The Art of Bebop scales
There are bits and pieces of information about Bebop scales on the internet, but not ONE trustworthy resource that provides a standalone roadmap of study from basic fundamentals to advanced applications. That is until now!
Whether you’re a new or experienced Improviser, the ART of BEBOP SCALES will transform the way think about playing Jazz forever.
In Classical music conservatories students pore over the 4 part counter point of Bach´s chorales, learning the rules of voice leading.
Studying Bebop scales is the jazz equivalent of this discipline, as there are certain ways and conventions to use chromatic notes that that the student of jazz must understand sooner or later.
