You give away a lot of "jazz-secrets" in your lessons. Thank you VERY MUCH!
Thanks for watching! I’m happy to share what I’ve learned and continue to learn :)
I am 60 years old and a pretty good player considering that I made my living over the years. I wish I had seen some of the stuff 40 years ago. You have given my practice sessions a whole new meaning thank you very much
Thank you, Philip! That means a lot to me. I’m glad you’re enjoying the content!
Wow, Philip, this s exactly my comment, apart from that I am 61 years old ;) of course there has been Patterns For Jazz, but learning through video is much more fun!! so again, thank you for sharing Chad!
Ha! The same here! Great you kept it up.Peace.
Same … ‘Cept I’m 49

My main man Adam❤️
The shapes should also be played in major 2nds, minor 3rds, major 3rds, and 4ths That's how my last teacher had me practice licks, etc. That essentially covers all the common chord movements and helps develop dexterity.
Practice everything that one day you would like to use
this is why music is life. a melodic cell is nothing but a short phrase of musical language, and when you put together a bunch of small musical phrases that make sense in context you get a sentence. and so just like human beings, when you put a bunch of cells together that cooperate you get a whole person or a song.
Finally someone who talks some sense.
Yes!!!
Love it! Thanks!
this is awesome Chad!
Excellent Chad, love your lessons and pdfs!
Cool stuff
I forgot to thank you sooner, Chad.
I've been watching your lessons on Melodic Cells in the past, and ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I took the Jazz Improvisation Course with Gary Burton at Berklee Online, and I am happy to say that this helped me with my assignments, especially the songs that involved fast chord changes.
Thank you!
Espectacular! Thanks Chad!
FANTASTIC!
Very helpful -- and attainable!
Great lesson!
This is awesome. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Chad..nice concepts
This is really great stuff. Thank you.
Thank you Chad.! So much information!
Very interesting,thank you.
Thank you Chad, huge help as always!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you man!
I love you chad
Thank you Chad
Thanks so much! Might just be the push I needed!
Great content :)
Thanks Chad. Can't tell you how helpful these videos are!
Thanks for making Jazz so complicated
Nothing to say! Fantastic, thanks a lot!
Really great video. I've been looking for another element to add into my practice sessions. This is it. Thank you!
I enjoy your mymusicmasterclass video on this topic
Great video , this will take many to the next level, thanks!
Great video. I do a lot of live improvising and I learnt a few good ideas, thanks.
Best exposition of cells I've seen
An exquisite lesson! Such a simple yet refreshing concept! Thank you so much!
Feeling like I'm getting formal education. Thank you so much Chad for your generosity and good music.
Chad - thanks for the great information. I have been "woodshedding" on my technique - this is fantastic.
I have the same lamp in the background haha
Great video
Come to Perú soon! hugs from Lima!
That’s a slamming video! Great content!!
yeah, so good amazing videos chad!
HI, Chad, this new PDF book sounds exciting. 64 exercises; does that mean 64 different patterns? I'll probably buy it. Thanks
This is a great concept. I think the most misunderstood part is the importance of moving the cell up/down in half/ whole steps. I think many of us were taught to practice things in all keys through the circle of 4ths/5ths, and I wouldn’t necessarily say that is a bad thing to do, but as far as getting things in the hands and improving you’re technique, you are absolutely right about this.
You are the best teacher.from your video i have improve a lot. May gld bless you till heaven
Thanks for the lesson Chad, I need something like this to break some of my bad habits I have developed and it is working well.
Sou teu fã meu querido,teu som é top👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great material! A video with samples of melodic cells applied on Jazz Standards would be great.
Love watching your videos Chad, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and the way you make it accessible.
I was wondering, why cant we just download and keep the classes coming up soon? I would just like to study and digest with time instead of having a 2 week cap. I dont mind paying at all I would just like to have them for my own studies and take my time with them.
Either way thanks for the video! Learned a lot
studying piano you're one of the most interesting eachers+ players for me!!!!!Great compliment the basics + how to go outside...
Honestly thank you for always making tutorials and making them simple and easy. Ever since i found this channel ive learned so much concepts and skills to develop as a musician. I appreciate it.
Thank you, Joshua! So glad you’re enjoying the content!
tq Chad, very good lesson.
yeah so good!
