Must Know Bebop Lick #1

Guide to Must Know Bebop Lick #1 is available for download here: bit.ly/2bPqhRf
This guide includes 20 examples of how to use one of the most important licks in the jazz language as described in Jeff's video lesson above. Each example is loaded with quintessential bebop vocabulary that is broken down with scale degrees written out note-for-note to make analysis and transposition to other keys much, much easier.
Also included are corresponding audio recordings of each example played at slow and fast tempos.

I am so glad that you will be posting more videos. These tips have tweaked every detail of my playing as a trumpet player. Your awesome man!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@michaeldanny8393]

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Michael Danny Can't go wrong with Bud. Thanks for watching, Mike!

[@danielfrancoise8881]

thank you so much!!!! Many people who play jazz are used to talk about this like a top secret or clasified information but you explein it clear and easylier.

[@shuvodipghosh]

I love your lessons. So practical, useful and easy to understand how you teach them. Great work man.

[@wgbm92]

Thanks for the videos, Jeff. I am a bass player and find your videos very helpful. I love that your topics are musically broad and not just centered on the sax, this broadens your subscriber base, imo. Keep up the good work.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+wgraj So glad to hear the videos are helpful. Trying to keep it useful for all instruments. Thanks for watching!

[@saxman3336]

Love it, keep em coming Jeff

[@EdGuion]

Jeff, I really enjoy studying all your videos . I learn so much, that I never took the time to do right. Now I,m really enjoying "shedding " your instruction. Thanks man !!

[@FrankSpeer66]

Man Jeff this stuff is gold! This is the kind of stuff I've been looking for for years! Please keep it coming brother! And thank you

[@stevepethel6843]

Beautiful sound and thank you for sharing.....God bless you for giving that video to all of us.

[@niklasarends4000]

Im really liking your ideas and your sound on the sax!! You give someone, who comes from the classical side of the sax a very good and transparent explanation of jazz and therefore your videos are a great entrance to the world of jazz. Looking forward to those every day videos! :) Greetings from Germany

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Niklas Arends Thanks for watching, Niklas! Glad you like the videos.

[@jsf662]

+JSchneidsMusic I like your videos, man. Not only very good for sax players, it is useful for musicians in general, and I do not hesitate on suggesting it to friends. Congratulations! Keep it up!

[@thwninjascopez]

Hey man, awesome to hear these vids are coming every day, I'm super excited! If I could make a suggestion: can you go really in depth into how to use the tritons sub as a soloist? Like when to use it and how to use it effectively? Thanks! Your vids rock!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+THW NinjaScopez Thanks for the kind words! Tritone sub video coming soon, I promise!

[@grillmeister0815]

i love licks, and learning licks. and your content is awesome man ! keep that series up ! :)

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+grillmeister0815 Thanks! I'll do more!

[@tejs1234]

I think the Lick-Lessons are nice because it gives specific examples for practice. :D nice videos btw - always stuffed with information and a good explanation.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Thor Johansen Thanks, Thor! More lick videos to come.

[@mdc58]

Nice one Jeff. Guitar player here. This lick is very useful. I had fun placing it into what I might normally do and then changing it up and mutating it. Good ear opener.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Michael Carroll Awesome, Michael. Glad it was helpful.

[@finnywiggins]

I have found my new favorite youtuber, YAS! Learning so much from you!

[@memeteamdreamteam3990]

Man, after a bad band competition and a shift at work this is a great thing to come home to.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+SynchroTweed So happy to hear that! Thanks for watching :)

[@troysmithfr]

[@marcst1231]

thank you Jeff sounds great. Great videos keep them coming.

[@mimim8490]

amazing video yet again,thank you so much!!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Mimi M Thanks, Mimi!

[@kevyngolf8204]

Great Video Jeff.Quick question: Concert C(Ionian)-7,1,3,5,7 or B,C,E,G,B Then you state D-7,same numbers,7,1,3,5,7 or E,F,A,C,E If the D-7(Dorian) key is used wouldn't the same numbers(7,1,3,5,7) be C,D,F,A,C? Apologies for not understanding but why then did you change to 9,b3rd,5,b7th,9?

