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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
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 TH-cam audience. Hope your classes fill up quickly :)
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.
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.
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.) ?
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
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.
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?

AYOO THE INTRO IS FIRE LMAO
Agreed
6:14 - Enclosure exercise (ascending)
6:57 - Enclosure exercise (descending)
10:25 - phrase workout
12:39 - Enclosure around root in Blues
These videos are the best because they’re not too long, have actually usable exercises, and fantastic examples of what correct usage sounds like
Stoked to hear from your Bro Chaz🎷🤣 Thanks 🙏

Dude.. Chaz Rocks!!
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.
The descending version is exactly the same, but it's 12312 instead of 12354.
Hola bro George thank you. This makes it more clear. You are like a teacher to me explaining the inside of a book
@@mthandazobaleni6906 Absolutely brother, happy practicing!

awesome material, man!
Best wishes from Brazil.
Excellent presentation showing how enclosures and chromaticism work for everyone!

That opening cracked me up!! As guitar player, your videos have changed my mind. Always great stuff. Thnx for what you do man!
Seriously, thanks for all this info, super helpful!
Bro you described my current dilemma perfectly at the beginning. This is so helpful
Thank you Master!!!
Chads videos just don't stop getting better
Clear. Concise. Helpful. Thanks!
The real eye opener. This is actually the first time I start to understand your teaching
Intro gives me Saxologic vibes
Same🤣🤣🤣
How he would say: Yessir🤣🤣🤣
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!
Is your brother Chaz giving private lessons right now? He seems to know what he's talking about.
Great Chaz .
Phrase 2 should be B natural 3rd note from the end (enclosure). Love your videos
This information and your great teaching is like finding gold !! Now back to practricing it. Thank you !

Cool video

I’d buy protein mixes and vitamin supplements from Chazz LB.
Chaz should be in more vids
Chad’s PDF books for these are 10 Warmup Exercises for Jazz Musicians and 15 Approach Note Exercises.

Super intro..
CHAZZZZZZ
You sound like a pro. Let me know if you have any music for E flat alto saxophone.
thank you
Fire intro 🔥🔥🙊🙊
Chad's Beard game is on point.
Was that Freddie Hubbard playing the licc on Bolivia at the beginning?
🤣LOL, Great intro! Great sound!

good for piano too
0:06 the licc for live
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?
Amazing intro!!! Hilarious!
Good stuff ! Thank you!
You're a mad man. ;-)
Are these exercises from the “Melodic Chromaticism book/digital download?”
Thx
Do you have jazz chord music for alto saxophone in E flat.
Hey chad, what mouthpiece are you using here?
Hahahah! Love this intro!
nice shirt
Chaz is the evil Chad that asks you to like subscribe and hit bell notification as soon as the video starts
Wassup
@@ludvigbroman Sup
@@cjgreen4331 hows life?
@@ludvigbroman Same old same old. Lot of work, but also a lot of free time due to covid. How about you
@@cjgreen4331 same here a lot of school, only maybe a little less free time but its managable
Dear Chad.how can I skip the underlines. They covers the notes and arent necessery atall.
Drunk Chad mode on ahahaha
Did i hear the licc in the intro? :D
I love how the add before the video was a lame saxophone teacher chick literally going “do you want to blah blah blah?”
The amount of times i forget how to go down is fucked
jazz itself changed my life though lol
studying louis armstrong 1920s solos and studying charlieparker had tremendous impact on my life.
Don't ignore the fact that he uses a boston sax shop mouthpiece pad
I kinda miss Chazz in the latest videos
Rex Kwan Do!!,
Hilarious intro bro. Plz more laughing before we hear you play and start crying
who let saxologic run the intro
that’s me, mr. chromatic enhancement.. there’s not a safe whole step anywhere! 🎸🎷😎
It's as if James Franco and Dracula had a child.
Lol!!! 😅😅
dude plays so good but legit looks like the jazz jafar bro. im gonna write a tune for you called Vizier and ill email it to you
Funny... Listen to chad for 1min at 1.75 speed then go back to Normal speed
bull****! These exercises HAVE changed my life
12 view!
