I have actually experienced this where I get frustrated, leave the lick or passage, come back the next day (or two days later if I'm really salty) and lo and behold! I play it perfectly. Only once of course.
This was such a blast to make. There are a couple more videos Chad and I made - stay tuned for those! In the meantime, though there is no actual magic pill (darn), there will be a lot of valuable lessons at Chad LB's Virtual Saxophone Workshop, happening August 19th-22nd. There will be 16 masterclasses (I'm giving one about the the science behind warmup exercises + examples), held through Zoom. For people that purchase a Full-Access Pass, you will have 30-day streaming access to watch any masterclass from the Workshop you may have missed, or just want to watch again. If you'd like to join the workshop, please feel free to use my coupon code "Saxologic" for $50 dollars off any ticket choice you decide. Link to sign up is in my description!
This is so relatable. When I first started playing Trumpet, there was this Clifford Brown lick I liked and I transcribed it. I struggled so much when I tried to play it and I threw a tantrum much like Nathan did. I went to my mentor the next day and he told me "Just relax bro." (The magic pill). And I played the lick perfectly, not at the full tempo though. It was such an achievement that I felt like I don't need to practice it again and have since forgotten how to play it. I should check it out again.
I admire how talented Nathan is politely and humbly accepting the torch of Organic Real Jazz excellence from the master himself - of course, with his usual humor. I do "lohv" the dual comradeship; don't you?
I love how creative you are with your videos and how you incorporate people you meet that inspire you into them! It’s so rad and refreshing, love your content dude! Always inspirational too.
I love how Chad is happy to have you there even if it looks like he has no idea how you got there or, know what you’re talking about, AND is willing to show you another lick 🥺😩💕😫🥰
0:45 Mario: U already know wut 2 do m8 DK: TRANSCRIBEEEEE Luigi: bro DK i can smell ur breath down here dawg Waluigi: says the one who got cheated on by Daisy Luigi: wtf? worry about making it to Smash b4 u say anything Waluigi: ...wow bro low blow :/ Toad: I'm literally a mushroom Luigi: yeah get rekt DK: life is bigger than the MK lick man Mario: whoa DK that's literally a falacy Bowser: i literally breath fire and i am a turtle DK: TRANSCRIBEEEEE!!!! (You could say I'm sort of a transcriber myself)
I was fully prepared to have this video come out sometime next week or the week after where you actually learned the Chad shred at the end.................
I don't play sax, still very relatable. I have done this many times with my Drawing skills, always practicing and not getting it right untill I get exhausted and have to nap/sleep When I wake up and try again It's all nice and clear
I tell my students it's like cooking a big pot of soup. You gotta put in all your ingredients (slow practice) but when it's not fully ready you can't keep adding seasoning to force it to taste good (over-practicing, speeding up too quickly, and making silly mental mistakes). Instead you gotta put a lid on it and let it simmer (take a break and let your brain do it's magic to solidify those new pathways). It will always taste better when it's had time for the flavors to meld and you will sound better if you trust your brain to do it's job.
I love this is so funny. This here is the realist comment on the life of the lesser-yet-determined musician... Chad's, Colliers and 1st chair drummers just laughin about the rest of us.. but some cool shiz does come outta dreams
Yeah... ChadLB wastes no time with scrubs. The fact he even appears in this video means you are way better than even your audience know you are. Great job on this. And chad, you rock!
Don’t take pills from strangers
You can always say no to a drug person, but not to drug
I once had a student tell me “Mr Myers, there’s a strange pill on the floor.” Turns out it was a Smartie. Anyways say no to drugs
HAHAHA!!!! Great advice! Drugs are bad MmmmKay!
Wait did I take a pill from you a while back bro?
So what I’m hearing is that I should take drugs from strangers?
“Jesus??”
“No…I’m CHAD”
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
If only he still had the long hair
Haha oh man this was so fun!! You’re the man!
The real man is you! Stocking up on magic pills now
I was not expecting this great crossover!
This video was so damn funny🤣🤣
Love you guys, you are both inspirational to me!
You two were great!
Chad LB is here 🙌🏾 I am working on scoring your song 👂, Stompin' At The Savoy (Chick WebbBenny Goodman) on my Alto 🎷.
"I put 10 whole minutes in this and I can't even do it yet"
Halarious and relatable
I have actually experienced this where I get frustrated, leave the lick or passage, come back the next day (or two days later if I'm really salty) and lo and behold! I play it perfectly. Only once of course.
Anytime after that one time is somehow always worse than before though.
This is so true. I feel this on a deep emotional level
Yep. It's like working out. The strength isn't gained during the workout, it's gained during the sleep and recovery period after the workout.

