"So now we're going to walk G major Bebop scale. How we do that is we add in another note so it becomes a eight note scale. You can add in any of these dots on the sheet that you printed out and added into today. Or you can just add in a chromatic note in the pattern. So like say here instead of, let?s go, so I'm going to add in my pinkie here on this off fret. Now I can walk the scale for days. Cause it offsets so I'm on G on the down beat one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one. As before it was 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. See I got to it on four. Have to get to it on one. By adding in a chromatic note we can get to where we're going and it makes everything sound smooth.
