Great stuff, the idea comes from the Barry Harris Chromatic scale. The idea is to play chromatically between all whole steps on whichever scale you are using, while the half steps you have to put a rhythmic placeholder on the off beat. To land on the next scale tone. This is where Cecil does the two note enclosures which is one pathway: the other is to do any diatonic tone above. Ex 5-b5-4-5-3 etc Practice this from every arpeggio in every scale. The only exception to these guidelines is when you play any scale that has a minor third interval (harmonic minor, and harmonic majors) You then do a 3 note enclose Ex 8-9-7-b7-6-5-b6-#11-5-b5-4-3-b3 I get how I have this noted is crude but just imagine these lines as 8th notes or 16th notes. I also recommend checking out Barry Harris’s concept on adding triplets to these lines. Will greatly expand upon what was shared in this video, in Cecil’s book, and any other bop vocabulary that you happen upon.

In all seriousness, I just realized im understanding the topic and whats being said, but its going to take a lot of practice because im not on that level yet. I understand it, I cant do it yet.

Trying to take it all in would be over whelming. Pick a small piece and avoid the frustration.

Excellent video, as usual from you! I have purchased so many books from your website that I've already lost count of them 🙂 Material worth years of practice.

This video is great and the introduction, even though its intended to be fun (which it is) identifies perfectly the troubles when learning (and teaching) this resource. Thanks

There are only 12 tones, and everyone of them can be justified against the harmony, so the truth is, you can pretty much play anything, everything fits and works, it sort of boils down to making sure you always know where you are in the tune, can always immediately refer to the melody no matter where you are, always be able to resolve to an existing chord tone to reassure the listener you know what you are doing, have a strong sense of the pulse, and the subdivisions of time, create interesting phrases, develop motifs, themes, etc. As long as the listener likes it and it makes them feel good, you win.

As long as the listener enjoys it, I agree, if you can refer back to the melody while you’re adding new expressions, then isn’t that inspiring the listener to a new level of enjoyment. I watched this video hoping for a solution to make my improve better. But when bebop is presenting so many notes, during the improv it’s hard to hear an inspired expression, I hear this flurry of notes that are impressive, but leaves me kind of empty. Then I add the fact that it’s going to take hours and hours of practice to internalize these bebop rules. I wonder if it’s worth it.

Unfortunately, I can't read music (well, just a little). I play my flute by ear so these courses are too "technical" for me.

If you rewind the first two second by tapping the screen on repeat his head tweaks out pretty funny.
