never heard of him clarifying how to address starting on non-scale tones. Thanks for the vid! Looking forward to the rest of this series
@@mellodc But Chris Parks is a first call...Things I've Learned From Barry Harris cannot be beat. The episode the half-step rules for major chords has stuff on starting on any note.
Great player, great teacher. Would really like to learn more about your right hand technique. Edit: He actually have a picking masterclass lesson on his website.
This is a fantastic instructional video and I’m constantly amazed that a young guy like yourself can contain so much seasoned musical knowledge! Thank you, this one will take some time but I’m excited to start working on these concepts!
Thank you, Cecil! Your insight is very useful. There are many bebop scales, however, some may be less relevant than others depending on an individual player’s approach to melodic chromaticism. If you were to cover more material on this in addition to major and dominant, would you consider creating a video on the melodic minor bebop and half diminished bebop scales?
The concept of playing chord tones only on strong beats is such a difficult concept to actually incorporate. This lesson really helps explain it. Thanks.

He has a lot of patterns that involve notes outside of the scale. His “half-step below” ideas might give you something to play with.
This series is excellent for all things BH related, including non scale tones…ua-cam.com/video/KQgBnh9vUgI/v-deo.htmlsi=PecUOW7TYpJVyOvt

Thank you Peace
Great vid!
LMAO Key and Peele at 2:02
wow super informative
Great lesson!
very good vid
do you have any video lesson program that I can buy? I am complete beginner and I really want to play bebob.
6:15 can you run these arpeggios up scale wise ie Cmaj 7 up bebop down then D min7 up bebop down or is that a mistake? Thanks for all this info
Yeah definitely, though the arpeggios Dmin7, Fmaj7, G7 and Bmin7b5 will probably sound like V-I. Nothing is a mistake if you dig it
