[@madyeti3224]

Dude.. Chaz Rocks!!

[@chriskaercher5201]

Stoked to hear from your Bro Chaz🎷🤣 Thanks 🙏

[@chokolattecoffee]

After playing decades of classical piano scales I find this approach refreshing. Makes your brain work differently. And suddenly now I understand those bebop motifs better. Thanks!

[@DaMonster]

These videos are the best because they’re not too long, have actually usable exercises, and fantastic examples of what correct usage sounds like

[@georgehiggins1320]

If anyone wants another way to think of the first exercise, the first five notes of each 8-note cell are 12354 of whatever mode you're on, and the last three are just an enclosure starting a whole-tone above the target note of your next 8-note cell.

[@georgehiggins1320]

The descending version is exactly the same, but it's 12312 instead of 12354.

[@mthandazobaleni6906]

Hola bro George thank you. This makes it more clear. You are like a teacher to me explaining the inside of a book

[@georgehiggins1320]

@@mthandazobaleni6906 Absolutely brother, happy practicing!

[@lucasbohn5707]

awesome material, man! Best wishes from Brazil.

[@georgehiggins1320]

First saw this video recently after it came out and I can confirm that the first exercise has indeed stuck with me and strongly influenced how I think about enclosures. One might say it changed my life. I've been working on a variation of the exercise with triplets instead of eighths/sixteenths and it has definitely been making the construction of triplet lines MUCH easier!

[@SamChaneyProductions]

I was pretty confused by the diagram at 6:00 because he combines two separate actions into one. You're not going down two half steps. You're going down a single half step twice. It's confusing because he represents this with a single red line but it should be two separate lines

[@joancarles9643]

Thank you Master!!!

[@jasminesmith7577]

Seriously, thanks for all this info, super helpful!

[@SRHMusic012]

Chad, great opening. I was just saying I'm so tired of the endless YT ads that start asking how frustrated you are as a musician (and one was just before this video!). Keep up the great work in sharing good things to work on with us.

[@spencersivco8503]

Clear. Concise. Helpful. Thanks!

[@mthandazobaleni6906]

The real eye opener. This is actually the first time I start to understand your teaching

[@antoniotraverso6462]

Great Chaz .

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Excellent presentation showing how enclosures and chromaticism work for everyone!

[@riccastellanos]

This information and your great teaching is like finding gold !! Now back to practricing it. Thank you !

[@darrelfrancisco2941]

Your workshops are really amazing

[@Yasherdooble]

Chads videos just don't stop getting better

[@SickFX1]

That opening cracked me up!! As guitar player, your videos have changed my mind. Always great stuff. Thnx for what you do man!

[@Oi-mj6dv]

The intro is goated man lmaaaaao

[@robertgannon2586]

Great!

[@CharWorld-bm6di]

I LOVED the INTRO!

[@ThomasW280]

Intro gives me Saxologic vibes

[@josiahanunike2376]

Same🤣🤣🤣

[@josiahanunike2376]

How he would say: Yessir🤣🤣🤣

[@georgianamurray802]

Phrase 2 should be B natural 3rd note from the end (enclosure). Love your videos

[@vahpr]

Saw exercise 1 on your 10 warm ups video, it's harder than I thought it'd be on trombone, especially in the lower register :) Thanks for all the excellent stuff you share freely!

[@thomascarter8833]

Bro you described my current dilemma perfectly at the beginning. This is so helpful

[@michaelroach4219]

Thank you Chazz's brother.Time to go practice.

[@linopiccolo4148]

Molto molto interessanti, grazie

[@hyrumbaird3950]

Just what I needed

[@nicocolucci1404]

Love it man. You are an inspiration.

[@DaDarkGuy]

Is your brother Chaz giving private lessons right now? He seems to know what he's talking about.

[@connietindell3134]

Great video!

Thanks for making content that seems mysterious so clear. Now I just have to practice...

