๐Ÿ’ฌ Lesson Description

This is the second lesson in my bebop scale series.

The bebop scale is about targeting chord tones on strong beats, which is a game-changing practice, whether we're interested in jazz or not.

In this video, I show you a series of drills to help you master improvising with the bebop scale.

By practicing these drills, we can break through a common challenge, which is sounding like a scale when we improvise.

We may know the “right notes” to play when improvising, but we wonder why doesn't it sound musical yet.

Step-by-step exercises like the ones in this video can help solve this problem.

I hope you enjoy the lesson!

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks! :)
