			CHRISTMAS LESSON.
			It's Christmas! To celebrate the occasion, I decided to work on the ending section of my version of Silent night. The section should inspire you to create some bluesy bebop lines over the Mixolydian mode.

It's Christmas, and for the occasion I decided to take a section of an arrangement of silent night I wrote to share some of my favorite bluesy bebop licks. 

We'll be working mostly in the key of A Mixolydian, however make sure to follow the chords as there are a few surprises in there. Also, while improvising, give a swing to your rhythm to achieve the proper effect. Listening to the backing track should help you in that matter. 

Have fun!