I'm late to the game. Great lesson.. Thank you!
Great lesson. Very very useful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Wanderfull lesson I’ve buy the pdf, now i have to work a lot to Internalize. I have discover your channel by accident few time ago and now is My favorite. Thank you Chad for spread music colture all over the world in a so clear and simply way, this is a great thing. Hope to listen you in Italy.
Fantastic ! I just got the Melodic Cell combo and I'm so eager to start working ! I've been working the last year on the 20 Standard excercises with Approaches techniques and that's just fabelous. Very happy to learn from Chad, excellent musician AND excellent teacher.
Awesome again Chad. Great information and you explain it so well, and being able to hear you perform it shows how amazing it can sound once one gets a handle on it.
Thanks for doing these videos. I have purchased a few of your pdf books and always enjoy listening to you explain and demonstrate. Regards
Thanks so much, Robin! So glad you’re enjoying the content!
You’re the best of the best, AMAZING TEACHER, killin man,
Thank you, Marco! That means a lot!!
Woow.. that's an awesome concept
I just immediately progressed when i started to work on it
You can create your own melodic cell and dude that's sound so powerful it's awesome thx a lot master Chad!!
This videos really help me to understand about how study improv, thanks!
Thanks for watching! So glad you’re enjoying the content!
Grazie amico per i tuoi video , sono utilissimi e tu sei un grande ciao ........e grazie per i futuri video
Great info Chad.... much appreciated. I am currently working on minor 7th chord tones chromatically and in various combinations. As I am internalizing, I am finding that these cells are making their way into my thoughts and soloing. Hours of practicing at 60 bpm, then increasing tempo gradually making sure there are no mistakes. It is paying off. I also play Major 7th chord tones 1-3-5-7, 2-4-6-1, 3-5-7-2, etc in all keys daily along with long tones. The melodic cell exercises you present is something I want/need to work on. Will be purchasing. Thanks for your help. You are blessed with a great talent of teaching and playing/ performing. Much appreciated. Thanks
From Russia with love) Thanks a lot!
Hope to be back in Russia soon!
Great lesson man! There's enough to practice for months 😅
Hello Chad ! This video and your explanations are very clear and wonderful. I think that you have to do the same with the pentatonic shifting concept because you explained this concept but without visual . i think that it would be better to memorize and to study for us. Thanks and most of all continue your channel. !!!
Thank you, Jean-Luc! I hope to get to that soon while I’m off tour :)
Hi Chad, your videos are the best on YT for a jazzman who wants to improve his melodic lines. I was wondering if you use different fingering for Bb when improvise; there's 3 different ones, but I noticed when I play an improvised solo, I always use the same one with a side key
Tenho vc como referência de som é técnica, meu querido Deus continue te abençoando.
Thanks Chad for removing the mystery out of this. You clearly broke it down
Thank you very much for the video, I would like see a video about care you hands because when I practice some scales in fast time, after I am feeling really pain, can you give us some councils for this ?
Seems very similar to the triad concept, with an extra note of course. Any differences otherwise? Love your videos, Chad, keep them coming.
Hi Chad I have been studying your 2 above one below enclosures for the past several months. Can you do a video on how to start using them over a tune? Does this make sense?
Wicked man. Nice concept. First thing that springs to mind, apart from Trane of course, is Lieb and Grossman Live At The Lighthouse with Elvin. A galaxy of four note melodic cell building exactly as you describe! 🤛🏻
Absolutely! Love that album!
Ok Wow... I'm a bassist and would really love to incorporate this into my playing.
I will review and try it out.. thank you for sharing this.
Bass player, please listen to Paul chambers, Sam Jones, Ray brown, Ron Carter, John Pattituchi, etc.
I am bad at reading. If you would add beside the backing track, you playing it , meaning i could also play with you and make sure i read right, I would buy it :) It stopped me to buy on you site before. Thank you for your work hough. Regards
Tq Chad my 'Sifu'. i hv learn alot from your channel. i wish you can come at my town, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Malaysia to do jazz workshop.
Check out the Jerry Bergonzi books, especially Volume 1.
Also Coker's book
I’d throw Mike Steinel’s “Building a Jazz Vocabulary” into the mix, too.
@@donl9571 yeah those are great charts!!
Chad, your stuff is great! Video could be less choppy. The edits are noticeable. But your excellent playing and content is well presented and very useful!
