0:03.9	Sorry?
0:04.9	That's bebop, baby.
0:05.9	Hey.
0:20.2	I'm Adam Manus. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the You'll Hear It Podcast. Daily Jazz Advice coming at you. Coming at me is a bunch of bebop shouting. Well, I like to call that bebop singing, but thank you. Because we're talking about the bebop scale today, because we have a question for one of our lovely listeners. And so I was just getting in the mood, baby. Lovely listeners. This is from lovely Elias. All right. Yeah, let's hear. Hey, Peter and Adam. It's Elias. I have a question for you guys about bebop scales. How important are bebop scales to practicing, you know, and the principle of lining up the chord tones with the strong beats of the bar.
0:56.0	It's not something that Peter stresses a whole lot in the jazz piano method. It comes up in the
1:00.3	elements of jazz piano course, but when I do transcription of great players, it's not always
1:06.7	the case that the strong beats of the bar are lining up with the chord tones of the change.
1:12.6	And for me at least, it's like way too much to try to keep in mind when I'm improvising.

1:40.3	it so far. That's good. Keep us on our toes. He can turn it any minute. He can turn it any minute.
1:45.8	And I like, he's kind of bringing up a little bit of controversy there in that there might be some discrepancies in our, in general in the jazz world in our, you know, hither to, hitherto, you know, jazz theory being kind of soundproof in saying that there's that discrepancy
2:03.8	between the actual practice and the usage and the application of this sort of concept.
2:08.1	But this is true for almost all jazz theory.
2:10.2	And I think quote unquote bebop scales are another one of these things that I don't think
2:15.7	it's like super universal.
2:19.2	Yeah.
2:20.2	Especially not for real players.
