Improvise with the bebop scale!

Christiaan's Violin Ramblings 5: The bebop scale
This video serves as both episode five in my "Christiaan's Violin Ramblings" series as well as an introduction video for my violin workshop at DjangoFest NW called "Violin Workshop 2: Gypsy Jazz Improvisation".
I discuss how to get fluent improvising with the bebop scale by combining the essence of the scale with arpeggios that sound nice on a C7 chord.

From wikipedia: The bebop dominant scale is derived from the Mixolydian mode and has a chromatic passing tone between the 7th and the root. It has all the notes in both the major scale and the Mixolydian scale of the same root. This scale is often used over dominant 7th chords and all extended dominant chords,[2] and the ii V chord progressions. "When someone says they're playing 'the bebop scale,' this is the one they're talking about."[2]

Wikipedia is not a good source of information. There is much more to it than that; and the 'so called bebop dominant scale' is not derived from the mixolydian mode. If so this is what you are saying. Play the major scale and Mixolydian mode from the same key note (in this case the fifth of the scale) and add the same letter names together to get chromatic music based on the 7th and b7th. But then you could say why thoes two particular scales? why not the mixolydian and 2nd degree of the scale as major? This would bring in both the 7th and b5 against the prevailing key - and you could continue this argument through all the notes of the scale. Just sounds totally implausible to me which is what I would expect from wikipedia.

Thank you!

[@RCMasterCS]

Just GREAT, thanks a lot !
Can you make a video who show the best left hand position / how to improve the fingers intonation ( I have a good ear and I train a lot but my intonation is so random... i don't have a fixed left hand position who work 100 percent everytime... thanks a lot bro !! )

Great video. I thought C7 was just C7, you’ve freed my mind!! Can I find this written down somewhere as a practice regime? As in ‘Put on a C7 backing track. Improvise using Gm6, then A major flat9, then Gm maj7, then with bebop c-b-bflat.’ Today C7 tomorrow the next chord.

[@rasheedb4]

Could you do a video on efficient practice with violin context?