Thank you Chad. One of the questions that's been on my mind for awhile: what is the road leading up to double time? Does one approach it by spending enough time at slower tempo and gradually raise it to uptempo? Or does one have to separately, deliberately tackle the faster tempo before they feel "ready?"
Learn to walk before you run
Oh man
Your tips are very clearly expressed and very helpful and I am grateful. The cartoons at the side of the video are hugely distracting, though. I have to cover the screen to exclude them from vision or I can’t concentrate on what you are saying.
Are they strictly necessary? I wonder if other people feel the same way as me.
Hey Chad, I've been working on Mike Steinel's book "Building a Jazz Vocab" recently and this video is exactly what I've been trying to do. The musical examples in your video are great illustrations of this. Thanks for the video!
Do you have any videos on jazz articulation? That would be so helpful because I'm more of a classical player learning jazz.
One thing that's really helped me is slurring from the offbeat to the downbeat and thinking less of a triplet feel and more of just letting the back accent do the work
@@connorprimtrumpet2197 thank you!
Over the past number of months I have got the 2 over one under enclosure pattern down fairly fast in all keys. Feels pretty natural. Now how do I use it? Barry Harris chromatic scales in all keys is coming out better in playing in an easier way. I know it will pay off but just asking once you get the enclosures under your fingers how do you use them?
Chad on your Non Diatonic Cell C minor vamp, I got a little confused because you're not playing the exercise exactly as written. No big deal but I think it would be easier if you insert a bar after m. 7 and put a whole note C tied across. Same thing with the last note, add a bar with whole note C tied across there as well. let me know what you think.
Amazing video!
Can you make a video about the best way to learn vocabulary?
Transcribe and sing solos (and your exercices)
@@yanaellavaly5875 I gree about transcription, but I am interested in what to do after a transcribed solo.
Sergej Stokuca you gotta analyze what the player is doing on a harmonic level. Then when you figure out what he is doing and why it works try to add it to your solo. Watch videos of some people analyzing solos.
The diatonic cell at 8:36 is diatonic to what scale or chord?
If I was to get one approach note/cell PDF which one should I get?
If we can’t do the live workshop, can we access the material later ?? for a fee of course ??
Yes! You will have private access to stream each masterclass you book access to for 2 weeks after the workshop concludes so you can watch any of the content at your own convenience.
When do you suggest learning cells? Should I learn them if I'm still working on scales and scale patterns?
Years ago a teacher helped me learn my major scales by pointing out that you can break a major scale up the melodic cell 1 2 3 4 starting on the root and then on the fifth. e.g. the C major scale is just the first 4 notes of the C scale followed by the first 4 notes of the G scale. At the time this helped me a lot as suddenly I only had to learn half the notes of my scales! So I think it's never too early to work on cells.
Absolutely! I feel strongly that the best way to practice is to always be revolving/cycling through different material. I practice a new set of content every few weeks and typically even practice a few concepts each day.
@@robinbalean958 Wow! I just thought that through and it about blew my mind! I never, ever thought of a scale that way. I see how it could make things much easier, and it would get my brain thinking in melodic cells. Thanks for posting this. Peace.
#breakitdown :)
I Chad, I've just bought this PDF but there was no audio track attached to the file, but only the sheets. Is there any way to get the backing track? Thanks for your training works.
Thanks for downloading the PDF Package! The backing track link is in the table of contents of the PDF :) Enjoy!!
I can't find the pdf to purchase or download. Can you provide a link?
I've heard melodic cells also called digital patterns
yeah! i got told that too!
How are you Chad, I am an immigrant in South Africa and cannot access a bank account online. I want to buy some pdf. Please tell me if there is another way I can deposit the money. Thanks🙏
Hi Chad, great lesson. The coupon code "CLB5" doesn't work for (Bass Clef) Melodic Cells - 64 Exercises For Building Ultimate Technique... It works only for the pdf in treble clef? Let me know
Hi Gianluca, thank you man! I just checked into the code issue with the JLV Team and it’s been fixed! Sorry it didn’t work before!
@@ChadLefkowitzBrown thank you :)
Brilliant, intelligent and concise. Thanks. Question. Is this what used to be called ‘ clusters ?’
4:45 These all sound the same to me -(
