About the F sharp Bebop ii V scale
F sharp Bebop ii V is used for bebop solos over two-five-one progressions. Think of it as a dense nine-note bebop scale that covers a whole two-five.
Its notes are F♯, G♯, A♯, B, B♯, C♯, D♯, E, and E♯. The formula is W W H H H W H H H.
An unfretted guitar already sounds E and B from this scale. A guitarist finds the lowest F♯ at the 2nd fret of the low E string. A capo at the second fret brings F♯ Bebop ii V within reach of E-shape fingerings.