Do you can play Tavito Vásquez los saxofones solo?
2:04
*carefully places Mark VI on the stand
*violently throws harness on the floor
😂😂 Somethings get special treatment!
*evil Hercules stand violently throws Mark VI on the floor
*Nate's car suddenly appears in the basement and runs over it
I haven't had a day this bad in a very very long time... Thank you so much for making that go away Nate. You make me smile when I feel I can't ❤
Bad days suck! Glad this helped!
That line, "Want to try this one"
Got me right in the feels.
Wow! THE Amelie from the flute channel watching Saxologic? Awesome!

the skit was hilarious and super well done! love that we have jazz skits now
I died when chad came in like “your practice is futile”😂😂
If I had been drinking something, I would have spit it all over my screen
Is that what he said when appearing as Jesus? I couldn't hear that despite playing it many times over. That makes it funnier!
tbf chad's place looks like a dream
Thank you so much for the kind words. We were so happy to have you visit! It was so much fun! Can’t wait to hang again soon! 😁😁
Thank you as well! You and Chad (and the dogs) made me feel so welcome the whole time. I am always down to hang again!!
This is the best TH-cam video on this whole ass site no joke
I agree
I love u
I admire how talented Nathan is politely and humbly accepting the torch of Organic Real Jazz excellence from the master himself - of course, with his usual humor.
I do "lohv" the dual comradeship; don't you?
I don't know what type of content this is considered but more plz
hello nathan how are you today
Great
@@Saxologic thats just wonderful to hear
@@Tdub764 You're wonderful
@@Saxologic dude honestly though you are quite wonderful indeed
I think you can tell how he's doing by watching the first 10 seconds xd
Chad and Nathan are A list actors and you can’t tell me otherwise. Incredible.
Saxologic sense of humor is getting better and better and great. !!
I just love the fact that Jazz was happening! like it was some magic.
You're getting into a different level in you channel. Next a movie
"I put like 10 whole minutes into this and I can't even do it yet!" That's honestly such a fucking mood xDD
ayo but Nathan really slept in one of Chad’s beds tho?
I love how creative you are with your videos and how you incorporate people you meet that inspire you into them! It’s so rad and refreshing, love your content dude! Always inspirational too.
Jazz is happening?
That's a mood if I heard one.
I love that they're like actually good friends.
The funnies part of this video is the fact that i have the exact same notation booklet AND the same mario poster...
It’s so funny seeing you transcribe this because I did transcribed the same luck for my University Jazz Audition a year ago! It’s a great lick!
Award worthy film short...I nominate it for Sundance. Totally captures the struggle of jazz lick/Chad lick mastery
I love how Chad is happy to have you there even if it looks like he has no idea how you got there or, know what you’re talking about, AND is willing to show you another lick 🥺😩💕😫🥰
Ha! My goodness! This made my day! Great job both of you!!
Ha! That was a blast.
I don't know why, but the intros where you eat the most random stuff using the most random objects still is so funny to me
"I'm ready" *immediately fucks up* I feel this in my s o u l
"I put like ten whole minutes in this and I can't even do it yet!" MOOD
I’m convinced that chad could kill all of us with a single look
i just found this out of nowhere and its funny
"No I'm Chad" 💀😂
What I learned from this video: I can just eat Tylenol and be a god at saxophone
This is a top tier video
0:45
Mario: U already know wut 2 do m8
DK: TRANSCRIBEEEEE
Luigi: bro DK i can smell ur breath down here dawg
Waluigi: says the one who got cheated on by Daisy
Luigi: wtf? worry about making it to Smash b4 u say anything
Waluigi: ...wow bro low blow :/
Toad: I'm literally a mushroom
Luigi: yeah get rekt
DK: life is bigger than the MK lick man
Mario: whoa DK that's literally a falacy
Bowser: i literally breath fire and i am a turtle
DK: TRANSCRIBEEEEE!!!!
(You could say I'm sort of a transcriber myself)
Dude, I love this video is so creative..... Both sound awesome.... one of my favs. Jesus?..... LOL
What a collab!! :o
Chad is a cool guy
"I put like ten whole minutes into it and I can't even do it yet" so relatable 😂
Thank you Chad
The Mario Kart LICC | Chad version
Dude you had me rolling!
Hello Uncle Michael 😎
Oh thank god we missed u😘
Congrats on movin up Nathan! You gotta SHED to SHRED
This is legendary🎷🤣
This is honestly such an inspiration. This year I'm gonna be focusing a lot on adding new licks to my repertoire, wish me luck sax man.
Chad is so perplexingly good I literally can’t believe it
I've come back to this like 6 times just to rewatch the intro
I was fully prepared to have this video come out sometime next week or the week after where you actually learned the Chad shred at the end.................
Wow these jazz lick looks amazing and effortless in performance but looks so hard during practice
Man, you sound great on that mark vi
This video made me subscribe to Chad LB IMMEDIATELY. Thank you Nathan.
Best line: "I put like 10 whole minutes into this...."
That's how I figured out Hot Cross Buns!😂🤣😂🤣 Exact same way!!!
This is definitely one of the best videos you did Nathan! It's so hilarious!
Tries for 10 minutes and immediately walks away defeated! 😂🤣
I feel super cool just because I have the same 5 dollar blank sheet music book as THE Saxologic wowow
The book is goated
I don't play sax, still very relatable.
I have done this many times with my Drawing skills, always practicing and not getting it right untill I get exhausted and have to nap/sleep
When I wake up and try again It's all nice and clear
One of my favorite video from you
This video is perfect
So cool to see u together 🔥bests Sax in the youtube game
That dream skit was hilarious
Chad: take this magic pills
Nathan: iS tHiS dRUgS?
10/10. thanks!
You are with the man himself!
Great job brother! Love your work! Keep doing it! Take care!
"I put like ten whole minutes in this and I can't even do it yet!" that was too real lmao
So good!! Love your channel!!!!
I love you!
Bro chad and Nathan is godly 🙌🏼
That's heavy stuff bro. Osmium heavy.
Good things are happening to you because you're working hard and doing good things.
Edited to add: And because you have neat handwriting.
I tell my students it's like cooking a big pot of soup. You gotta put in all your ingredients (slow practice) but when it's not fully ready you can't keep adding seasoning to force it to taste good (over-practicing, speeding up too quickly, and making silly mental mistakes).

