Thank you kind sir!
you make the world a better place
Those exercises are great! I'm going to have to give them a go.. Thanks for sharing!!!

Great lesson Richie! Universal applicability to all instruments.
Cool . . . thx Paul!
This is kool Ritchie ! Did Woody ever tell you to play these exercises backwards , upside down and inside out too ! You gotta try it! Man there GRRRRRRRREAT !
No, but James Moody told me to do so 🤗
Woody was definitely one of the most gifted players to pick up the trumpet
Loving your video's, thanks for sharing the knowledge you have and practice patterns you have come up with. I was with Woody at the Abersold jazz camp in 76? He showed us some very cool "warm ups"! Also he and Joe Henderson performed each evening. Blew my mind!! I am about to order your book/books. I teach at Cal Arts in Los Angeles
Wish I was there . . . congrats on Cal Arts!
Thks

Jean Dury. Being extremely meticulous, I would like to mention a mistake in this Tube. Exercise 2 at 5.15 is not what you play and exercise 3 at 5.35 also but transcribe at 5.15.
Yes, you're correct...my mistake :-)
Which of your books covers these chromatic exercises? I'd like to purchase it.
First of all, let me apologize for not responding more quickly...I had over 130 comments there were held for "approval" I wasn't aware of.

"A Lyrical Approach to Jazz Improvisation" is the "blue" book with the Woody exercises in the back. It is primarily a theory book and very useful in understanding what is occurring when you improvise. That book is at my store page:

Is this exercise in your book ?

Thanks for sharing! As a guitarist,I think this would be more of a technical workout, maybe not so much range??? Hope you are well God loves you deeply Shalom 🎸 🔊🏞️🏔️⛰️🎊🎇🎉🎆✨🐕🎈🎷🎶🎵📯
Great lesson! I'm a Woody fanatic but never got to meet him, I always wondered what he practiced!? Did he have a warm up routine?

Woody showed my exercises, I didn't ask him about his warmup but assumed this was part of it. Odd that they were so symmetrical and Woody's playing was symmetrical.
But it just goes to show you how rooted he was in basics and technique along with a fantastic mindset for improvising!
Just bought both of your books and I have found them very useful. There is plenty of material here to keep you busy improving your playing for years! Really have been enjoying the chromatic exercises. I like the way they work seamlessly from low to high (by breathing through your nose a la Caruso) so that you don't reset for the different registers. They're a real "face fry"! Haha! Just curious, did Woody show you those or are they your own?
Thanks Man!
It's such a habit now, I breath thru the sides on my mouth when performing with big bands. Thx for purchasing!
Hi Jeff, Woody Shaw showed me that (with those very exercises) and a very good trumpeter in Boston called Jeff Stout! (Sorry I didn't answer earlier.)

Hi Richie, just curious?
How did you connect with Woody as a student?
I used to try to emulate his phrasings.
As a guitar player, I found his melodic and rhythmic note choices incredible.
Does he still teach?
Lastly, did he give you any methods or approaches ala Barry Harris?
Just Sub'd!
@@spicer41282 Im sure he's teaching his ass off on heaven. He died in the late 80s I believe.
Nice exercises. I think you should make it avaiable for download in PDF or JPG. In video, the image are blurred
Thx Marcus,
I've taken screenshots to test the readability and if take the shot while viewing full screen the screenshot is legible but a little blurry (some better than others).
The Chromatic, Three Little Words and 4th/5th Exercises are all available in my book "A Lyrical Approach to Jazz Improvisation" in book and ePub book form (in great resolution) available here: www.richievitale.com/store
The money is used to make more videos and to upgrade and maintain camera and equipment and I'm thinking of writing a third book (3 years worth of work).
If I decide to put up all the PDFs people have requested I would have to do it on a subscription level. I may eventually do that, but I'd like to make a few more videos.
Hello Richie. I did that you suggested but still blurred. But Im getting the readings anyway. Wish you luck in your next books. Happy new year

I would see Woody play at the Vanguard Vanguard and the Village Door and just asked him if I could study with him. I would drive my '73 Duster to his home in Newark for the lessons.
Hi Richie,
You are dedicated and fantastic on jazz practice, sorry not my style, still fantastic.
Chet Baker my house gud would never practice this, he and me is to lazy!
Keep practice, Thanks//JohnnyDBergh

Yep, I love Chet too. That's the great thing about jazz...there's something or someone for everyone 😎
Is there anyway to download your Woody Shaw Chromatic Exercises?
Hi Jeff, I tell people they can make the video full screen and take a screen shot of the exercises.
Also, the exercises are in my book, "A Lyrical Approach to Jazz Improvising" available here: www.richievitale.com/store I'm sorry, I haven't made downloadable PDFs as the Kindle and ePub books are copyright protected.
But I'll be making more videos shortly as I'm working hard to finish my 3rd book. Thx for asking and stay posted!

What mouthpiece do you use?
Hello there, I'm using a Giardinelli mouthpiece that was given to me. I was told it is based on cornet player’s Lorenzo Greenwich mouthpiece.
@@RichieVitale I don't know the mouthpiece. I can know if it's narrow, wide, deep or shallow. Possible correspondence with some better known mouthpiece?
intro song title please
Hi Maj, it's a rough mix of an original song called "Siga Pa' Lante" (Straight Ahead) which I hope to release soon. Thx for asking!
I feel like I'd like you to be more explicit concerning what about these exercises is improving your range and endurance. It might be obvious to some based on what you shared, but to me I must have missed it completely.
Hi Benjamin, I may not have been clear enough in this video as there was a lot of material to cover, and some of it gets left on the cutting room floor :-)
1:00 minute in I mention the exercises Woody played covered the full range of the trumpet.
It's important to start mid-range but I do often play in the upper register to keep my range intact during a practice session, though I'm not obsessive about it. I think tone is, as always has been, my first consideration.
4:20 min into the video I speak about a method Woody showed me . . . that being starting where you left off in an ascending exercise. Jeff Stout also showed me this technique using the Schlossberg Method Book.
6:00 min in I mention you picking your own personal equipment (mouthpiece and trumpet) to make the best of your endurance and range.
In my book "A Lyrical Approach to Jazz Improvisation" I mention how I practice these exercises (or any exercises I use for range and endurance) and I may not have mentioned it here. That is:
To keep the mouthpiece in place and not shift it as you play higher. That is achieved by breathing thru the nose or quickly thru the sides of the mouthpiece while keeping it in the same place on your lips.
I hope this helps . . . .
These are fantastic, thanks so much for sharing!