[@jaykay1053]

Wow! Awesome explanation, giving chord tones of the arpeggio + which degree to start on and what chord it fits nicely over... super! I feel like I have something I can really work on. Jeff, would you mind adding to this by mentioning what arpeggio would fit nicely over a dominant 7th? Then, I'd have a cool II, V, I exercise to work on. Thanks, Jeff.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+jaykay1053 Thanks for the comment! You can try the line starting on the 6 or 13 of a V7 chord: C7 would be A Bb D F A. A slight variation that works is F# G Bb D F#, but that does change the intervals of the original line.

[@jaykay1053]

Super! Thanks Jeff. :)

[@robertbrittain3996]

Great great vids and presence Jeff.. with much appreciation and greetings from New Zealand.. (south pacific) :)

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Robert Brittain Thanks for watching, Robert. Greetings from the United States!

[@steve100shane]

loving the vids man

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+stephen esquivido Thanks, Stephen!

[@eltacrash]

Simple but powerful!

[@Davidkaisermusic]

Teaching more about theory would be so awesome. I'm in music school but all the theory courses are mostly classically focused. Trying to find some great outside resources for learning about jazz harmony

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Davidkjazz More theory videos to come. Keep an eye and an ear out. Thanks for watching :)

[@mrcubey]

Great stuff!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Adam Klein Thanks, Adam :)

[@Handle2point0]

You are our KZbin David Baker.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

That's a very nice compliment. Thanks!

[@vspaulding1]

Thanks Jeff Much love:)

[@arnieus866]

I immediately heard Tommy Dorsey playing the first 5 notes of "Getting Sentimental Over You".

[@mileschen7239]

I know, I heard exactly the same thing!

[@jaykay1053]

Jeff, I'm a classical player... have always wanted to get that "jazz sound". Discovered your tone stuff and have been watching your embouchure...have been working on eliminating the covered lip but I've never been able to figure out how you jazz cats create that unique doit sound. So I've been watching and listening to the 5th note of your figure at 1:08. Can you maybe do a video about just that... how to articulate a doit rather than a clean, straight articulated note? I know where in my phrases I want to articulate to get that sound but I can't, for the life of me, make it happen. Thanks for any suggestions, and thanks for your great videos.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+jaykay1053 Great idea for a video. I will cover it soon!

[@sevenminaya1390]

Jeff can we also think about it in the form of the relative major? As in if you think of Fmaj7 instead of Dmin7 you get E F A C E

[@christopherjm21]

Love it!!

[@louisthompson1020]

Just ordered "Bebop#1" , hope it will help this amateur trumpet player , Thanks!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

Thanks for your order, Louis! Please let me know if you have any questions.

[@rvaldo9247]

Thanks man

[@tomeks88pl]

Great video, we want more! :)

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+ha ha ha On it!! Thanks :)

[@olivierherment1188]

Thank you. Very Helpful. It could be more helpful if you show the note at the bottom of the video. Thank you for your work

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

Thanks, Olivier! You can check out the written notes here if you like: bit.ly/1X6oROK

[@tylerm6597]

yay! can you do more bebop? and teach more about the theory? thanks!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Tyler Morgan YES

[@MarcosBluesharp]

Jeff Schneider you are the man!!!! I REALLY appreciate your kindness in putting out these vids, keep up the good work!!!!! Jazz on

[@oneilchery1192]

[@andrewm6226]

You're awesome!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Andrew Mathew Thanks, Andrew!

[@crazysax193]

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Wildmayer Marcelin Hey, thanks!!! Do you mean 2 lick within 1 ii v i?

[@cesardenis9014]

MUY BUENO !!!

[@diditzp6008]

i just wacth your damn good hair

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Didit ZP hahaha, whatever works!

[@shakazulu365]

solid ideas

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+shaka zulu Thanks!

[@user-ig5eb5li3t]

Why do use an example that with the alto (that you are playing) is in key of C# which requires 7 sharps, probably the hardest scale to learn? Although the lick may be “easy”, putting it in 7 sharps makes it intimidating!

[@god100god]

super awesome

[@CruelLion7]

You are amazing

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

Thank you so much :)

[@ultrafloss492]

Very nice! I do however have the need to confess that I play your licks on my guitar. All jokes aside, thank you very much!!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

that's awesome! glad you're busting this stuff out on your guitar.

[@manuelruta4110]

Jeff,canyou please write it on sax notes,sothat I can practice it...Thank you so much.God Bless...

