When you play a 7-note scale, certain chord tones fall on down and upbeats. Most would prefer that important chord tones fall on downbeats (strong beats) and passing &#8211; <em>or non-chord <\/em>&#8211; tones fall on upbeats (weak beats).<\/p>\n<p>With 8-note bebop scales, when the scale is begun on a chord tone and on the downbeat, all other chord tones will also fall on downbeats, with the remaining tones in the scale occurring on the upbeat. <\/p>\n<h2>Bebop Scales Explained &#8211; Bebop Dominant Scale<\/h2>\n<p>This scale is derived from the mixolydian mode and has an added tone between the 7th and the root.<\/p>\n<p>Explanation of modes are beyond this lesson but we&#8217;ve done plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/the-secret-to-modes\">lessons<\/a> on them.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s an easy way to remember the mixolydian mode. It&#8217;s just a major scale with the 7th tone lowered a half step.<\/p>\n<p>So, if this is our C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" alt=\"bebop scales c major example\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\nC D E F G A B C<\/p>\n<p>Lowering the B to Bb gives us our C mixolydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,F,G,A,Bb,C&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" alt=\"bebop scale c mixolydian\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\nC D E F G A Bb C<\/p>\n<p>The bebop dominant scale uses this mixolydian scale as its starting point.<\/p>\n<p>It then <em>adds<\/em> back in the tone between the b7th and the root (which is the major 7th we originally started with).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,F,G,A,Bb,B,C&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" alt=\"C bebop dominant scale\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\nC D E F G A Bb B C<\/p>\n<p>So, you can <em>sort of<\/em> think of this as the major scale with both the major 7th and the dominant 7th included. I say &#8220;sort of&#8221; because emphasis should be on the dominant 7th (aka &#8211; the &#8220;b7&#8221;). The &#8220;Bb&#8221; in this case is here to stay. It&#8217;s the &#8220;B&#8221; we&#8217;ve added and not the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>This scale is commonly played over any type of dominant chord (7th, 9th, 11th, 13th) and works well over 2-5-1 progressions. It is the most famous and commonly used of the bebop scales.<\/p>\n<h2>Bebop Scales Explained &#8211; Bebop Dorian Scale<\/h2>\n<p>Also known as the &#8220;bebop minor scale,&#8221; it is derived from the Dorian mode and has an added note between the minor 3rd and the perfect fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I talk about modes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/the-secret-to-modes\">this post<\/a> and others, but the Dorian mode is constructed by starting and ending on the 2nd tone of a major scale.<\/p>\n<p>This naturally gives you a minor scale but with a raised 6th tone.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the 2nd tone of C major is &#8220;D.&#8221; Simply play the C major scale from &#8220;D&#8221; to &#8220;D&#8221; and you get:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" alt=\"bebop scales D dorian\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\nD E F G A B C D<\/p>\n<p>Now, compare this to a D natural minor scale:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,E,F,G,A,Bb,C,D&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" alt=\"bebop scales D natural minor\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\nD E F G A Bb C D<\/p>\n<p>So the Bb in the natural minor scale is raised to B in the dorian mode. That&#8217;s the difference.<\/p>\n<p>With the bebop dorian scale, we are adding a note between the b3 and 4th degree.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,E,F,Fs,G,A,B,C,D&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" alt=\"D dorian bebop scale\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\nD E F F# G A B C D<\/p>\n<p>It essentially has the b3 and the major 3 in there.<\/p>\n<p>This scale can work well over minor and altered chords.<\/p>\n<h2>Bebop Scales Explained &#8211; Bebop Harmonic Minor Scale<\/h2>\n<p>While we won&#8217;t cover how to form the harmonic minor scale in this post, you can check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/the-secret-to-playing-harmonic-minor-scales\">past lesson here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s essentially a minor scale with a raised 7th degree.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,B,C&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" alt=\"bebop scales C harmonic minor\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\nC D Eb F G Ab B C<\/p>\n<p>Compare this to the C natural minor scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C&amp;color=FFFF66&amp;size=2\" alt=\"bebop scales C natural minor\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\nC D Eb F G Ab Bb C<\/p>\n<p>Natural minor has Bb.
