A Bebop
A · B · C♯ · D · E · F♯ · G · G♯
The dominant bebop scale is A Mixolydian with an extra major seventh added as a chromatic passing note, making eight notes in total. That extra note is what keeps the chord tones landing on strong beats when you run the scale in eighths — the whole point of A Bebop. Core jazz vocabulary, and best learned by playing it over a dominant seventh chord.
