Measures 9 - 12 for Bebop Piano Improvisation in C

Now we're going to go over our last four measures. And we have a nice easy D minor to a G seven here. That's easy, those are the first two chords we learned, right? G seven and then we have that E alt half diminished to the A seven and then a D, G. And that's called a three-six-two-five. Where we're going in the key of C right? C, D, E, there's three. C, D, E, F, G, A, there's six. C, D, there's your two. And C, D, E, F, G, five. So a three-six-two-five. So again as you look at my hands we have the D minor, G seven, E half diminished, A altered, D minor, G seven. So some nice simple voicings that you can use through an entire Bebop Blues and it really gets your fingers going. And we just utilize a couple different scales. And we're going to go over and play through the whole thing with a little improv in just a minute.
