Bebop Your Blues - Jazzy I to IV Transition Lick
Added 2020-06-07 17:56:25 +0000 UTCHello friends,
welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lick of the week tutorial! In today's session we'll be examining a jazzy I to IV transition lick in the key of B major. Studying this useful phrase will reveal essential jazz lead techniques including:
β’ The minor second (upper neighbor) root note substitution.
β’ Chromatic walkups to chord tones.
β’ Chord arpeggiation.
β’ Rest stroke picking technique.
Tablature:
In this example, we see how our lick of the week can be applied to a standard jazz-blues chord progression. In this case, it's being used as a transition between the I chord B7 and the IV chord E9.
