Practicing a Woody Shaw "lick" in all keys for technique.

- If you want to get more variety in your technical practice, try transcribing a challenging "lick" and taking it through the keys. You'll work your ears, fingers and tongue, all the while increasing your improv vocabulary! This video is not meant to show you how to play the lick (sorry!), but rather to show you that practicing licks like this lick can benefit your technique and save you from the boredom of only practicing Clarke studies!

This is a great exercise and I'm a long way from being able to do it but to help me remember the patterns I think of it as three groups of 8 notes.
1st 8) Fm, bebop lick on G
2nd 8) B pentatonic descending then repeat but swap middle 2 notes
3rd 8) F# pentatonic, 2-5-3-1, 5-3-1-1
And the overall pattern for each group is root key - tritone sub - root key + semitone
You prolly dont care but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Camdyn Abraham instablaster =)
@Brodie Nico i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Brodie Nico it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Camdyn Abraham No problem xD
Great lick from the master!
Great stuff !!! Thanks for posting !!
Where is your trumpet embouchure video? Great method of practicing technique btw!!
Killin', Charlie! Keep 'em comin' !!
Sounding great and almost didn't recognize you. Lookin good man! Thanks for sharing this.
Nice to see you again
I'm sure simpler licks work too! This is why I subscribed, you're a great teacher.
It would have been nice if he'd included this written out.
@@MrRezillo Right? He wants us to do it by ear though...
@@richtraube2241 I agree completely. It's just that I'm juggling a lot of licks and patterns, and I can forget things easily.
Okay I think I found out where in the song he is playing. If you go onto the Rosewood song he plays it around 3:50 -4:00 in the video. It should be right after a sax solo And he should be playing it right around 30 seconds after he starts his solo.
Hopefully that helps
Hello charlie my name is Rodolfo im a student of trumpet ... First of all I really like your sound is great ... I would like to see more of your videos ...
Love this channel
Sounds Great do you have this written out boy to fast to catch
Can you add a transcription of that lick. I'm a
beginner whit the trumpet, and i can't reproduce the lick
Nice!
How do you use this harmonically? What chords is it over?
Charlie, I've cleaned the whole oven before the video has finished 😄
Can you swing by my place?
Hí , Charlie,
will try this in coming days!

Hey Charlie ! How are you ! Nice Woody Riff ! Now play it backwards and then sideways ! YOU'LL LOVE IT ! IT'S GRRRRRRRREAT !
😝😝
Bro. Killer.
Where can I get this written pls!!!
Would you be able to send a link to the notes or the scale pattern so I could possible practice that?
Miles Spearman could you possibly send me a PDF of the slick?
Sound like the pentatonic patterns shown here (demonstration starts in 2:38):

Learn it by ear
Maybe you don't like it and I apologize, but can you tell me what mouthpiece you use in this video? It's simple curiosity. Thank you very much
can you sent the lick part, i want to make my routine exercise.. thanks
So Charlie, how would you use this harmonicaly??Fm to ?
That's what I'm talkin' aboot!!!!!
You can flub it and still sound like a monster because you started it!
sounds like the first couple of bars into J Coltranes solo on countdown
I'm not a great player, but I found a way to play slick licks in the high register. For me the problem was always "am I hitting the right notes" because of so many "false" fingering in the upper register; I'd be so overwhelmed I'd give up, so here's a solution: Invent a clever lick in the easy mid-register then merely play same fingering in the upper.
As for this lick, here's the first 7 notes: F G G# Bb G# G F ....
You have these things on either side of your head called ears. Use them.
Woody was ridiculous!
thx!
Great videos!
Are you single / double / doodle tonguing?
Tjwtrumpet slur to - tongue to combinations
I think the more important question is, "are you single?"
@@CharliePorter thank you for the lick - after trying several tongue-combinations i figured, that using strictly double-tongue is the best way to gain speeeed
Woody Shaw! What monster. What a tragedy.
FUCK YES
Im a very good trumpet player but also a visual learner and not exactly lazy, and I know it is supposed to be better to learn by ear, but Im also visual. Which is all to say, Im producing latin/tribal house music now, and what I wouldnt do for a book of latin/cuban trumpet licks to take one on daily. Cant find any, the few I do are high register which Im not. Speed, yeah. Ideas? For me, it’s not time efficient to go searching for solos and transcribing, I just want to get the feel to open up my own ideas. Any ideas welcome.
holy shitballs!!!!
Thanks for the help. You're a great teacher, Nice of you to share soo much information NOT!
Transcribe it
wearing a beanie inside the house..
take it slowly sometimes now
hi. ..PDF please
Bro...transcribe it!
How am I supposed to practice it without the sheet music? smh
It goes too fast and his playing isn't that clear, he sounds like he didn't warm up before playing. If you manage to figure out the notes out of this then good for you.
Nah I've been playing for years, I just went and listen to the actual Woody Shaw lick and that did it for me. Thanks for the advice anyway.
you can lead a horse to water ...
Siegmeyer Of Catarina PRO TIP: Play back this video at 1/4 speed and learn it directly by ear from Charlie. The pitch doesn’t change.
Play it 100 times, then slowly work it out in different keys (no shortcuts!). Good luck dude!
@@PaladinWilhelm ....my thoughts exactly...in fact, notating stuff really gets it "into your head" long before you're able to play it.
Where is your trumpet embouchure video? Great method of practicing technique btw!!
