Was thinking the same HAHA

I am glad I'm on the right track. I have been using this approach and gaining traction now over a few standards. Had to break things down even simpler at first just stuck to 1/4 notes and chord tones till I got the basic arppeggios down. Then slowly add just one beat of eighths then the same at different locations within the bar leading to eventually being able to do the whole bar in eighths. Now beginning to add triplets and later will move on to sixteenths. You can do the same with scale tones. I.e. just add a scale tone passing note between chord tones at say beat 2 ,at whatever rhythm designation your working on and apply this to each chord. I have been using the same approach with encircling also. Another great lesson thanks!

SAXOLOGIC!!!

A HUGE thank you for this Chad. I've been looking for insight into playing fluidly and developing coherent 8th/16th note lines for ages. So grateful! Keep shredding!

Chad, great video as usual! Very informative!

This is really helpful. I’ve been considering switching my major to jazz and trumpet, and this could definitely give me an edge!

Chad, awesome tutorial, great approach, thank you. I found it very helpful and comprehensive. Greetings from 🇩🇪

Hi Chad, I whatch your videos as a bass player, and I think that the way you articulate the notes on the saxophone (melodically) is similar to the way bass players do. I 've already bought a few of your books written in bass clef. Some of the line are a bit tricky and also challenging to be played on bass,. your explanations are minimalist and get straight to the point. LOVE IT !! "Bassophonics" congrat.

How come someone dislikes such good material? Great, as always

Thanks for the awesome content! Would you be willing to do more song analysis or Roman Numeral analysis videos?

Damn dude great lesson. I can play bass solo now

What he said at 6:47 is what I needed to hear in middle school

When you play through the chords like that 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 it sounds a lot like the great Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young’s style. What is the difference between this chordal approach and a strictly linear approach? I feel this approach helps you learn what the chord changes are far better than trying to play something linear through it.

I have a question, is it better to get either the standard package or the practicing standards masterclass? It seems to me that you cover all the topics from the package on the masterclass

the jesus joke came very unexpectedly :-D

Please explain how to improvise on different harmony sounds like 6th, 7th, 9th,

What is your thought process on a tune as burning as Cherokee? I understand the concepts and exercises you speak of in this video, but to make scales and arpeggios to sound like language and like you are saying something has been my struggle. I can copy all these licks from the greats like Dexter Gordon, Ritchie Cole, Vincent Herring (imo), Parker, Stitt/Rollins, etc. It's developing my own language at speeds like Cherokee that I have trouble with.

1. Play arepggios through the standard - Add the 9th to allow continuous eighth notes - Vary the shape 2. Improvise w/ only scale notes

@UkuleleAversion

@@EWormMusic You change scale for each chord. Sometimes there’s more than one option for example you can play whole tone, half-whole diminished, altered, lydian dominant, mixolydian #5, mixolydian b9b13 or plain ol’ mixolydian on a dominant chord. I think that’s seven options just for the dominant and that’s excluding bebop scales which just add 1 or 3 chromatic passing tones to make the chord tones (1357) fall on the downbeat when you play the scale up and down.

I am in a jazz school, we are playing so long Eric, Four Brothers, Work song, etc. I am lousy playing the chord changes. I need help. I like your approach, but you are so good. I want to be good like you. Please be my teacher.

Hey Chad! I love watching your videos for inspiration on what to practice! However, I find it hard to get through a practice session sometimes because of my tone. I don't feel like I'm getting any closer to my goal of being able to play out because I'm really conscious of my sound. I know that there is no magical way to get a good tone other than lots of practice. Would you possibly be interested in doing a video on how to improve your tone and how to break bad habits?

Not Chad, he doesn't do that, but lots of sax KZreadrs try to sell you stuff. I can show you how to use a Stanley knife blade to fix warped reeds and to tweak them. A blade is a blade, you don't need to give anyone £90 bucks for a sharp object.

Mark Tyler I’ve used a blade previously but I prefer the Reedgeek because of the profiling blades on it and it’s much easier to hold and manipulate than a blade. It’s £65 not £90. Once it saves 18 reeds going in the bin it’s paid for itself, but each to their own I guess.

@@alanhowell3646 Fair enough Alan, I suppose I'd that I could buy about 1000 blades for that price, and I can hold them just fine. There is a lot of testicular talk regarding sax playing, but whatever makes you happy. Chad is a gent, but there are plenty of YBers who relish the prospect of fleecing you (Jay), and I'd like people to know that giving 15% to (same) someone is not going to improve their sax playing any more than learning some simple techniques.

This exercise is surprisingly difficult to master.

He takes about 4 minutes to get into the lesson.

The video ACTUALLY starts at 6:18 Your welcome

I don’t want to sound butt hurt or anything, because I’m truly grateful for these videos you put out Chad, but what I hear you saying sometimes is if your playing isn’t world class then don’t play until it is. I could easily be misinterpreting your message, but the comment you made about what world class soloists, and even laypersons hear when you’re not hitting every single change kinda sounded to me like ‘don’t play cuz it isn’t good enough until you can’. In jazz it’s extremely important to hit changes, obviously. But We can’t all be Chad LBs so does that mean if we can’t hit every change the musicianship isn’t worth a damn? It sounds like perhaps you’re saying that, but I’m probably about to get roasted in the comments for being off about that. For me, being able to play most of a tunes changes fluently and intelligently has taken a lifetime and I still can’t do it perfectly, at all... but if you’re telling me that there are no great jazz solos out there where the player soloed and didn’t already fully understand the chord structure of the song then I would have to disagree.... it’s always great to strive for perfection but that isn’t possible for most of us, and that shouldn’t have to mean don’t play jazz. In my opinion there are other acceptable approaches. Again, could be totally misinterpreting your attitude towards lesser musicians. Probably am.... in fact, I know that a big part of what you do is because you enjoy helping others become self actualized musicians like you’ve become. And again, love your videos. Thanks again 🙏

yeah I think you are completely misinterpreting what he said. I believe he is basically saying to be meticulous about your practice etiquette with this cause even great musicians struggle. You can tell when someone knows what they're doing, and when they're "faking" for lack of better words.

To me Chad's message in this video is 'Less is More', but that's not per sé 'easier'. Chad played great lines with only 1-3-5-7-9 and it didn't sound like that; so his lines didn't sound 'fake', but natural/organic.

This guy should have his own Jesus candle! Coming to a car crash near you!

The time is short and you might not have another day to live or another breath to breathe. Follow Jesus Christ and repent of all your sins because He shed his blood for you and God loved you so much to do this for the chance that you can go to Heaven. Do not let the Devil deceive you and bring you into Hell with him.

Five minutes in and all you’ve done is make pitches for your other stuff. Sorry, that’s enough.