[@rosstones1]

good stuff. I'm saying thumbs up.

[@andylopez0731]

How does he do that little shake thing when he plays high C#? At 2:59 Does anyone know what that embellishment is called and/or how to do it?

[@zoerehu1110]

really would like some funk licks to purchase please:)

[@aaronwest1525]

Hi Jeff, I clicked on the link it is gone now. Do you still have it? Thanks

[@cldavis33]

Hmmm, that D-7 chord is identical the major F using the original inversion you used on the first chord...confusing. So a cmaj7 + Fmaj7 is the same exact thing, just different inversions.

[@kickflip060]

The way i see it it's the same, but depending on the chord you are playing in, it makes different kinds of tension, wich makes a rich diversity of sounds on each kind of chord

[@denisivanov2522]

Jeff hi!! Do more blues licks please. maybe blues-be bop. Thanks.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

Thanks, Denis! Will do :)

[@denisivanov2522]

+Jeff Schneider you're great man, dude)) wish you billion subscribers

[@fcmcfcmc]

Guitar player. Subscribed

[@tobbebergman7583]

Is this the Woody Allen of Sax or what ? Great channel !

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Tobbe Bergman I think he plays the clarinet, but thanks!

[@tobbebergman7583]

+Jeff Schneider Great channel for a guitar player like me ;)

[@davidrandal7476]

+Jeff Schneider I think he meant Woody Herman, Woody Allen is the actor/ director.

[@tobbebergman7583]

David Randal And musician ;)

[@peterrawlings3896]

No, he meant Woody Allen... just take a look at him! :-)

[@Bookssful]

Very handy...

[@elishadn]

Do you play on a C melody sax?

[@funnyasme]

Guide is broken i guess? Cannot be downloaded

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

The Charlie Parker of saxophone instructions, Jeff is.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

Haah thanks!

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

+Jeff Schneider - with admiration, gratitude and respect!

[@ventus627]

1:25 Preach it!

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+ventus627 yezzir!

[@marcst1231]

how do you build the line for a dominant 7th

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+marcst1231 Great question. You could think of it as 13 b7 9 11 13 or for C7: A Bb D F A

[@elsdlcielo]

The link its Broken!

[@harrisonbrightskull2723]

On a daily!

[@ShilohMcGroove]

10 squares who can’t be a cat disliked this video.

[@BlasJohnny]

Very cool bro

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@nicscott8560]

he ended the opening lick with the licccccccccc

[@mikaelandersson6662]

I don't see the logic in this approach ? On CMaj you start on the 7th and on Dmin you start on th 9th ?

[@tobbebergman7583]

+Mikael Andersson Good to know that I'm not alone !

[@noahpettibon]

Because E is the 9 of Dmin and that was the starting note of the lick.

[@noahpettibon]

But B is the 7 of Cmaj

[@tobbebergman7583]

Noah Pettibon Duh !

[@supersalsa9491]

because Dmin is the relative minor of f major. so he's playing the notes you would play of the chord was Fmaj7. but it's just the relative minor chord so it works there too. don't think of it as starting on the 9th of the minor chord, but the major 7th of the relative major. so in terms of Fmaj7 (or Dmin, same key), he uses E (maj7) F (root) A (3rd) c (5th) E (root). make sense? I can try to explain better if it doesn't make sense

[@joelasaucedo]

Major 7s are the best thing that ever happened to music 😂

[@malcolmford2146]

Sounds like " I can't get started without you"

[@andrewmiller9207]

Thank goodness Jeff has changed his hair style in his recent videos....

[@LiterallyTaxiDriver]

Yey , remember me when you'll be famous :)

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Timon Murrath Thanks, Timon. Also, nice profile pic!

[@tobydouglas1410]

damn bra. Sik linz. do. you study. b9?

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

oh yeah, for sure.

[@denisivanov2522]

feels like song "i can't get started"

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Denis Ivanov YES! I was thinking that, too, Denis. Thanks for the comment!

[@ANSIcode]

Also the beginning of "getting sentimental over you"...

[@singmysong4444]

Nice videos good stuff.... only advise would be to play more.... talk less. Would be useful to hear a simple rhythm section behind you... to show how the "licks" can be used in the real world situation with a band.

[@JeffSchneiderMusic]

+Joseph Miller Thanks for the feedback, Joe.
