About the G Bebop ii V scale
G 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 G, A, B, C, C♯, D, E, F, and F♯. The formula is W W H H H W H H H.
An unfretted guitar already sounds E, A, D, G, and B from the scale. On guitar, the deepest G within reach is the 3rd fret of the low E string. The first three frets carry a complete octave of G Bebop ii V, a genuine open-position shape.
