Several guys contacted me about the link to the Bebop scales. I had
a hard time finding my way back there too! Try:
By the way, transpose the scale up a half-step to F and play the
runs over a 12-bar blues in F or a vamp in Cm.

Today's lesson showed me kind of where we're headed and especially
how
things build on the past lessons.
We worked on 2 single note runs played over a blues progression or
vamp
in F. One of these, we had run over briefly a couple weeks ago.
The
other was based on the Bebop scale*. These are introduced to give
my
improvisation a little more flavor. These is the same approach
the
teacher teaches in a college improv course to all jazz students
whatever the instrument.
Next, I have to work on the Eighth-note study and the Arp study on
p.
61 in Leavitt I. I am to use alternate picking only.
Last, new song, 'Nardis' by Miles Davis, Real Book, 6th ed. p.
296.
It's in G, so I have to go to Leavitt p. 80 for the position.
Teacher
says it may have been written by Bill Evans who was in Miles'
group at
the time. I am to research it.
*For guys that are following along: Go to
www.freeguitarvideos.com and
check out Track 11 - Lesson 2 - Bebop Licks, for an example of the
Bebop scale (in E or Bm) and a few licks similar to what I did
today.
Again feel free to contact me directly for any comments, questions
or
other communication.
