Bebop Tricks for Tasty Licks!
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 love your playing ❤
What is your guitar please ?
This is perhaps the greatest lesson (and playing) I've ever seen.
thanks for sharing!
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?
????
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
Your play and guitar tone is very nice! Could I know your guitar model?
ty so much
Thanks so much for this!
Absolutely Fabulous!!!!!!!
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.
Yeah! And the tone is insane.
Great video Cecil. Love the concept and the phrasing that you apply to your lines.
Excellent video, thank you so much! and beautiful playing too…
Man you're the best????????
You are the teacher! Thanks a million ????
Great lesson Cecil!!
You be smokin????????
Yes…very nice
Wow so hip. Love it
Woohooo
Now all we need is a class to breakdown your breakdowns
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.
Очень классно! ????????????
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 ????????????????????????????????????????????
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. ????????????
Mini ideas are cool but your vocabulary is awesome
Very cool concept and amazing playing!
Go, C.A.!
Thanks for sharing , I’ve been struggling with adding language. I will try this approach
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!
Very useful and fun concept. Great lines!
Huge thanks for the upload man, crazy how simple concepts become complex lines. Really helps visualize and hear these ideas way more.
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!
Heard like 3 notes of that lick at the beginning and subscribed
Sounds great bud! Any chance of having tab? I’m one of those…
Micah ????????????????????????????
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!
What kind of book can you refer us for bebop?
Oh I see. Same lick On the root 3rd 5 and 7 . Oh Ok.
Love your style. Some people go for speed which is cool but I love that tight outlining of the harmony.
Please can you do well to make more guitar lessons on ideas of improvisation and right hand technique to a faster Guitar playing (speed)????????
Amazing ????
Please i will love you make a video showing how to apply the lines to this tune ????Shadows of your smile
Thank you for sharing:)
Oh man break that down slower please.
Yea my dude this is a swinging enclosure with a triplet feel to the target ???? love it. Your ????
So… I recognize that as a guitar. And that’s where I hit the wall.
Friggin jazz.
What a fantastic lesson! Thank you Cecil.
So fast I can't catch up fos can you have a breakdown slowly of it
