@@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny haha wtf are you talking about he 😅
Thumbnail game just keeps getting better and better... 😂😂
weirder and weirder
Gotta do it for the views ya know
After 30 years, I actually agree with this! I find it more beneficial to practice what you Need to learn! This gives you a more flexible approach, progressing faster!
How do you tell what you need to learn
@@cjgreen4331 It depends on your circumstances! Your gigs for example! What You want to be able to play!
I've literally been writing and planning out a practice routine over 4 days now, and this video shows up. Gonna watch it later, but I'm scared
Nice profile, got that on my school mail
@@ludvigbroman8799 Ha, nice
Don't follow any one but yourself.??utuber can never misleading....
Ooffff same bro
@@waterfire8690 I agree completely, but Chad happens to be a successful pro musician, and I don't. Intuition doesn't work in this case
As a trumpet player, I find that I need a consistent routine and long term goals, but with your advice, I opened up a bit my large categories and mixed both long term and maintenance exercices in it, so that it's both getting my gears working and stimulating my mind, thank you!
Very useful tips and a great reminder Chad
Purchased your standard mastery bundle not too long ago, you're an inspiration dude. Please keep providing the world with such beautiful music and insightful learning experiences. I hope we can meet some day.
Thanks, these are very informative!
Chad, you are the Man! I have learned a lot and grew tremendously because of you books and content you're putting out there! Thank you!
Great tips as always! It's so true!
Hey Chad and Austin another great tutorial as always. Hi everybody. Hope you’re all having a great holiday season. Chad, thanks for sharing your levelheaded teaching ideas with us really appreciate it. Love and best wishes from Cy in Salt Lake City Utah USA 🇺🇸
Brilliant advice! Thanks, man!!
One of the best tutorials I have seen to date.
CLB Thank You for posting this video It has really allowed me to grow faster and experience more content. I honestly feel that a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and my practicing has become more fun and free!! Thank You Soo Much!!
chad you are amazing
This is really great. Thank you.
this is very insightful Chad, thanks!
Great content in this video, so helpfull. Thanks fom 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico, felices fiestas de Navidad y prospero año nuevo.🎷🎼🎶
I usually divide the upper time limit by 5 and use that as my guide for a daily practice. And use the 6th day to just play songs or whatever I want that helps keep my love for my instrument.
Gracias!!!
I've been on this practice method since this video came out am man is this a game changer. It has definitely taken most of the frustration out of my practice and has helped me get better MUCH faster than before. Each minute spent feels like a way better investment of my time and I don't feel like Im rambling anymore. For anyone who was hesitating to snap out of their current practice routine, I can vouch for what Chad is talking about in this video.
Thanks for sharing Chad. For a while I had a set practice routine, in some ways it was helpful. But other times it felt like I was just going through the motions of practicing. Everything you play can help with tone I think if you are aware.
But making things interesting and challenging can move you forward faster from my experience.
This is great advice.
Love!
Gold!
Thanks chad 🙏
Awesome video!
This video gonna blow up with all the fools hoping they don't need to actually practice
And all the fools who believe they can become great by practicing. Practice is 5% of what you "need"...

Good Chad. I´m an Old Guy and this advice has worked great for me for MANY years. For me recycling every 3 weeks is good,
but always keeping in mind that i can change up at any time. I will say that Eddie Harris said something that I feel is true,
" You will play (on the bandstand) what you practiced on that day. So be careful what you fill your head and fingers with on the day of the gig.
P.S. Your text lesson studio coupled with your books are certainly the way to go
Best answer ever to the most asked question in master class history period
Love the hair!
Very true!!
I've just figured this kind of principle myself after YEARS of beating myself of being lazy because of not sticking to any practice routine I've created for myself. I personally have 5 goals: jazz brushes, jazz independence, linear drumming chops, rudiments and metal drumming chops. Every day I try to reach numeric goal (pbm, minutes or such) and applicational goal (song, drum fill etc). In a month of doing so I have found practicing super fun and my playing has approved a ton. I don't know where it comes that we should practice like shaolin monks the same shit over and over again, but the 'myth' it definately exists :D Thanks for the awesome video, definately will subscribe you :)
Couldn't agree with you more. This fellow's insight on the general principles of practicing are broadly applicable. Truly impressive, big food for thought.
good job!
Love your vids bro
yessss
Immer super
This man is so chill. I'll have what he's having.
