I am 83 yr old and have ben playing all my life starting at age 6 for the first time in my life improvising with knowledge is coming to light 💡 thanks 🙏 so much keep up the good work 👍😎

[@poser_skateboarder889]

Wow that’s really cool that you kept up with it for so long!

[@ChrisWoodsViolin]

I’m on a ChadLB deep dive, I’m watching all the vids, downloaded some of the PDFs, and am practicing a lot (obsessively as I tend to do when I find illuminating material to work with). I really really really enjoy Chad’s way of explaining concepts and condensing the material into digestible chunks.

[@landalin2102]

I gotta say, I was just re-watching your video "Can't Improvise Phrases That Sound Good? 5 Ways To Fix That" and this video couldn't have been more perfectly timed. Seems like the perfect partner video. Either way, thanks for all the free incredibly useful material. Found your channel a little bit before COVID hit and its been an incredible source of both inspiration and material for practicing!

[@denn5431]

I love Mike Brecker and Rollins.

[@karenpatel1880]

Thanks for a great lesson and ideas.Each time I watch your videos I am inspired to practice the techniques you share here.Pdf next.

안녕하세요 훌륭한 연주 잘 들었습니다 즐거운 시간 되시길 바랍니다

[@douglaslane6912]

Thank you for such great content, Chad! It's made a huge difference in my playing.

[@russelljazzbeck]

Some of these lessons are exactly like the ones in Hal Galper's Forward Motion. Seems like perfect complement to that material! Had to pick this pdf up.

[@robstevens9590]

Thanks for continuing to share so many jewels.

[@kenbeattie2584]

Thanks for yet another eye-opening tutorial, I am already working on the "voice leading" package and this video really helps explain the principles of it. Some great content to work on.

[@gitarmats]

Thanks for all the videos, Chad!

This kid's mom had a saxophone in her womb when he was born. He's way too good for 32 years old. You can tell there's no offense meant here Chad

[@michaelstevens8]

Let's keep in mind that even though he's 32, he's been playing since he was 9. He got a good start from his father who is a Music Teacher and Multi-instrumentalist.

[@brickboo1]

@UCDlLoyWNiV01QM0YtKBb_xA I started when I was 13 and I was not any where near this good by 40 which is about the same amount of time. My dad was a bricklayer. I learned in high school. I couldn't afford a dollar an hour for a music lesson and I just made it listening to Fats Domino's sax players and Ray Charles' sax players. I could do a lot of that R&R, but no real Bebop. I can do ballads well and improvise, and I can do bouncy tunes and improvise, but I can't play nowhere near the tempo these guys play. It makes me want to take my sax out in the front and fill my truck up with sand and run over it hahaha! I'm an old guy. I'm 81 years old.

[@michaelstevens8]

@@brickboo1 The reason why he is so good at just 32 isn't the number of years he's been playing. It's because of What he practiced and How he practiced during those years. Theirs also the debate of Natural Talent. But theirs something more important here. Sometimes the worst thing a musician can do is to compare themselves to another musician. I've been down that road. DONT DO IT. Just be the best Boo Hargis you can be. You don't have to play like Webster, Hawkins, Young, Parker, Coltrane, Breaker, Potter or Chad LB. Let them be them and you be you Boo.

[@floridaguy1955]

@@michaelstevens8 Excellent comment. My best advice is be the best player you can be, learn from those more experienced than you are and help those with less experience than you have.

[@michaelstevens8]

@@floridaguy1955 You're absolutely right Superdoc.

[@geniodiez7432]

Thanks , brother ! That’s really brilliant! That will help me a lot !

[@BarbaraSUIGOSpeaker]

Bravissimo!

[@froogmaster7869]

hey Chad could you do a video on how to build up being able to comfortably play in other keys, I can on piano but I struggle with this on sax

[@russelljazzbeck]

I noticed some nice variations in your 27 Blues Etudes pdf that could be great examples.

[@gregfagan38]

nice notes there. "line construction exercises" - Essentially, take a phrase (which is something already done before?) and alter it. First "break down." - an "enclosure" diatonic notes except a #4 (I call diminished) - Back to enclosures - Can somebody define an "Enclosure" so I can follow along? We've got "fill in" exercises. Fill in proper scale to go along with the right chord. Metronome suggestions - what's next? Section II of this PDF. Pick a solid rhythm, play a single chord, "Quarter tone vs. Melodic Phrase" - Cycle of 4ths after you play around with the single chord. Add background bass, keys and drums, and go through some chord changes. Most used exercises in the practice. Apply a rhythm pattern to any standard and force yourself to reach for the right notes and be "chained" for the purpose of note explorations. From an "ear" it just sounds like diminished runs and minor 6th. The fourth exercise? If you have a cool like, run that like chromatically. It's a great way to help you improvise your own lines up through the "model system." Last section? Voice leading fill in exercises. The most important part of a line when you are going through changes is from end of measure to the beginning of a new measure. So, a 2-5-1, check out the fill in exercises where the "voice lead in grid" becomes laid out for you. Voice leading exercises. Playing continuous 8th notes is good to do.

[@Osnosis]

An enclosure is 2, or more, notes that are above and below the ‘target’ note. They can be chromatic, one chromatic and one diatonic, two of both, or a mix. Learning these is critical.
