Welcome to episode 10 in which I teach you a 1 chorus solo over Bird Blues. 

Bird blues is one of the most challenging jazz blues forms to improvise over. 

Bird Blues refers to a generic set of chord changes that is made popular by Charlie Parker's composition Blues For Alice. 

I aim to give you a quick start into improvising over this tune by teaching you a 1 chorus solo in less than ten minutes. 

By studying this solo you will learn: 

1. How to use and adapt the theme in a solo

2. Long bebop lines 

3. Diminished patterns
