A jazz musician with a girlfriend. What a rare sight.
He’s a Chad tho
Next video: My GF teaches me New York State Divorce Law Protocols in 15 minutes
And takes me to a contentious divorce negotiation.
For having not played in 15 years she sounds pretty good honestly.
Chad Ladiesman-Brown
Or Chad for short ;)
its redundant haha
sup zacks brother
@@CarSimping saxologic's the og

I love how she looks REALLY closely at the notes when she's struggling. I do that too...like they're somehow gonna make more sense if they're a little bigger on my retinas :^D Good job!
”My girlfriend is a divorce lawyer”. Well, good luck with that, man!
Just don't marry her, then he should be alright
He's a Chad, though...
@@lorenznolfi368 I'm not so sure. She might represent whoever he does marry.
I advise him to stick with her. What a good sport she is! That's not so common.
@@RalphDratman that was it! His life is done!
Lol
I dabbled in divorce law as a kid.
He is just flexing on us at this point!
Always has been.
That's what jazz-TH-cam is all about: flexing and memes😂
Let it be man...
Now I'm even more jealous of him lmao
@@Sohnjcofield And I love it
I'm going to show this to all of my 5th grade students!!! It's so good to see someone doing this for the first time and not worrying about not sounding amazing right away.
an acronym you can use with your students is FEED (your brain) (from Rewire Your Brain by John Arden) .. simply put
F - Focus on being mindfully aware of every detail you are trying to learn so your brain begins to wire itself through neuroplasticity
E - Effort means activation of your brain to create positive change through experience - for example if you are anxious/worried is because you haven't got enough experience with better performance
E - Effortless is when things start gradually becoming easier and more autopilot (your 5th graders wont get this but its like driving a car becoming a no-brainer , literally)
D - Determination of continuing to keep up the desired behavior in order to reap the benefits of feeling better, more confident, more calm.
@@Koryogden wow! that seems like a very useful concept for developing skills. Although to be honest, i try to avoid the "Effortless" category as i try to avoid anything i would describe as "autopilot." I would prefer to be more spontaneous, at least in practice. But then i suppose i would rely on a little bit of auto pilot in order to make performance easier.
Excelente!!!!! Por favor Español... Eres genial gracas
Really awesome work Chad! You got some solid pedagogy! Also great job GF!
Thanks for a very clear video on how to think when learning to improvise. This is what we need.
I've watched a lot of videos on how to learn jazz improvisation and this is quite possibly the best video I've ever seen.
I wanted to thank you, you have helped me a lot improving my improvisation skills. Happy new year!!
Chad - I loved this. I play flute and I'm a beginner at Jazz improvisation.Thank Melissa for being brave enough to share the beginning of her journey, because that's the level I am at, pretty much. I see what my next step is - to really work on internalizing the chords in the standard 12 bar blues. Right now, I'm just noodling around on the minor pentatonic scales over 12 bar blues in the various keys (backing tracks on TH-cam), but I see that to get to the next level, I really have to start doing the work of arpeggios for each chord. I'll give it a shot. This was a great introductory video. I'd like to see the next baby-step video from there at some point. But give me a month or two to work on learning some basic 7th chords. Thank you!
Dude! Great stuff! Im teaching 2 middle school jazz band over Zoom right now (not ideal...) but this approach is a great way to get them understanding the beginnings of playing the changes! Killer!
OMG! You've just revealed and tear up apart the simple, basic fundamentals of improvisation that I've been trying to understand for years and not a single "teacher" nor "musician friend" could help me to configurate. I swear to God I really thought impro was a magical miracle just few could attain. It's such a relief to know there's actually a formula or path to begin with. Thanks a lot for existing and sharing this jewel! From now on I'm gonna definitely be super aware of harmony too! Have a wonderful life, you really deserve it!
Brilliant video Chad. This is exactly what I keep coming back to again and again: Chord tones, voice-leading with scale and chromatic notes, blending in learned vocabulary.
This is gold guys ;)
It's very kind from you to put the effort and make greats videos about practising and learning jazz and music in general.
Great video, Chad! And great point about advance players. I've been playing sax for 19 years and always find myself revisiting the basics and gaining new understanding. Improvisation came slowly to me and I only became good at it after college. Keep up the practice all you musicians out there!
Now I see where he's headed with his hair-game. Almost there, dude, respect!

Lol Kylo ren playing the saxophone 🎷
Thanks Chad! That was really great! Happy New Year!
Such a great lesson, so much to work on but so clearly explained, brilliant, working on it now, many thanks
excellent video - figured a lot from 1st principles recently, this video fills up some of the gaps - fantastic!! more figuring out to do for the next part of the journey
very sweet! love to see you guys playing together. lots of respect for Melissa dealing with Chad and all his difficult jazz stuff :D
Definitely your best video to date. I'd love to watch Melissa's learning journey if she has the patience to keep up with it. Respect to you for your awesome didactic technique and to her for her patience.
The joy in his face when she started improvising made my night :,)
That's the beginning of the journey into jazz. What I really like is that both of you have so much fun and ambition! All the best and keep on swingin'!
So cute.... thanks for sharing. Learning how to improvise can, in fact be a sweet and tender experience!
