- This video shows my approach to developing bebop vocabulary (although it can be applied to any style of music.) This technique can be used to multiply ideas, so that you never run out of things to study ;) Hope you dig!

I just bought your 20 Bebop Etudes, which is one of the few Jazz lessons that is truly Bebop. This is great because it gives the application of different concepts of Bebop playing. Awesome.
You are one of the best teachers: and except for Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour, John Scofield, and Norman Brown, you're the baddest guitar player doing it. Thanks 💪🏿💪🏼💪🏾💪💪🏻💪🏽
Huge thanks for the upload man, crazy how simple concepts become complex lines. Really helps visualize and hear these ideas way more.
This is so good Cecil! Thanks a lot for sharing this lesson.
Fantastic teaching combined with fantastic playing. You something else, Cecil.
you're amazing!!!! i would like listening to these concepts on all the things you are progression
I like the idea of a mini concept that can be applied to many scenarios. This one is versatile and sounds great. You just got a new subscriber. Nice playing!
Outstanding! Thank you Cecil!
This little thing opened up so much for me! Pure gold! 😃
Cecil, This is the best bebop lesson I’ve found. I like the no nonsense way you demonstrate. This gets to the heart of bebop and it’s very genuine. A rare find.
Thank you.
This was great advice that’s small enough to chew but will keep me busy for months and months. Can’t wait to see more lessons!
What a fantastic lesson! Thank you Cecil.
You explain it so well, but its still not that easy to comprehend, you are really awesome!! This is as good as I've heard, very nice job!
Fantastic! Great concept, great playing.
This is great info and you laid it out so well and it’s easy to understand… thanks for this! By the way I love your jazz chops and I also like your right hand picking technique, very cool! Thanks again!
Mini ideas are cool but your vocabulary is awesome
really appreciate you making this video, helps a lot!
Yeah! And the tone is insane.
Very nice- I've always avoided F# over a G7 chord until lately. It works nice as a passing tone.
Okayy thanks a bunch! I saw you on jamming compilation, and I know you were ahead in making jazzy licks, glad you make the tutorial for it!
Love the way you teach thanks for this !
I've watched every video that Cecil has put out, and to this day, I have no idea what any of it means. I just know that I like it.
So Good to hear you, thanks.
Great playing man. Love it
Always your enjoy your content on Jam Of The Week! Great video Cecil
This is such a great concept. I’ve got so much out of this video. I really like how that 1st lick at the front end of the video is lots of little phrases connected together with cool rhythm
Very interesting
Very cool concept and amazing playing!
Very hip lines man. Love it
I have not heard any bebop players teach what your teaching. Great playing and teaching. Thank you.
This is a great lesson. As soon as I heard you playing, I was like "this sounds like bebop guitar!" Many lessons provide the right concepts, from a theory point, yet it still sounds like a lesson, whereas this sound like the target of bebop.
Excellent video, thank you so much! and beautiful playing too...
Very useful and fun concept. Great lines!
You are the teacher! Thanks a million 😊
Thanks a lot, great ideas, please keep posting.
Love your style. Some people go for speed which is cool but I love that tight outlining of the harmony.
Man you're the best🔥🔥
I love your style of teaching sir Cecil. Simplified, 4-fret limit, not-so-crazy finger movements, very melodic and tasty riffs. Please make more of these format pls. Thanks in adv. Happy holidays!
Great video Cecil. Love the concept and the phrasing that you apply to your lines.
thanks for your practical advice! Can't wait to see you in the next video with Lazy Bird!
This is an amazing lesson! Thanks for sharing! Great playing!
There should be no less than 100 likes for your comment, but seeing that 1,600 people like this video almost restores my faith in mankind
I love this format - all you hear is music ... so while I’m reading, I’ve still got the sounds lingering in my echoic memory
Great lesson Cecil!!
You be smokin👍👍
Absolutely Fabulous!!!!!!!
Brilliant idea
Yea my dude this is a swinging enclosure with a triplet feel to the target 🎯 love it. Your 🚭
Wow so hip. Love it
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing , I’ve been struggling with adding language. I will try this approach
Thanks so much for this!
Great lesson thanks!
More concepts and vocabulary lessons please!
Great lesson.
Hello Cecil you re a wonderful musician. Could you explain the solo "chord melody" that you did in the semi final Please? that would be a thrill
Thanks for the tip Cecil, very helpful indeed.. #subscribed
Great ideas my friend
Great lesson. Lightbulb moment for me.
Yes...very nice
Go, C.A.!
Cecil, thanks for your video. Could you perhaps make a video on comping during your improv...like in a trio setting, or solo guitar. Id be interested in seeing your method.
X2
Thank you for sharing:)
ty so much
Love it
Very helpful, thank you for sharing. Visited your website and saw you were working on your first release, will it be your Organ Trio? :-)
Heard like 3 notes of that lick at the beginning and subscribed
It would be great to see this applied to rhythm changes.
Great idea!
@@cecilalexander8773 And Key Changes also?
@@orphaneduk5672 I got rhythm is a song
This is new to me. I got thrown by the line starting on the major seventh of the dominant chord. But it seems that the note you're targeting falls on the second strong beat with the quarter note in the example. Interesting.
Now all we need is a class to breakdown your breakdowns
Good stuff, man! Thanks! How 'bout Green Dolphin Street? Bought your last couple and workin' em. Lots of very practical stuff which lends itself to creativity. 🌟🙏😁
Yeah, man!
Please can you do well to make more guitar lessons on ideas of improvisation and right hand technique to a faster Guitar playing (speed)🙏🙏
Subscribed!
Your play and guitar tone is very nice! Could I know your guitar model?
100th like! What do I win?? ha great lesson & ideas thanks Cecil!
Очень классно! 🔥🔥🔥
Is there a pdf for this lesson, I didn’t see it in your site
hitting that enclosure for the Gb over a G7 felt so liberating.....
More Bebop tricks for tasty licks please!
Sounds great bud! Any chance of having tab? I’m one of those…
Micah 🏴
Amazing 🥂
Please i will love you make a video showing how to apply the lines to this tune 👉Shadows of your smile
Thanks men for this! Just amazing! I 'm becoming your fan! Is there a reason why you pick down, up and up? Just realized about it, and since you have an amazing technique, i guess there s nothing by mistake over there. Thanks again!
Thank you! That's not something I really think about in this context, just trying to make things fit in the grid and swing.
Cecil Alexander 🙏🏻thank you for your answer!
Do you have any lessons on your picking technique?
Not currently! Great idea though
Cecil Alexander do you pic like Benson
What kind of book can you refer us for bebop?
Woohooo
You say to start of each chord tone, and use a G7 as an example. but then you start each phrase on a series of notes, none of which are G, B, D or F. Am I missing something?
Should be "target a chord tone" rather than start from a chord tone
Burning!
Recorda me
Oh I see. Same lick On the root 3rd 5 and 7 . Oh Ok.
Instead of reading text, I wish you could do a voice over and talk to the camera. That would help alot.
So fast I can't catch up fos can you have a breakdown slowly of it
Rip the video or audio, and open it in one of many programs that allows you to half-time it without affecting pitch. Transcribe, use your ears and figure it out. If that's too hard to do, you're just not ready yet and that's totally fine too.
Yeah I did download it in break it down slowly thanks I got it keep it going sir
Can anyone recommend me bucnh of nasty guitar bebop players?
So... I recognize that as a guitar. And that’s where I hit the wall.
Friggin jazz.
🪡
Oh man break that down slower please.
