Wow! Your Bebop Anacrusis lesson contains some wonderful observations and conclusions! Thank you for doing all of the work to put this useful lesson together.

You mentioned wanting to look at Diz's recordings before he played with Bird to determine whether Diz used any of these anacrusis ideas before playing with Bird. I would certainly be interested in hearing and reading about your conclusions; however, it seems to be possible that these ideas arose during the initial bebop sessions as a result of the interactions among Bird, Diz, and a few other early bebop musicians. I might be totally misinformed, but I seem to remember hearing that bebop developed during regular post-gig sessions that probably began after 2:00 A.M. and possibly lasted until sunrise. Should this idea regarding the origin of bebop accurately describe what often happened, many bebop ideas might well have been born during post-gig jam sessions, where a tight group of bebop buddies competed AND worked together to invent and play ultra-fast bebop ideas. In this case, it might be difficult to determine who invented what, and many ideas might have slowly developed through the act of playing together. Would Bird have been the Bird that we know without Diz? Diz was certainly a master of technique, but would he have ever developed into the Diz that we know without Bird? Being men, we often value hard individual work and competition, but being musicians, we also experience the wonders of playing together and merging into one group with one sound and one musical experience.

What a great lesson Richie, so in-depth, with all the theory, yet so relatable and applicable. As I was telling you once during a 1-1 lesson, while listening to a "Bebop Essentials" playlist, this device repeated numerous times, till the rhythm and contour stuck in my head, but never took the time to transcribe any, to understand them and to see how they work, now I do. Talking about 1-1 lessons, hope to see you this week!

As usual, I have enjoyed and truly appreciate what you give us all. However, my bottom line is that jazz may be as repetitive and structuraly boring as any other music ( or even more). Thanks in any case.

Thanks for another great lesson Richie. I so admire the work you put into making these videos/lessons. We all missed seeing/hearing you last Saturday!

Yes, it is an eye opening lesson, at least for me. Thank you.

Excellent

What an awesome lesson. I've been using this in my playing for ages but I never knew it was called a Bebop Anacrusis. Richie, thanks too for sharing your research and insight with all the aspiring jazz guitarists on the planet.

Just like a painter with his primary colors.
