Soloing on Scrapple From the Apple- Introduction
Soloing on Tunes • 4m 37s
I wanted to create a lesson that deals with some common bop style components using a chord progression that was not overly complex, so naturally Charlie Parker's Scrapple From the Apple came to mind. In this lesson we'll cover the basics of the chords, but we'll also get into a number of harmonic devices used by the great bop players including the use of bebop scales, neighboring tones, and chromatic enclosures. And there's a video showing you how to begin playing double-time!