It will always taste better when it's had time for the flavors to meld and you will sound better if you trust your brain to do it's job.
My new favourite fever dream!
i love all the things you are by chaddie
bro bro I hope you're having a baller at NY. I miss you big man. 🔥🎷
Great video. I love watching you play the sax. You play really well. Keep up the great work.

Waiting for that transcription to show up in reccomendations
How much is this pill again??

Chad is Morpheus!!!
Senzo bean is the pill! Diggin' the DBZ shirt!
So True! Also nice Street Fighter Music.
I love this is so funny. This here is the realist comment on the life of the lesser-yet-determined musician... Chad's, Colliers and 1st chair drummers just laughin about the rest of us.. but some cool shiz does come outta dreams
hahaha this is the best one I’ve seen yet bro! had me geekin
Thank you brother Owen! Great seeing you again at smalls! You have been hitting the gym haven’t you? Yes sir!
@@Saxologic haha yeassirrr your the man!
Does this mean we’ll be seeing you do the other 24 million Chad LB licks?
Because I’d love to see that.
Too good😂chad and nathan great partnership haha
Nothing like a chop break
He is a true CHAD
I like how he just shreds the grit solo at like 1.5x speed like it’s nothing
This is so relatable and encouraging lol
Yeah... ChadLB wastes no time with scrubs. The fact he even appears in this video means you are way better than even your audience know you are. Great job on this. And chad, you rock!
that is amazing
So accurate apart from the part that chad comes and gives me a magic pill
