Here’s a very fun bebop lick over a ii -V-i in a minor key.  I teach you how to play every note on there and break it down for you.

This lick is not just for jazz piano though.  This lick will sound great on guitar, saxophone, and trumpet as well.

    Cool lick. Thanks! As a general guideline, do you recommend doing licks in all keys?

    Hi. Where is the score? Or do I have to remember as it’s played? For EVERY LESSON?
