title: Bebop Scales: Jazz Scales and Patterns in All 12 Keys
author:  Joe Riposo 
description: By simply adding one chromatic note, you can convert the most commonly used scales into Bebop scales. Bebop scales almost magically turn scales into "lines", adding melodic flow and logical forward motion to your solos. This makes hitting those "target notes" much easier and facilitates the seamless connection of one chord to another. The one added note makes all the difference! Now author Joe Riposo brings you a clear and concise method for hearing, understanding, and practicing this essential improv tool. Joe's simple practice method utilizes the Bebop Scales in all 12 keys for: Major Scales; Minor (Dorian) Scales; Mixolydian (Dominant 7th) Scales; Locrian (Half-Diminished) scales. Practical exercises demonstrate the melodic concept of "forward motion" created by using the 1/2 step method.
