In this guitar lesson, Jon MacLennan will teach you a pretty basic bebop lick in the style of Pat Martino, so if you want to get into jazz and bebop guitar I really recommend you to check out this lesson.
So, what is jazz bebop style? Bebop or bop is a style of jazz characterized by fast tempo, instrumental virtuosity and improvisation based on the combination of harmonic structure and melody. It was developed in the early and mid-1940s. This style of jazz ultimately became synonymous with modern jazz, as either category reached a certain final maturity in the 1960s.
Also if you don't know Pat Martino you should check him out... He is an Italian-American jazz guitarist and composer within the post bop, fusion, mainstream jazz, soul jazz and hard bop idioms.
Alright, the example of today´s lesson like we already said, it is a bebop line in G minor with some chromatic notes and pentatonics, which is something commonly used in this kind of style.
Ok, hope this helps and don´t forget to come up with your own ideas, which is the best advice for starting to find `your´ unique sound and style. That is all for today...
