Jazz Etude #4By

Per Danielsson

Bebop Scales

There are three different Bebop scales, Dorian Bebop, Mixolydian Bebop and Major Bebop.Each one of these scales consists of eight notes due to an added half step. Because of that extra halfstep the scale becomes more chromatic which also makes it naturally melodic. These scales fitstrongly over the changes and their use results in a more “Bebopish” sound. They are especiallymelodic when played descending.

Mixolydian Bebop differs from the regular Mixolydian in that it has an extra note between the rootand the flatted seventh scale degree. This chromatic part of the scale is very strong when played overa dominant seventh chord.

Major Bebop is played against a Major chord. It has an extra note between the fifth and the sixthscale degree.

Dorian Bebop has an added note between the minor third and the fourth scale degree. In a ii-V-Iprogression the Dorian Bebop and the Mixolydian Bebop are the same scale but with a differentstarting note.