To all you teachers out there: listen to Chad as she tries improvising: “ yes! Yes! That’s it. Right! Good.”
This the sound of positivity. And that is beautiful.
Thanks for the video, this really helped me start my Jazz improvisation learning journey!
Two things really jumped out at me:
1. She intrinsically had a basic understanding of how to swing 8ths
2. Her timing was solid
I bet having you around and hearing you practice was a big reason for those skills being present.
This video really made me smile! Awesome work man! And awesome job Melissa!
I hope she keeps playing! Thanks for the video, I have been playing guitar for years and I feel that I got stucked on some point.
Bookmarking this video for all my beginner jazz students in the future. Super fun content, as usual!
This is great, nice to see musicians sharing music with their partners!
One THE BEST Chad L.B. videos ever! I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
Awesome!!! Great video!
Thanks for a very competent and at the same time, straight-forward approach to what you are expert in. This proves you are also a great educator.
Great work. Chad, you're a gifted teacher. Numerous little connecting points that almost everyone else assumes - enabling the haze to lift for this guy (ya know, epiphany), and likely others. Melissa's a good sport - and a keeper. Course I've retired the sax, now working on piano...
As a classical flutist amateur, I'm digging this... Thanks Chad and great job Melissa.
Thanks a lot! Great job for beginners and all of us!
Yay, Melissa! Nice job! Hope you continue playing!
One of the best lessons i have ever seen in 40 years. So well done
Bravo Melissa! And thanks Chad for adding the next steps!
Brava with a final a not an o...she'a woman not a man
This dude's soft smile throughout the intro just made the whole video
This was both very adorable and lots of great information too!
Great moment to watch! Thanks
This is FANTASTIC. I wish someone taught me this when I was playing trumpet in high school. Meanwhile, the comments are almost as good as this video.
Thank you Chad ! More videos like this please
I played the flute and its been years! Been wanting to go back and try improv but i thought it would be impossible. this vid was encouraging:) great job melissa!
just do it; You'll have so much fun.
Love this! She did really well for someone who hasn’t played since high school!
Great video!
Always outstanding content from you. I’m ex trombonist. Now Sax player. I loved those ballads you did. By the way, your tone is the best.
You guys make an awesome team!
This turned from a teaching video for his girlfriend to a TEACHING video😭 I’m a bass player but I still love it great work man!
So Beautiful Love,
Happy New Year !
This is amazing!!!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. You have a wonderful tone and style, reminiscent of Coleman Hawkins'.
Great video and actually a masterclass in marketing and how to sell as well as how to play - kudos!
You guys looks like a happy couple. Glad for you both.
Muy buen material...me encanta este canal...super util...aun siendo bajista...saludos
Finally we see the GF! Great video man!
I played along....this was fun!
Amo seus vídeos Chad LB
I also played a blues lick with all 12 chromatic notes. It was a quick chromatic run up to the root and then I descended the blues scale.
This girl is good at jazz. She has a good skill set.
These pdf's that you have put together are also really great for Middle school jazz bands too!
This is super helpful!
very cool stuff
You two make a great couple , great you two have music to have fun with.
love this!
Excellent ... Thank you!
As returning flute player who wants to play jazz..... I love this video
LOVE IT! Thank you! MORE MORE MORE Please!............................ Enjoy this time before the kiddos are Landing on Earth!
I make beats, but this randomly popped up so I followed along on my midi controller interesting video! I'm glad it was recommended
These improvisation tips seem like great melody composition tips
I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but did anybody notice that Chad is transposing on the spot from the sheet music (having a Bb-instrument)? I learned that from my teacher as well and am deeply grateful for that
5:08 now you've done EVERYTHINGGGG .... exceptforonthisonemeasureweregonnaplayc7
This helped me so much.
This is enjoyable because when chad talks to his gf his voice gets even higher
Yeah- keep the babe in the instructional videos!
That's best express blues class I have taken in my life....
Yall look great together! So cute!
Amazing video, Chad!
Thank you
Oh man, divorce attorney. You are a brave man. Great playing as always though...
Not to worry, he's a jazz musician and she's a lawyer, she already has all the money.
@@ericmyrs 😂 didn’t have to do him dirty like that
@@dennis8927 I didn't have to. But you gotta admit, it was pretty funny.
On E flat medium on the flute, we don't use the left hand index , just like for D medium.
Great tutorial ... Thank you :-)
I do that to my wife also! I somehow perceive practicing while she's nearby as an expression of my love.:>) I know it can be annoying, especially when it's repetitive patterns and scales! Add to this, that my dog Jack loves to sing to the horn, so it gets to be a bit of a nightmare at times!
very very good Exercise thank you
awesome!
legit made my pup howl lol, good job hitting those overtones!!!
love this
Your talking is in some good stable bpm, common time also :D very cute
great video idea
Wholesome content is wholesome
Just so y’all know, Chad’s materials are a few years worth of material, not 15 minutes!
It's quite a syllabus!
I like this course... I'm playing clarinet and I would like play Jazz could you let me knows which book you recommend to start ? Thanks
Is there a recommended order to start working through the different stuff in the starter pack?
Chad your amazing man. I wish I could take private lessons with you.
Is Mixolydian the 5th degree of the major chord to make G the starting point? I'm a new starter learning about music as I play.
