§ A different derivation of the bepop notes

§ Major C bebop

• In the key of C, first play the major 6th. This gives us C E G A.
• Now, play the notes that are in the scale but were not played, which gives us D F B.
• To make the semitone steps even, we add a Ab, which gives D (Eb E) F (F# G) Ab (A Bb) B.
• This gives us the bepop scale, which takes all the notes C E G A and adds the D F Ab B to it.

§ Harmonic Minor C bebop

• I don't know if this will work.
• The full harmonic minor scale is C D Eb F G Ab B.
• The sixth chord is C Eb G Ab.
• The notes in the scale that are not in the chord are D F B.
• To make the semitone steps even, we add E and Bb, which gives us D (Eb E) F (F# G) Ab (A Bb) B.
• Doesn't really change much?

§ Melodic Minor C bebop

• The full melodic minor scale is C D Eb F G Ab Bb.
• The sixth chord is C Eb G Ab.
• The notes in the scale that are not in the chord are D F Bb.
• No way to make the semitone steps even :(
