Man, I consider this book a real Omnibook, because for guitarists it serves as a way to build individual melodic lines over any Jazz Standard, it helps understanding and creativity.
I'll leave a review since I purchased this book last night: When many people see that using strict arpeggios is one of the methods, they might think "that's easy, I could do that!" I've always thought it was the opposite. Playing arpeggios straight up and down without rhyme or reason might get some of the sounds into your ear, but it won't help you with your melodicism. If you just look at how Chad LB handles basic 7th chords, you might be in awe (I was). He is able to weave, change direction, and create actual melodies with straight arpeggios in the first etude of every tune. I dunno about you, but making arp's musical is hard work. And that's just the first etude. Excellent book. My only gripe is that he's playing the tracks against a backing track. I guess that keeps the cost down, so I won't focus on that too much. Go out and get this PDF series while the 75% off sale is still hot! Go, get it now. Your ears and fingers will thank you :)
This video changed my life for ever and ever. The first time I saw it was in April maybe, my playing improved I an way I thought impossible! Thanks Chad!!
Bought the new year package today. Can't wait for the weekend to start working on it. Playing more standards lately and this is exactly what I need to practice right now.
Hi Chad, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have been on the journey trying to play standards well, and you are providing a fantastic roadmap. Practise time is a real blast now.
Man, I consider this book a real Omnibook, porque para guitaristas serve sobre maneira para a construção individual de linhas melódicas sobre qualquer Standard de Jazz, ajuda na compreensão e criatividade individual. A bíblia verdadeira para o crescimento como músico e improvisador. Obrigado Professor Chad Lb, você foi muito precioso no conteúdo, serei eternamente grato
I was there for your concert for JEN, it was an amazing performance “I’ll never go back to Reno” haha. Glad I was able to stumble across your RUclips Channel to listen for more!
Thank you for sharing the information Chad. Just keep on those great knowledge charing videos you make. People, his mouthpiece and neck is nothing more than lots of practice hour a day during several years, until he is a very old man!
Yo Chad L.B. , I would like to say thanks for your mentoring, guidance and instruction on jazz saxophone improvisation. I visit your channel, Scott Paddock and the Better Sax pretty regularly. Oh.. and I can't forget my man Dr. Wally Wallace -- I mean, it is pretty DAMN INCREDIBLE to have such superb sax coaching literally a"point/click" away. Ill be sure to sign up for your class as soon as I am able.
Chad...I want to get this for guitar. I think this will really help me. It makes perfect sense. I've been struggling and hit a plateau. You're a great player and you make it seem so easy which i know it's not but you just have to put the work in. Thanks!
Hi Chad, I never really know how to prepare to go to a jazz bar, how to confidently establish the beginning such as how to count in, and what level of competence I should have with a song before playing it. What communication should be going on while playing the song. How to communicate how the song is going to end, etc. Also if I wanted to just improvise on a simple chord structure, what is the best way to get everyone on board.
I just got the new year package. Do you an advice on which out of the four exercises better to start with ? (I allready play the 10 warmup exercises since a while). It is better to masterise the 15 approach note ex's before doing the tune practices ? Thanks !!
Thanks so much Chad! Question: Do you have any videos on remembering tunes for long periods of time, aka tune maintenance?? Seems tough to do without performing jazz standards as much these days.
Hey Peter, check out my videos on the Roman numeral system/tune analysis. That to me is the best way to improve your aural understanding of chord progressions in a way that they will stick with you!
How are you Chad, I am an immigrant in South Africa and cannot access a bank account online. I want to buy some pdf. Please tell me if there is another way I can deposit the money. Thanks🙏
You could actually use either one :) trumpet will be written in the lower-mid clarinet range, and tenor sax will be written more in the mid-high range.
Chad are you using much articulation on these? Or keeping the tonguing to a minimum...it sounds like you're accenting it but I understand sometimes that is the rhythm of it more than articulation.
Parker’s White mouthpieces were a Runyon 22 & a Brilhart Streamline. This is neither, it’s a modern 3D printed Syos custom made to Chad’s specification.
David Draghici there is a difference. Alto is better to start on because you need stronger embochure and air to play it. Tenor is in Bb and Alto is in Eb. If you can play alto you can play all the other saxes fairly easily.
@@kensword73 But if i'm a 14 year old,can i play tenor sax? Would tenor be very physically demanding for me? In the beginning is it easier to learn on the tenor or alto? I like more the tenor sax.
David Draghici tenor is that big. It’s not very physically demanding. Alto is a lot more demanding in terms of skill, which is why I prefer to start on alto, which I did start on. I believe alto has a higher difficulty than tenor just in general. Both instruments are very similar, only different in size and the amount of air you have to put through it and stronger embochure for alto. Since alto is a smaller instrument it requires a little more embochure control and air speed focus over the tenor. I’d say tenor is easier to start on but I would prefer to start on alto because of the difficulty level allowing you to easily transfer to other saxes. I started on alto and tenor and Bari are relatively easy to switch around on.
i mean im sure he does in certain situations, but there's points in the phrasing here that would naturally have a break anyway, so he might was well take an actual breath
It affects tuning and tone. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I can but I have never done so on a gig. If its something your interested in try practising with a straw and glass of water. Good luck

Could you make an instructional video for beginners in improv, approach to practicing scales/arpeggios, playing changes, etc?
You just need to now the basics. Major scales and triad chords + inversions... natural minor scale, harmonic minor an melodic minor scales...
Buy this! It’s not the scales you need to learn it’s the language ;)

‘Charring’ is right, this guy burns! ;)
this guy is a beast!
You play effortless, so smooth and immaculate soundss
That tone! Awesome!
Ditto!

