Recommended for its useful content and tongue-in-cheek humour:

"Git good lol."

**MarkRhodes** · 12-29-2015, 10:58 PM

Clever. "I am almost passing out from how good that sounds!" (From the second video.)

**Mr. Pocket** · 01-04-2016, 12:52 AM

I find these videos helpful

**Rob MacKillop** · 01-04-2016, 04:40 AM

Me too!

Yah know... I have been going through video two for the past few days. (yes.. days)

I like them.

The arpeggios lesson (number 3) is my favorite so far. How many of these are there?

**princeplanet** · 01-04-2016, 12:11 PM

Hilarious! Shouldn't there at least be #4 as well?

**MarkRhodes** · 01-04-2016, 12:20 PM

+1

Though didn't the early bop players use the term "b5"?

**mrcee** · 01-04-2016, 12:22 PM

Good stuff

I looked too! Maybe it's in the works. (Or just hasn't been uploaded to YouTube yet.)

I believe Simon Fransman is responsible for these. (I found a post from him on Facebook while searching for "Bebop for Noobs".) I invited him here. We'll see if he joins us...

While we await episode 4 (or #4), here's "Jazz Scatting for Noobs." (I'm away from my PC and have no sound just now, so I haven't heard this yet. I'm posting on trust!)

**MarkRhodes** · 01-04-2016, 02:22 PM

I replied to Simon's Facebook post and asked him---on behalf of the group here---if volume 4 will be called "#4" and he said, "It will now!" Who says no one listens to jazz guitarists anymore? ;o)

**Melodic Dreamer** · 01-04-2016, 03:06 PM

I actually enjoyed those a lot.
some useful stuff.

that one is not as helpful.

**MarkRhodes** · 01-04-2016, 03:36 PM

No, "Jazz Scatting for Noobs" is not the success the others are. Perhaps that was an earlier effort before our hero found himself....

**dingusmingus** · 01-04-2016, 03:36 PM

He's the same guy who sends these hilarious and disturbing videos to Jam of the Week on Facebook:

**SimonFransman** · 01-04-2016, 07:40 PM

Hey! I'm really glad you guys like the videos!

The fourth one is in the works, it'll be out in the near future.

This one was more of a joke bonus lesson for my 1000 sub celebration

Not terribly informative.
