Bebop scales.

[Mark Wilson]

I just need to check on a few of them to make sure they're right.

Dominant Bebop: 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7 7 8
Major Bebop: 1 2 3 4 5 #5 6 7 8
Jazz Minor Passing Tone (or Melodic Minor Bebop: 1 2 b3 4 5 #5 6 7 8

Am I right? Mostly, I'm not sure about the jazz minor P.T.

The Bebop minor add the major 3rd along with the minor 3rd.

I think you've got them all right there. What I've discovered is that there isn't one "right" way to play them. You can pretty much add the passing tone wherever you want to give the scale 8 notes, making sure that no "avoid" notes land on beats.

And definitely practice these starting on chord tones other that 1; that's when they start sounding the best, IMO.