[@carlosmenesesjazz]

Thanks 4 another great video!

[@neilclappguitar]

Thank you Chad. You are a thorough and talented educator as well as a bad ass player! I appreciate your easy and laid back style as well. I know how difficult it is to convey information in a sequential, musical and meaningful way from putting together content myself. It’s really generous of you to share some of your knowledge and musical approach with the KZbin audience. Hope your classes fill up quickly :)

[@roshanguitar]

lovely

[@lhuecrars]

Da Encloblues yeah!

[@iansaxmusic]

Sounding great as always

[@jongoforth1405]

Well...once again you've hit the nail on the head. Just signed up for lessons. There's a metric ton of info just in this video, Chad. Thank you for your generosity! To any improvisor, working on * just these three things* will really help a lot. Looking forward to working with you, Mr. LB.

[@nkuthalomampofu6078]

Super intro..

[@xaviergonzalez8933]

Fire intro 🔥🔥🙊🙊

[@jameshoward2768]

[@elguapo4014]

😂 Right on man!! Nuttin wrong with a lil humor as we learn!! Great stuff man!

[@velvetknight780]

Chaz was AWSOME! LOL

[@crazychessy6499]

The intro is the best part

[@reuven8815]

Awesome, as usual, + Action!

[@SamChaneyProductions]

Here's how I would explain the first exercise. Starting at each scale degree you do a diatonic 12354 of the chord tones, then you do a 4-note chromatic surround of the next scale degree up

[@jimcurrie]

You sound like a pro. Let me know if you have any music for E flat alto saxophone.

[@cyrilb.9174]

Hi Chad, really awesome material as always ! Your videos have helped me improve so much, thanks again! A few ideas for topics that I think you might have not covered yet: You've covered diminished scales quite a bit, but how about a video on: Altered scales vs. diminished and how / why you'd use one vs. the other ? How to improve your sound (long tones, overtones ,etc.) ?

[@Oz1Muzyk]

Excellent Video Sir! The Intro is almost misleading - It's a good thing I've learned through the years never to judge a book by looking at the cover lol. Thanks again for sharing this Sir.

[@geoffstockton]

I’d buy protein mixes and vitamin supplements from Chazz LB.

[@Jazman0959]

Good stuff ! Thank you!

[@howardmiller5097]

Chad, love these exercises. I once saw an exercise I think you created where you arpeggiate chords to various songs like "All the Things 'That" Are." Can you tell me where I can buy those lessons?

[@matthewyu1987]

Chaz should be in more vids

[@marcelloestemiele]

thank you

[@Osnosis]

Chad’s PDF books for these are 10 Warmup Exercises for Jazz Musicians and 15 Approach Note Exercises.

[@papitoredmusic1]

🤣LOL, Great intro! Great sound!

[@neight6154]

Was that Freddie Hubbard playing the licc on Bolivia at the beginning?

[@seanwintersax]

Chad's Beard game is on point.

[@glencunningham5400]

On the Phrase Workout I think it sounds better to enclose the final Bb with D Db C A Bb rather than D C B A Bb. That way you get a scale tone (C) on the down beat, rather than a b9 (cool over a dominant chord, but not as good with a Maj7?). The full phrase would thus have scale tones on every down beat: Bb G F Eb D C Bb = 1 6 5 4 3 2 1. To my ears that sounds better over the major chord than the phrase shown which has these notes on the downbeats: 1 6 5 4 3 b9 1.

[@dangreen3145]

Hey chad, what mouthpiece are you using here?

[@AaronHedenstromMusic]

Amazing intro!!! Hilarious!

[@michamarkuszewski4546]

[@mikeyoung1191]

Are these exercises from the “Melodic Chromaticism book/digital download?” Thx

[@samh8749]

CHAZZZZZZ

[@jimcurrie]

Do you have jazz chord music for alto saxophone in E flat.

[@weggensjeanbaptiste]
