Lick Information

This Charlie Parker lick uses the F Bebop Dominant scale. This 8 notes scale gives you the ability to play chord tones on all downbeats.

Sound settings

Use the neck pickup and cut the high freqs with the tone knob if necessary.
I use the Mesa Boogie V-Twin preamp on the clean channel connected directly to the sound card. Finally I add a little reverb and compression in Pro Tools.

Scales and Theory

The Bebop Dominant Scale is basically a Mixolydian mode with an extra note : a natural 7th.
It's a dominant scale and has the same function in a key as the Mixolydian scale : here over the F7 chord.
