G Bebop
G · A · B · C · D · E · F · F♯
The dominant bebop scale is G 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 G Bebop. Core jazz vocabulary, and best learned by playing it over a dominant seventh chord.
