Description

Add some Bebop to your Blues playing! In this lesson, I offer you a simple approach to adding a Bebop flavor to your Blues. By utilizing these simple One Bar Bebop Blues, I teach you how to take your Blues playing beyond the Blues Scales you might already be familiar with and start adding that Bebop sound you hear all the great Jazz players use.
This lesson is a great introduction to “jazzing up” your blues for both the beginner, as well as the intermediate player who wants to start exploring the Bebop language over the familiar Blues form. By keeping things simple and internalizing these One Bar Bebop Blues, you’ll be able to quickly absorb the sound and style of the great Jazz Blues players. I demonstrate each lick and show you how I go about practicing and using these licks over a twelve bar blues.
You’ll learn how to play each lick through the blues form and then you’ll learn how to alter, mix, match and combine these simple one bar phrases, to create flowing Bebop lines.
By practicing these licks through the Blues form, I’ll show you how you can train your ears and fingers to start hearing and assimilating the Bebop language as you build your Jazz vocabulary. These phrases are the very same licks and patterns you’ve heard from the great Jazz Blues players like Sonny Stitt, Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderly, Gene Ammons, and Hank Mobley.
Listen as I demonstrate not only how to play and practice these licks, but also how to develop a concept for analyzing these licks so that you can learn, remember, and transpose them through the form with ease.
You’ll also learn the Bebop Dominant Scale as I demonstrate how you can add this scale to the One Bar Bebop Blues and take your Blues playing even further.
Finally, I demonstrate how you can use these licks with your Blues Scales, by combining these ideas with the licks, ideas and concepts covered in my previous lessons.
If you liked Using the Blues Scale Part 1 & 2 and One Bar Blues Licks you’ll love One Bar Bebop Blues.  (Audio)

    A great lesson. I love the way you emphasize learning a few licks, learning them really well, then altering them and finally, mixing and matching them to form an original idea. It kind of reinforces the idea that it isn’t so much about knowing a million licks, but rather, knowing a few really well and then being able to personalize and vary those licks and string them together to make a longer phrase. Again, great lesson and thanks

    This is a great lesson, it’s a really big piece to the jigsaw I am building, I have practiced a few of the licks and I am excited about learning them and applying them to my playing. If your looking for gold then you have found it with this lesson it is a great way to infuse the blues chord progression with a bit of jazz! Really masterfully done Steve well done!

    Kindest Regards Stephen (selmerc*)

Absolutely the best learning experience in my 40 years of playing.These books are awesome!!
Alfred LaBella
I have NEVER seen material like yours.  Amazing!!
Jerry

I want to thank you again, because, not only are you an inspiration to listen to, you are a fine teacher!

I have been teaching sax and other winds for over 20 years, and you give me that “push” to give my students more!

I am enjoying your style of teaching, and you’ve done a great job with the videos….good sound quality and well constructed lessons.  Balances the more guitaristic material found on the majority of guitar based programs.  Jazz vocab is what I’m all about at this point in the journey.   I especially dig the fact that you’ve studied with Bergonzi…helps me see his voluminous output in a more  bite sized way.

I have been a member of Neffmusic for more than a year now and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have not only been going thru the Dominant Bebop Scale lessons and book (OUTSTANDING!) but the mouthpiece reviews, solo clips and transcriptions are very interesting. Steve approach to beginning and intermediate improv have given me many new pathways to teach my high school jazz ensemble students. Congratulations Steve, great product!

I am a music book junkie and I have to say that your books are the most clear, user friendly, and helpful books I own.  They are my absolute favorites and I only wish I had them years ago.  I wouldn’t change a thing about the experience I had in acquiring my degree at Berklee, but my playing has perhaps grown more in the time I’ve spent buried in your books and lessons.  Keep up the great work!!! Thanks, John

I’ve been having ‘ online’  lessons with Steve for a few months now. Being a teacher myself I had had some reservations with the idea at first and the practicalities of it .  Let me just say that my playing has taken a huge leaps forward while studying with Steve and continues to do so.Steve studied with some renowned player/teachers such as Bergonzi and Garzone– this in itself is invaluable but Steve teaches from his own books, which cover a a vast amount of  jazz language.

Steve’s monthly lessons are entirely valuable. Without brow beating, he tells you all the stuff you deep down know you really should be working on, instead of just relying on the same old patterns. In spite of the fact that you’re taking a video lesson, Steve’s presentation is comfortable and “real”. In a little more than a year, he’s developed a library of lessons that seem to offer any player a lifetime’s worth of practice material. I’m just glad I stumbled upon it.… Read more

I must say again how much I appreciate all your material. Including the video tutorials. It help keep me focused and knowing what to aim for. And your laid back teaching style appeals to me too. 

Thanks
