Can you learn bebop?

By practicing the suggested exercises in the prescribed way, you can easily develop a jazz vocabulary with authentic things to say over chord sequences!

By practicing the vocabulary and knowing/hearing where to play it, you can really sound like a bebop veteran.

Okay, it might not happen over night but, in this video is a path for you to follow and develop vocabulary in a way that you can sound super authentic.

At the end of the day you need to be able to instantly play great sounding vocabulary over any chord within a tune you are working on. This video will also show you how to practice in such a way!

I even show you how you can take/steal vocabulary from your favourite player and develop it into your own playing!

Practicing bebop lines can be a tiresome affair if you are not doing it the right way!

Many students simply try to remember licks, this is a great way to develop vocabulary and emulate your favourite players approaches but I have found that it is hard to remember a whole bunch of licks in different keys, for different chords, for different tunes!

My favoured way it to practice as proposed in this video. Practice small, easily digestable chucks of vocabulary that are easier to remember, that you can also apply to virtually any chord or jazz standard!

I hope this video helps you in some way.
