I’m studying to enter the Lemmensinstituut (Belgium) this summer. I’m 49, took 20 years off. My tutor is Tim Bogaert. Cedric Delvaux offered a lesson (which ended up in 2.5h! - the honor 🙌🏻🙌🏻) and I’ll be playing Händel (sonate 1) and Suite Hellenique (chosen by Cedric). I’m so humbled and honored and it’s my second chance at living my life after surviving breastcancer 🙏🏻. It’s never too late. Make your daily schedule, enjoy the process because you’ll never the level you have in your mind 😀
Key words: disciplined! patient! courage! Never too late!
You just outlined the shortcut to success.
“no one was born with an instrument in their hands” i like that.
did NOT expect to see La'Roy Bodiford up here!!!! what a cat
As a music ed major, there are some really insightful tips to teaching here
I downloaded a bunch of chads lesson and printed them out. You get a lot for your money. My playing has improved a lot from them. 2 thumbs up Chad!
Dear Chad (and Ryan), thank you so much for the 23:28 encouragement, you just gave me a huge boost. Love this video and all of the other Chads videos as well. Im already planning to share this knowledge once I get better myself, because the fact that you share about your skill and even work on spreading the knowledge of how to acquire it, is amazing.... Practicing saxophone daily for last year and a half made me realize, what does it really take to master anything in life and most importantly, that nothing special comes easy. You have to work to achieve, but the satisfaction of taking another step further is priceless and I believe that sharing and teaching this principle to the other people is probably even better.... Many thanks, huge fan of yours, keep it up Chad!!! :)
All of this is so helpful and inspiring. Memorising the chord changes is definitely one of the best takeaways for me... you can practise that anywhere.
Joe interests me personally because I took about 7,years off but had a good reason as it was health related. Honestly we sound very similar in experience in high school.
I have not been playing sax for a year or so although I have been playing semi professional ly for sometime, now with Chad inspiration I am inspired to start up again. He's an inspiration.
Yo you taught ryan? Holy shit!!
I don’t play saxophone or any brass instrument. I play guitar and harmonica and I find your videos incredibly useful, thanks!
This dude is one of the best teachers of our time. Thanks Chad LB
It falls in guitar range very well, and better than most jazz guitar books.
He explains concepts in easy to understand format.
I second that.
Why do I feel like I should be paying money for this video? Thank you Chad.
Really great all those advices. I am a guitarist and I try to take advantage of what you say! I take advice from one of my best teachers, "try playing like a saxophonist!"
Jo is the MAN. I got to meet him at the inside outside saxophone retreat and he is incredibly inspiring!!
Hi Race! I wanna go inside outside again! Nice to hear from you, and hope you are well.
@@JoMajorSax yes I would love to go again. Hopefully we’ll both be able to go again soon!
Yes, Jo is really impressive. I am aiming for his skill level (probably at the same age).
Those army bunks were murder, though.
Great work Chad!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Would you consider re-mixing the sound for this video? The audio/video excerpts are often MUCH louder than your studio talk. I so love your teaching!
Ryan devlin is an absolute beast makes perfect sense..
The text lessons have helped so much! Really enjoying them!
This video is so inspiring. Thank you so much Chad for this.
I feel like I definitely need to sign up with you man, as I’m struggling with some deep issues that I feel I’m not even able to describe clearly, but I feel they all got to do with internalizing stuff.
Seeing Ryan play is always a pleasure! Great to know you taught him! I’ll have to take a few lessons with you Chad haha!
Great video. Very inspiring. And full of practical wisdom!
This is great, such fantastic players, I’m a guitarist but I get a lot from your videos
Great video Chad. Thank you students. You guys are all pro's.
Love watching you videos, not only because they're informative, but because you seem so positive, which is very inspiring. Anyhow, what would be interesting to hear, is where 'you' got these exercises from and your progress with a/your teacher.
Thanks a lot for this man, this video is a banger :)
Cool video. Nice to hear from your students!
Crazy inspiring!!!!
Very inspiring!
WHAT!!! I watched that Orlando gig a long time ago and didn’t know that Ryan was the other dude playing. That’s crazy
Always so inspiring. I plan to write some etudes and chromatic enclosure exercises for myself now. Thanks.
The Saxophone/Jazz Music Renaissance is ON FYAH today 🔥🔥🔥..thanks to cats like Chad L.B....(and his "brother" Chazz too!!)
this is sick thank you!
Excellent.
Excellent!!!!!!
Jo sounds great
WOW GREAT lecture/lesson!!! 😇
I just got to see Ryan at a jam session in my school last wednesday! He was awesome and I instantly recognised him when I saw this video
Ryan Devlin is an absolute beast
I dropped out of the text lessons before I was able to complete the first assignment. This is inspirational
What was the assignment?
Professor a sua aula e o seu método de ensino , é uma benção
Great video!
Great!
Why the hell does Chad LB Look like a giga chad
Really cool to see Jo on here! I got to meet him at Inside:Outside Retreat back in 2018. Really nice guy! Wonderful and inspiring video!
Hi Nathan! Yep I:O is a very special place, isn't it!!
I got to be honest Chad LB...I'd love to hear a longer interview with Joe...I'm 45 and a trumpet player in Jacksonville, FL and I am starting to learn improvisation as well....I'm also an engineer so his story really resonates with me
Hi Scott, this is Jo. I'd be happy to chat with you.
Beautiful
Amazing. I'm 37 and just started clarinet less than 2 months ago. I'll probably get on your program once my current instructor can't help me with anymore (he's classical and I want dat jazzzzz)
Obviously I am super late on your comment here, I hope you're study has gone well. One thing I will say as a sax player of over 25 years myself, and someone who studied privately and through universities. Classical is super important if you want to succeed in Jazz studies. I hated playing classical, but now I understand how that laid the foundation for my jazz studies.
