Bebop Explained

[@laurar7062]

Good video, just wish you'd played examples during the explanations in the first 2/3's of it.

[@maryerb6062]

Yeah, this is about music and verbal doesn't cut it.

[@Ray_Argues]

Did he ever played it? I'm like here waiting for it and moving into sections. Can't find it. Maybe I'll just leave. 😅

[@mjcs6399]

I feel like he's reading a thesis.

[@Arycke]

The explanations were quite clear. Listen to the music of each Era for examples or check out detailed, individual song breakdowns. This was a general overview, not a detailed assay. He gave examples in the beginning, mentioned numerous players and the key bands to check out to get started, and played part of Donna Lee. Having more musical examples in the video would make it more standalone video, true, but I enjoyed checking out all the examples he listed and actively listening to them.

That video was very helpful. Usually other videos/articles stop at "bebop was faster and more complex".

[@kamrankerim636]

these series are immensely valuable! I cannot thank you enough, sir!

[@ViktorijaPilatovic]

Very clear, interesting and informative video! Thank you! Will pass it on 🙏🏼☺️

[@Malcolm.Y]

Masterful. The best and most complete explanation I have heard, and that should be reviewed more than once. The only significant omission, in my opinion, might be the "why" - argpeggios up and steps down. Ascending and skips tend to create more tension; while descending and steps tend to more resolution. You coul probably do another 18 minutes on articulation.

[@TylerAStinson]

1:56 That scene in whiplash. My roomate is huge into Big Band and Bebop. It’s in his top 3 films from the 2010s

[@DaniMusiX]

Ok now it clicked. I finally understand what bebop is about

[@kenbroadbent7288]

Great video. Perfect explanation.

[@DanielVerberne]

6:44 - cool to see reference to chromaticism, as that’s one of the elements of bebop that first comes to my mind.

[@sanferrera]

An excellent video! Thank you!

[@vincewise855]

Very interesting and outlines the theory behind this difficult genre of jazz.

[@TheBlueThird]

Excellent explanations. I practice these very same things in all keys at different tempos. It takes work and it gets better with practice.

[@Swingffle]

good analysis. Why in some comments people say there is no playing of the content being taught? Donna Lee was played as a show case.

[@Snavels]

1:44 And while the movie Whiplash is incorrect about it being thrown at his head (especially the part about it nearly decapitating him) The drummer Jo Jones actually *did* throw a cymbal at him.

[@georgemartisius7226]

I've heard he just threw it on the ground. Let's be honest though you know how long it takes to take a symbol of a drum set to throw? The whole story is probably apocryphal.

[@Snavels]

@@georgemartisius7226 He threw the cymbal in his general direction. It just landed on the ground near his feet. Being a drummer myself, it takes less than a few seconds for me to flick off the wing nut, and take the cymbal off its stand.

[@dankierson]

Why not play 2 pieces, one swing and one bebop?

[@abhishekkorekar9101]

Can anyone suggest me songs of these gener .

[@DS-yg4qs]

Great lesson.

[@pgon9097]

so bebop was named like djent was

[@chuck347]

Thanks...great vídeo.

[@TommyLikeTom]

So what you are saying is that bebop is what intelligent musicians do when they know they're about to die?

[@ymattar]

Hi. What style/ sub genre would you consider Ted Dunbar's "Neeta" to be in?

[@LydianLunch]

Yeezer Mac Ted’s stuff is great!! I think if you have to put him in a genre the’ ve come up with “post-bop.” Kind a catch all for all the jazz that has come after fusion was the dominant movement. All the ECM stuff etc. which is steeped in jazz harmony but brings in a lot of other influences too.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

I just did about eight beginning Donnelly tutorials. I had to do a lot of work using various scales like like b-flat for d flat minor 7. I've had a lot of the same experiences that the Bebop crowd had but on a personal level. One thing I've been doing lately is not excusing myself for playing and my favorite keys. What happens is that songs like Donnelly are not just diatonic and force you to step up your game. That's why I like it. We have a tendency as piano players should just do things by by habit Prince we do exercises from hanon and we don't grasp what they're teaching. I think it's pretty obvious that C major 7 d Minor 7 e minor 7 f major 7 g 7 a minor 7 are what they are but the b minor 7 flat 5 it's something that comes from an ancient time and yet is used in jazz today. I can only speak for myself. I had made over 50 years the b minor 7 flat 5 probably sounds of times and arpeggios that's just a guess. Here was an aha moment that came in me I was teaching Georgia on my mind (the version that Hoagy Carmichael wrote). Song starts out fmaj7, e minor 7 flat 5, A 7 flat 9,etc. As I was describing the e minor 7 flat 5, and that it came from a modification of the e major scale... It hit me that this was nothing but a diatonic song. Fmaj7, g minor 7, a minor 7, b-flat major 7, c7, d Minor 7, e minor 7 flat 5, fmaj7.. the aha moment came when I saw the email or 7 flat 5 and I said that has to have the same basic makeup as a b minor 7 flat 5. Then I realized even though I've been using it many times I really never was proficient in the b scale itself. since those days I try to play in a different key every time I get on the piano. Golf course another aha moment is me is that and jazz and many other songs we have a tendency to have to go to many other modulations tell if you know all your diatonic scales and all the altered chords in each one then you can move flawlessly around them and that's probably what Charlie Christian did. This was an excellent tutorial. tutorial pianostyle100
