Bebop Scales V (Substitutions) Pete Sklaroff

In this final part of the series on Bebop scales, I've listed some substitutions that are possible with the various BeBop scale modes
etc. There are many more than this, but here are some of the ones that I particularly like to employ in my own playing. I've also added
a new BeBop scale drawn from the V mode of the Harmonic Minor scale (sometimes called the Phrygian Dominant Scale/Mode)
It works well over Dominant 7b9 chords.

(D Mixolydian BeBop Scale over Cmaj7) (E Phyrgian BeBop Scale over Cmaj7)
