Description or summary of the book: (REH Publications).I feel like I've made some real progress in my bebop playing by studying these licks. When it comes to playing a lick, the more different ways you know to play it, the merrier - especially when you're on the stage having to come up with lick after lick!
Just be sure to also try different ways to play each lick yourself, because you may find another way better for you, or because you may have to play that lick in a different shape than that one way, due to your hand placement over the fretboard at the time. I haven't used the guitar tabs to this package to learn the licks, so can't comment directly on them, but I'm sure they're good. If you're a guitarist like me, be sure to learn each lick all over the fretboard - you want to be able to play each lick in different shapes and places, because when you're in the middle of a solo, you have to be able to effortlessly spell out a lick from wherever your hand happens to be on the board, you don't necessarily have time to reset (and taking time to reset your hand over the board means your brain strays from the solo line in your head, too). And like I said, you could learn half of that - 21 - and if you can play these licks across all the keys, you can solo to any jazz standard. I plan on learning all 84 licks eventually, but honestly I feel like I already have plenty of material with 42, so currently working on mastering these all over the fretboard (I'm playing guitar).

Some of the licks feel like variations of each other, and that gives you ideas on how to make your own licks from these licks. Some combos work better than others, of course, but that's where your own musical taste and creativity comes in. What that means is that you can take the first bar of one lick and connect it to the second bar of another lick. The licks are two bars, but pretty much most or all of them can easily be broken down into two one-bar licks. One thing I like about Nick's licks (and which tells me these licks are well-thought out) are that they are very easy to take apart and make them your own. which you wouldn't use in real life - all of Nick's 84 licks are solid, real, useful, cool, tasty licks you can use in actual performance.) (For example, unlike the Aebersold "II-V7-I Progression" book which has some really corny lines - like literally just basic arpeggios of the chords across the II-V-I. They are also just plain great licks - just check out the video to hear them (dig it)! I own other books with bebop licks (including the classics, like the Aebersold, Baker, etc.), but I think this package is the best of them for the sheer quality of the licks. just by mechanically memorizing even just a quarter of these 84 licks. You can learn a lot about how to construct your own bebop licks. In a word: AWESOME! These are authentic bebop licks - using all the classic bop techniques, like chromaticism, encirclement, arpeggiation, target notes, bebop scale, etc. NOW! :) (You'll be glad you did!)Īfter learning half of the 84 bebop licks on this download, I feel I can write an informed review of this product. If you want to play bebop jazz - just get it. Here is a playlist of videos of the licks This resource is guaranteed to keep you busy for months!
