Stuck on the blues scale? Here's an escape plan to help you or your students move up to the next level in a way that's accessible and sounds musical.

Practical tips for teachers and beginning to intermediate jazz improvisation students. This is based on a key centre approach that I've had a lot of success with, helping many students progress beyond the early blues scale rut where many new jazz students can get stuck.

One could learn more from this 10:42 video, then from some online courses! Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!

Yes, Jimmy has an amazing talent for bebop, probably the best I have ever heard.

This is great stuff, a lot more comprehensive than a lot of YouTubers saying “just transcribe”, it’s great advice but not really comprehensive for beginners. This is great, keep it up :)

I'd love to get the examples in notation if possible in any way.

This information is gold. Any minor minor bebop examples or vocabulary coming in the future?

Would you agree that changing to 4ths tuning is a good idea for someone learning these things? (soloing over chord changes ...) I find it's easier and it reduces brain processing power with 4ths tuning but I'm not sure if it would have any negative effects in the future... would it be bad for comping for example? I've gotten pretty comfortable with 4ths tuning over the last 3 months , the only thing that bothers me is relearning the first 2 string notes which i already know intuitively on standard tuning... just wanted to really hear your advice on this as i highly respect your ideas ! Thank you !