Is jazz bro, take a sip
Thank you for sharing such insightful advice with us, Chad! We love and appreciate you! Thank you! Love and appreciation to all! Please continue to stay safe and healthy! And happy holidays!
thank you
The key to becoming better is practice. The key to practicing is to DO IT.
Awesome content ! 👍 Thank you!!! What IS your mic you are using to speak and playing to record this video?
That’s a pretty insane skill to be able to “instantly transcribe something.” I transcribe a lot and when I really get into the style and nuance it still takes me an incredible amount of time even after years of doing it.
Do people use computer programs to slow it down in order to hear the notes better?
@@ctbojar I do lol. Or just RUclips
I was a very talented 1 year old once. And i practiced English (British) every day until i could understand almost any other fluent English person, without having to think about it.
Chad lookin like he’s been hittin the jazz cigarettes
I’m not qualified to say that I like this Sax set up better than the silver bell and neck model you play. But your one in a million Sir. All the books and woodshedding won’t get us to your level.
I am almost 50 years old, with zero musical background. I just started learning saxophone and I suck. But it's fun!
To me the nonmusical side of practice is just taking something simple and stretching it either physically just by extending it or mentally by doing compound number exercises like cycling through 2-3 scales ascending and/or descending using a number sequence (121314 etc) to pick out which degree of the scale and another progression (123123123) to pick out the scale. For a single line instrument this type of mental multitasking is incredibly strong in keeping you grounded when changes and tempo are super edgy.
My experience is that practicing period makes you a better musician, me personally the routine of practicing with my certain order did the world of good
This was extremely helpful. As a pianist which of your PDF packages would you recommend? Thanks!
The enemy of practice is stopping, for example, i soon as I start to get frustrated, I would stop playing (Im a guitarist). After a bit, I realized that if I just did something else before getting very frustrated, I would keep playing then after 2 min I could go back to the other thing and I would do better, so I’m always switching things around, playing whatever I want for fun. After all we’re playing, it should be fun. And ultimately that’s what it’s about.
Have fun in the practice room and you’ll practice for 8 hours without noticing.
Ngl i can't even make it past the introduction. Keep rewinding it back everytime. About to actually watch the video now 😂
Cool, I was there at the masterclass in the outskirts of Russia
Хау воз ит?
This would be amazing if available for guitar players who read tab.
good good goood content. Wow
The best musicians don't get really great by practicing alone at home for hours ---- they get great by playing live in front of an audience, or playing and recording professionally as studio musicians. For them it's a job where the pressure is on to be your best. This is true for classical musicians as well as jazz, rock, country or any other genre you can name. Practice for them is just warming up and keeping their playing muscles in shape. Nothing will make you get better fast than being put into a pressure situation where you have to play at your highest level, and nothing will teach you how to improvise more than jamming with other musicians.
@ 8:57 topics are discussed
Parker practiced 12 hours a day for almost 5 years. The rule of thumb is 10,000 hours of practicing the right way and you might be able to hang with Chad on a king of the mountain improv stage.
I just bought a lot of Omni books that I’m about to dive into. For #3 and transcription can I get a bit clarification. I know you said you memorized the songs and solo, but do you mean that you memorized them by sight singing first, or did you just memorized them on your instrument?
If anyone don't believe in alliens here on earth, this guy is the living proof they exist!!!
My biggest fight right now is having the TIME to practice without being interrupted by life. So I leave the instrument out and play whenever I can grab some free time. Repertoire is tough to maintain when you work full time and own your first home. Play every chance you get folks.
Not it’s not. Make time not excuses.
Hi Chad, which saxophone do you use ?
🎉
Hi
Interesting video and discussion. One cautionary thought to share: when a 16 yo asks Chad LB about whether he has a practice routine, the answer should not be whether Chad has a practice routine now, but rather, did Chad have a practice routine when he was 16 yo and/or at the same level of proficiency as the 16 yo asking the question. Chad may have had a practice routine when he was 16 yo (I don't know), and that helped him to get where he is today. It's not as much "what is Chad doing now (practice-wise)?" I think the better (maybe more accurate) question is, what was Chad doing (practice-wise) 13, 14, 15 years ago....
I'd love to hear you perform on an Alto
U still need a practice routine, though it can be ever revised. Actually, what your saying is a practice routine that does change thru time….
