Parker 101
Looking thru my library today I came across my transcripts of Charlie Parker Bebop fragments. This stuff is fun to play and I use them all the time. There are many and all are in the omnibook somewhere. I have handwriten notes from 1980 wow I love coming across old stuff like this. Brings back memories. Those were the days and my life was get on the bus get off the bus set up play tear down get on the bus get off the bus set up play tear down etc. I miss it but couldn't do that now. I'm lucky to get out of bed

Been there! And yes those certainly were the days. Also agree that doing such a thing now would end me. lol

When I was in the USAF band I would do jazz trio gigs at lunchtime for an hour and a half or so. Donna Lee, Cherokee and any bebop tunes with standards like Satin Doll or Summer Samba made up the set. Playing that music was a very good chop builder. When you do that stuff classic rock and anything else is a breeze.
Kenny have you ever attended a jazz music school?

I attended the school of hard knocks.
Does that make me a bad person?

sounds good . Hi Bill , I am mostly self taught . As I got older I was very lucky to have studied with guitar players and Jazz Musicians that were much better than myself . Incorporating Jazzy elements and techniques has broadened my playing in all the non jazz musical areas . In all honesty I'm glad that part of it all stuck conceptually in my guitar playing . It would take a lot of work on my part for me to play in a traditional Jazz Gig where it is only Standards being played ... At the height of my Jazz playing when I was primed , had the chops and was sharp . I was lucky if I could even get $ 40 bucks for a gig ...It wasn't about the money at all , it just seemed that no matter what I did I always felt as if I was climbing Mt Impossible with out a safety harness all the time ... talk more w you later in the PM . Kenny

Kenny - Have you checked out the Omnibook? It's the bebop bible It's fun stuff for me. I love just playing around with it. I use Sonar to practice this kind of stuff. Making backing tracks can teach as much as the licks you're working on. I'm no bapu so bass parts don't come easy and working one out to go with the licks I'm working on teaches much about function and song writing not to mention technique. The thing with bass playing is not sounding like a guitar player on bass. HARD to do for me  Same with the drum parts. I use my fingers for a basic rhythms Keyboard are worked out too. I don't use anything predone cuz there's too much to learn by doing myself. You don't need to do any of the that though. The fragment thing is what I am Am talking about Autumn Leaves was one of the tunes I used for this purpose cuz it used all the chords types and was great for exploring or jamming. I eventually exported and posted a recording of the tracks a while back based on the Miles Davis version of it.