@@MegamanGaming it has had a huge impact on my playing! I joined the local civic wind ensemble here in Austin and I played the Fall and Winter seasons. It's crazy how much I improved! I am taking a break from it now, because it's a lot of work, so I can focus my new skills into jazz development. I just signed up with Chad LB's text lessons, so we'll see how it goes.
Insane 😭
Big man can play
Great video. If the saxophone continuum is A to Z, I am just at A not just technically, but also in music theory. Do you have a progressive/sequential plan or refer me to a plan that would take me to B, to C, to D, etc. both from technical steps but also theory?
Hi Chad , I'am very happy
Everytime I see You On TH-cam. You are Good Jazz Player and a Good Teacher as well . Let me know What You Mean by
Playing alone together.
Thanks. 🙏
Ryan “the whippersnapper “Devlin.
Encouraging!
Chad you should do the same thing for other instruments!
Does anyone know what transcription Chad made Ryan play??
Definitely a few years’ worth of practice; I’ve made 90% of my progress with Chad’s materials over the past 3 years, but you will need to practice (to paraphrase him...low & slow!).
Do you think most of his material is also applicable to guitar (aside from ben eunsons 50 phrases)?
@@cx777o Yes, it's all in straight notation, with no real orientation to one instrument over another. However, there is no tablature or fretboard presentation. You probably have to a good ability to read straight notation to take advantage of the PDFs.
@@Osnosis okay sounds good, i just make use of my ears, at least i can hear the melodies out lol, but sightreading is absolute trash for me haha
holy s### please level the audio
11:03 killed me
Ha. I've played with LaRoi a few times.
Is it possible to send an email with a question or two about your teaching. I want to join but have some reservation based on past experiences with other teachers.
PRACTICE
What was Leroy playing before he knew how to play chord tones in changes? Playing by ear? Pentatonic?
I wasn’t focusing on chord tones as much as I was just playing by ear.
Do you get one on one coaching or is it only the books.. as in self teaching with the books?
It’s one-on-one, but you need to be able to record yourself in small amounts. I confess I just figured that out at a low level.
Lança uns métodos traduzidos para o português - BR.
Can your text lessons help someone who's only been playing for 5 months?
Just wondering if you also accept teaching instruments other than tenor. I play the trumpet but I’d like to learn more of the theoretical side of things which these guys learnt like the etudes and enclosures.
Yes, Chad works with musicians of all instruments in the studio! Check out the testimonials and sign up at: www.jazzlessonvideos.com/text-lessons
I'm not sure if you are reading this. However, this is a great video. I'm "Joe", I started as a clarinet player in high school and played a lot, for the most Dixieland and swing jazz. After a 30 years break, I started again some years ago. Then i also bought myself a tenor saxophone. I'm paying a little here and there, but I'm a terrible music reader, I always rely on my ear. I'm happy with my tone, but technically i'm not that good. I'm lucky as I'm able to play with a professional piano player and bass player.
So how to proceed?
Ryannnnnnn
Ok I’m kinda scared cuz as soon as I saw Ryan, in my head I said “Ryannnnnn” 😂
0:10 is that Can We Talk? by Tevin Campbell?!?!?!
Yes.
O problema é que eu não sei falar inglês
Hey. I wonder if saxophonists practice walking bass. Cheers
I think this is a really wonderful video, on so many levels. Really enjoyed it. However, what I really want to see and know: what did Jo do, and how? A more thorough interview with someone that effective (and humble!) would be a real gift to the music community. Is there any way to get in touch with him?
Hi Paul, this is Jo (the older guy trying to find his way on the horn). I'd be happy to chat with you if you'd like.
@@JoMajorSax Wonderful! I'll leave you a note and let's get in touch.
@@JoMajorSax Hi, Jo! Just want to let you know that you've been hugely inspiring to me! Was wondering if now that things have been getting back to normal-ish if those gigs are coming through for you now? Also, do you have a website/instagram page or anything where we can follow you and see when/where you may be performing live? Thanks! Hope you're well!
I am literally Jo but young, engineering student but I don’t want to put my saxophone down
Same but architecture student. I'm not stopping, I'll keep practicing till I die. I'm really shit at piano but I don't care, it's the best thing I have in my life.
@@GrumpyStormtrooper stick with it, I always wish I’d be good on piano
Lol, I'm actually old Jo! One of the really nice things about this music is all of the different things to learn, and yes, the real trick is loving the learning that comes with practice.
@@JoMajorSax Yes sir indeed! Music joins everyone together like nothing else does. It’s beautiful to know anyone can pick it up and with hard work play some beautiful jazz
I am also in a similar spot. I am a busy professional and family man now but played seriously in college 20 years ago. I took about 15years off the sax cold turkey. I started the text Lessons’s with Chad just this past winter and man is it helping get me back into shape. I think I’ve improved in the last few months more quickly then I ever did before. It’s NEVER too late to start or start again! I’m 44 and feel like an excited high school jazz geek again. If you want to play this music you can at any age. Especially when there are great tools and teachers like Chad available at your finger tips.
Question is ‘how’ do I memorize the changes? There’s plenty of ways to internalize them.
You make ‘blocks’ of tonal centers through analysis.
Leroy makes the tenor like small!!
Heroin addiction? It did wonders for Bird and Trane.
dont be a fool... it was the time on the horn... not the drugs
@@bluegoose555 That sounds like effort though. Be right back, gonna develop a heroin addiction.
@@UkuleleAversion LOL
Actually, Trane’s playing grew and evolved exponentially after he broke his addiction in early 1957 (he said so himself!)
@@bounderby99 I know, I read Eric Nisenson's biography of him. I was making a joke.
