Charlie Parker Blues Lick - Robert's 2 Minute Lessons (13)

Charlie Parker (nickname Bird) was a fantastic saxophone player. I love transcribing his ideas, because they were very melodic and bluesy. He had an incredible sense of time and was a sophisticated musician.

In this lesson, you will learn a typical Charlie Parker lick, and he often played this lick. Listen to Now's The Time, for example.

When you are ready to learn with me:

Good explanation of a typical jazz sound. It helped me de-mystify jazz (which I always assumed was too complex (over my head) to play)
