Peter Martin here for 2 Minute Jazz.
Got a quick tip for you today on bebop passing tones.
So many different ways to get into an authentic and really satisfying bebop sound,
but one of them that I love that really kind of comes from a harmonic concept
that can inform your melodic bebop playing is passing tones.
And I'm going to just talk about two today.
[C] Eb major,
[Gm] [C] you know if we improvise over Eb major [Gm] and we just stick to the Eb major scale,
[F] it's [Bb] fine, but it gets interesting when we put in those passing tones.
So if we look at the minor third, [Gb] [Eb] that's the first one.
[Gm]
And you know, there's three basic ways of thinking about this.
Start your line on the passing tone, [Ebm] and normally we're looking at resolving that
minor third [F] up to the third or down to the ninth or the second.
[Eb] You can [Gm] start your line there, or you can go to it immediately at the beginning of your line
from the third, [F] or you can do it [Gm] from the second.
I don't like that one as much.
[Fm] Or [C] the third way is to play it somewhere in the middle of your line.
[Gm] And when you're running up a scale, this is a great time to do it because it's, I mean,
it's, it works, but it's kind of, if I just play the major scale, but if I do
put
[C] that minor third resolving up to the major third in the middle of it, and then, I mean,
you know, you can get [F]
[Ab] rhythmic offsets and syncopation.
That's where it gets really nice.
So the other one I [D] like a lot is the [Eb] minor six.
Same [G] thing.
You can start your line there.
[C] You can go right to it,
[Gm] [Eb] or you can catch it in the scale.
[Bbm] [F] [Ab]
[Gm] [Gbm] [Ab] Okay, so these are just two over the major scale, but they're fun to practice, you know,
by isolating them.
Each scale has its own.
We'll get into those on other episodes, but for now,
happy practicing.
