Here's a Chet Baker lick in all 12 keys from his version of Autumn Leaves coming up
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ Chet Baker purveyor of the cool sound from the 50s and 60s
This guy had everything man.
He had the looks he had the sound he could do some acting
Even though he did all these drugs.
He still was able to
Maintain somewhat of a career throughout his entire life, which tragically ended early.
I have a story about Chet Baker
I went to go see him in Saratoga, California
probably in the 80s and
I was so excited.
It was like, you know seeing one of your heroes and
I went to the gig and there were eight people at this gig and I couldn't believe it
Even the bass player showed up 20 minutes late or 45 minutes late something like that
Anyway, I got to see Chet Baker and he played great
Chet Baker has this cool wispy sound.
It's very delicate delicate attacks _
If you're getting into improvisation
He would be a good place to start if you're doing some transcribing
In fact, this tune autumn leaves would be a great place to start at any rate.
Let's get right into it
_ [D] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ That's it.
So a lot of what he plays is _ _
Very in the pocket he swings and it's there's I don't want to say simple
But they're very melodic
They're very musical and it's a good place to start if you're gonna play licks in all 12 keys to advance your jazz
vocabulary, so the other thing you can do is
_ Once you learn all these licks you notice that well a lot of it is based off of the harmonic minor scale
So this particular lick that I played is in G minor so if we take the G minor
_ Excuse me harmonic minor scale _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ [C] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ I've downloaded a play along on YouTube and I've got it
I believe the minor two five one chord progression at a hundred beats per
Minute and a hundred twenty beats per minute
So choose whichever tempo you're comfortable with and start experimenting with harmonic minor scales
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ You can just start
Experimenting by using this harmonic minor scale or one scale over the entire two five one lick
