What is the best way to solo over Billie's Bounce and Yardbird Suite (Charlie Parker)?

Please explain somewhat simply? Thanks =)


Billie's Bounce is a blues. Just use the blues scale.

Yardbird Suite is much more challenging than Billie's Bounce. You'll need to learn some music theory and all your scales and arpeggios in order to solo over Yardbird Suite.

March 13, 1965: Eric Clapton Quits The Yardbirds

Forty-seven years ago today, guitarist Eric Clapton quit The Yardbirds. It's one of the best things that ever happened, period.

Clapton, a self-declared blues purist, thought the band -- which included singer Keith Relf, guitarist Chris Dreja, bassist Paul Samwell-Smith and drummer Jim McCarty -- was getting too commercial. And so, after playing on their most commercial song to date (and their first hit), "For Your Love," Clapton was gone.

This move was great for:

The Yardbirds : Without Mr. Stick In The Mud, they were able to evolve, freely, into a successful B-Level British rock band. The Clapton-free version of the band enjoyed a string of hits, including "Heart Full of Soul," "I'm a Man" and "Over Under Sideways Down." They also got a lot more creative and experimental, eventually evolving into the band that would eventually evolve into Led Zeppelin.

Jeff Beck : Although he was getting noticed with his blues band, The Tridents, Beck's upward trajectory didn't start until he replaced Clapton in The Yardbirds in 1965. His brief solos were fuzz-drenched mini-masterpieces, making him a bona fide guitar god and eventually giving him the nerve and justification to quit the band and go solo, eventually becoming the revered "guitarist's guitarist" he is today.
