I try to imitate what you are doing, but I'm baffled by your chords. This is blues in F, but I don't really see what your substitute chords are for F. I see chords like BbMAJOR (inverted) and maybe Dm7-5. You are one advanced player! I listen to bebop players like Bud Powell and Monk. Who are your main influences, and is there a book that best explains your chord changes? thanks

Yeah, and the tripod is duct taped to the harp. Camera wanted to fall forward and bonk my noggin otherwise.

Following that I'm just playing a bop scale-like lick downward over the turnaround F7-D7-Gmi-C7 in the last two bars (almost a Donna Lee quote) down to E but I do one of those dim scale walkups (E G Bb Db) real quick to get back up to C and scale down to F7 on the one.

The things out of that article that I do repeatedly here are surrounding a chord tone and walk up a dim 7th like you pointed out. I play D7->Gmi there by walking up the dim chord that corresponds to D7, but beat 4 there is the note just above and just below G, which is the down beat. I anticipate the change from Gmi to C7--the "Donna Lee" lick there is happening on beats 3 and 4 of the Gmi bar, then I sort of re-run it over C7 when it does change.

So the bop scale idea is just to get you feeling the "chord tones on down beats." It's a somewhat formulaic way to acheive that effect, and get a stronger line. It's not the only way though.

Great energy and lines. You are a bop maniac! I love it. So you actually had to remove the fallboard to get this shot?

Hello,
9.07 to about 9.15. What are you doing there?
By the way, where are you using the bop scale in this piece dude?
Absolutely great. Where can I buy ur CD?

Hey look I've worked it out already. You use it 4or 5 times through-out the solo and its easier to pick it up later on. Thanks so much for your vids, I 'm learing alot for bop usage. Like the quotes in there too. Giant Steps would be a great to watch too.
