Squeebop - Steve Wilson

Please provide more information.
I am unable to locate any reference to a tune with that name.
Also, if you could include a link to either an audio file or YouTube, your chord chart would have some context for others.

Thank you for sharing your chart

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the reply.

Squeebop is an original tune composed by my jazz teacher at Cabrillo College in Aptos, CA.

There are a bunch of us in his current improv class where we are learning this song - amongst others. Most of us rely on iReal Pro to practice and I'm trying to make it easy of my fellow students to do so.

Yes, there are no recordings of this song out there. So if that is a hard requirement, then I understand that we can't proceed. Perhaps when we do our end of semester performance I'll upload it to YouTube and try again.

If any of this context helps you publish, I know that Steve and the less-savvy students in my class will really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Omi

Hi Omi,

Thanks for the added info.

We’re delighted you and your classmates find iRp useful in your studies and practicing.
(That’s part of our mission)

Original songs and chord charts are welcome here. All songs were “original” and unfamiliar at some point.

Without access to a melody track of some sort, there’s no context for others to learn this “new” tune (in the great aural tradition).

Sure, we can experiment with the middle (fantasia) section of the jazz form over the chords, but without the first part (statement) we’re just guessing what to do in the final part (restatement)…

and as you know, improv derived from scales and arpeggios instead of melody sounds like, well, scales and arpeggios…

So, for the benefit of *everyone* please provide the necessary missing context for this new tune when you can.

Here’s your chart edited to be more readable.
I also corrected the default key to F.
