Bebop Scale – The Secret Ingredient of Jazz Lines The Bebop Scale is a variation of the major or dominant scale, created by adding one chromatic passing tone. This small change adds a smooth “swing” feel that’s perfect for jazz phrasing and melodic flow. This scale helps you land chord tones on the beat and gives that classic jazz flavor in your solos. Ideal for improvisation over dominant 7th chords. Perfect for guitarists wanting to explore smoother, more melodic jazz runs! Lesson: Introductio