Chad, does this apply to all forms of musical genres??
He'll never answer your question
hi Chad, just wanted to tell you a bit about me and then ask you if you could or any of your stuff would help me. i never played anything really for 54 yrs. i just had rhythm and a ear for music. i got my sax and never had a teacher as i really cannot find one in my country. i thought my self and now i would like to be better. i am 57 now. i don't read music. but i can very slowly get by reading simple tunes. i play every thing as i hear. so pls hep by telling me if you could help. i don't necessarily want to be like Charli but i know i can get way better at this. thanks for reading. my best to you and your team saku, ( if you cant help too i will understand.:) )
Men , when you say you had been playing since you were a kid, I feel discouraged . I'm 39 and just started a few months 😅
Sweatshirt is kind of expensive.. do you get a discount if you subscribe to your Channel... Love your music
Están en castellano?
same than physical training cycles training
Nice thumbnail
The question should be how should I practice to accomplish a task
saxologic did a cool video about it
Is this course strictly for sax players?
Calling out JazzMemes! lol
I'm just kidding, of course, and this is great advice, and a good overall structure.
what are the "outskirts of Russia"
Oh, Laby be good 13:55
How to shred like chad lb?
he has done vids on this, it has to do with melodic cells
just playing chord tones and wrapping them with enclosures, a bit of chromaticism. Now do that super fast. Check out some bebop songs and slow them down a lot, you've probably heard everything before, it's just super sped up. Or that's how I learned at least.
the 5 topics kinda are a practice routine....
I dont
This is still a routine tho LoL.
I feel stucked in my sax.... y want to play jazz so bad... but i dont know how to start... i usually play pop music and jazz standarts... i can play altissimo notes too... but i feel sad listening to musicians like Chad.. his level is from another planet... sorry my english im From Argentina
😁👏🎧🎶🎵🎼🎹
Chad, I must admit that I leave every one of your videos feeling both good and bad! Good because your wisdom, style and demeanor are incredible. I sincerely wish I found you 30 years ago. Bad because I am later in my life, still have a very busy career and realize that unless you dedicate all of your attention to the instrument, you’ll simply embarrass yourself trying to play in front of people who have the time/ability to do so. Is it possible to simply learn to play by ear without having to be able to think at the speed of light to determine which notes to play? Or am I wasting my time even trying? Trying to figure out numbered notes in endless scales in the heat of the moment seems to require the brain of a rocket scientist and an advanced degree in music theory from Berkeley. No wonder so few kids want to play anymore...is there a middle ground or do you need to be a professional to enjoy this instrument?
My advice to you: just keep putting in the effort, even if it’s only 30 minutes a day. Practice with a clear goal, focus, and consistency and you will see yourself making progress. As Chad mentioned in this video, you want to get to the point where you no longer have to think when you play. This requires a considerable amount of practice which leads to muscle memory. Notice how many times he mentioned memorization in this video.

El proposito de vídeo es que las personas puadan entender que la práctica y el aprendizaje son necesarios pero no deben estar ligadas a una rutina de estudio de el mismo material por largas horas todos los dias. A mayor variedad, más oportunidades de enriquecer y ampliar el lenguaje musical vas a tener. Cada cabeza es un mundo y responden muy diferentes a estímulos de aprendizaje, unos más rápidos y otros más lentos. Unos necesitarán más tiempo para asimilar conceptos pero no quiere decir que no puedan aprender. No me gusta el estilo de comentarios y críticas sarcásticas que no conducen a nada constructivo. Por eso lo pienso mucho para entrar en clases online, pueden ser más destructivas que constructivas.
"Tell me Guapo..What is a Plethora?"
a phrase which means, " a lot of" in formal english.... at least thats how i got it:)
Didn't know Jesus teaches jazz. ;-)
Maybe I play scales and arpeggios too much.............
Oh well...
All I have to say is hair😳
He ain't a chad for no reason
Gigachad needs no practise
to be honest i dont even practice yet im like the top of my instrument lol
Imagine how good you could be if you practiced ;)
Post a video or you're a lying bag of
This comment reeks of high schooler
not to be mean but that's probably just a combination of no one else practicing, and you being talented
You're only the top in your region, I was the top in my school for years, and I got roasted, destroyed immediately upon graduating. I realized I'm trash, and now I practice constantly to at least transform my trash into decent smelling garbage
