Note: You do not need to practice this much!!! Most of my life I’ve only practiced for about an hour every day. Focused practicing is everything! Notice for most of the video I switch up the content about every 20 minutes to stay engaged. Stay focused for 1 hour and you will accomplish far more than 4 hours of aimless practicing. Today, try practicing 3 topics for 20 minutes each and see how it goes! Chad LB Text Lessons Studio open for the first time this year!

Charlie Parker was able to practice so long on end because he was also high half the time so I’m sure some of the time in the shed he was spacin out and then he would insane burst of practice. Underneath the demon, there was something genius. I don’t endorse drug use with professional life, but sometimes some grass and a nice long shed can do a lot of wonders for playing. Like being super stoned and just playing melodic cells everywhere and exploring is a lot of fun, it makes you feel like Bud or Monk lol. Long live Bird.

I watched Nathans video first and ended up watching yours. Honestly, I am wondering in all this challenge how your embouchure got through this marathon? I am a clarinet player, and I guess that for clarinet you need a bit more firmly embouchure, but still man, it is insane not to blast after 4 or 5 hours. I think my record was around 6 hours back in students days, but I also remember that tomorrow I was able to play much less. Congrats to both of you! :)
@AndreGSilva3 жыл бұрын
It's not about the hours you put in, it's how smart you practice. Doesn't mean anything practicing for 4 hours straight and playing the same stuff or playing what you already know. Break the topics you want to practice in intervals of 15 or 20 minutes and keep going, make it consistent. The other thing is that It's better to practice 15 minutes every day than 4 hours one day of the week. You won't progress as much without consistency.

Let's ask: Pat Matheny, Papa Lou Donaldson, Bebop master Charles McPherson, Mike Stern, and, yes, . Nathan Graybeal, among many other Organic Jazz wizards. They all do agree; or, do they? 👍 Clive Davis, a man with excellent promotional acumen, doesn't disagree 😂😢😮 Davis, of ARISTA RECORDS, is "the wind behind [Kenny G's] wings" of fame and financial success 🙌