Hiya Chad, I’m a flautist and I think what you do is just great. I play both classical and jazz.
Keep up the good work 🎼🎶🎵
Nice sound and professional improvisation!
Great stuff Chad!

Absolutely amazing, got a lot of good stuff to shed, thanks for sharing!
i like this stuff a lot, thanks for your awesome work.
Thank you so much for these exercises! I'm learning a lot from them and understanding much better Jazz Improvisation. Really helpful
The Giant Chad!
Indeed. His unassuming and humble demeanor belies a monster :)
Thank you!!! Love the examples!
greaaaat video! greatings from Uruguay
So happy I just found your channelz your playing is amazing 😍
Swinging Man!! liked it..

I'm wondering too
Hey I’m no pro but I think the best way is just to go to the place you want to eventually perform at and just watch how the house musicians do it
Thank you!
Чувак, ты очень мощный, красавчик, Чарли до сих пор жив)
Thanks for the ideas, one of your other vids had this idea that has opened up my thought, arigato
Some reason your mouthpiece reminds me of a sock lol
Eric Fornaro OMG he just did :D

Super!

Wow, you sound fantastic. If you sounded any better I might toss my horn in the river. Good tips, more people should teach like you.
Thanks so much Chad! Question: Do you have any videos on remembering tunes for long periods of time, aka tune maintenance?? Seems tough to do without performing jazz standards as much these days.
Hey Peter, check out my videos on the Roman numeral system/tune analysis. That to me is the best way to improve your aural understanding of chord progressions in a way that they will stick with you!
Thanks Chad, I'll check that out (again?)! I've heard this from several pianists as well, but have never implemented in my tune learning career.
Oh yeah yeah
How are you Chad, I am an immigrant in South Africa and cannot access a bank account online. I want to buy some pdf. Please tell me if there is another way I can deposit the money. Thanks🙏
thanks a lot .but i don't have a credit card .is there any other way to do it?
forget about the mouthpiece and pay attention to this great information!
Hi Chad Fabulous sax as usual .Are the pdfs download able from I can't seem to find any link here. Thanks
Dude....your're too good! You need a habit beside practising the saxophone. Just kidding of course....awesome post
Why don’t you put the video on RUclips to see the concert where you came from. Thanks
Sorry Chad don't want to be a dummy but which standard is Stable Crates? Also love your educational materials
There is a Stablemates version on The New Miles Davis Quintet. A great, classic recording of the Benny Golson tune.
Alaric was your time. I’m diggin it
what's that slick neck you got there? looks and sounds absolutely wicked!
Hey! Clarinet players should buy the trumpet or the tenor sax package?
You could actually use either one :) trumpet will be written in the lower-mid clarinet range, and tenor sax will be written more in the mid-high range.
@@ChadLefkowitzBrown Ok thanks! Maybe I'll buy both XD
Just Great !.....what neck are you playing ??
Why not just ad a link to your site?
Hi chad. . Do you have step by step full course?
1.Buy an Instrument
2.Open YT
3.search Chad LB Chanel
4.Start practice
Chad are you using much articulation on these? Or keeping the tonguing to a minimum...it sounds like you're accenting it but I understand sometimes that is the rhythm of it more than articulation.

What kind of Mouthpiece is that ? Looks like one Bird used
I looks like a Syos mouthpiece
Parker’s White mouthpieces were a Runyon 22 & a Brilhart Streamline. This is neither, it’s a modern 3D printed Syos custom made to Chad’s specification.
Wow... what mouthpiece is that ?????
Adrian Delgado Syos
Chad, thanks a lot for your insight!
I want to ask you kindly to speak a cleaner English, so also non-naitive speakers (as I am) could understand you.
Great video! Also what neck strap are you using?
Is that a SYOS 3D-printed mouthpiece?!
Yes it is !
Are the tracks downloadable/playable on iPad Pro??
Ola Chad, which mouthpiece are you using and which vane, thank you and hug
Agostinho Barros Syos CLB
I want to buy this for guitar, would that be the Concert version? Thanks
Yes, we wrote the concert version to match guitar and piano range appropriately. Thanks and enjoy!
Chad Lefkowitz-Brown thank you
What is moutchpiece name?wich regards!
it's a syos. www.syos.co/en

Should I start playing sax with tenor or alto? Is there a difference between the 2?

David Draghici but if you prefer tenor you can go for it. Most people prefer tenor and just stick with it.
Man, what mouthpiece do you use?
Антоха Паршин syos custom
is there some reason why you don't circle breathe?
i mean im sure he does in certain situations, but there's points in the phrasing here that would naturally have a break anyway, so he might was well take an actual breath

how about a video on how to get great hair like yours! ;)
What mouthpiece are you using?
Christian Ciciriello looks like a Syos!
It’s a Syos custom, you can get his exact model on the syos website.

Love everything you do, but can you slow down your speech a bit. Your voice often fades at the end of many of your sentences.
