If anyone wants another way to think of the first exercise, the first five notes of each 8-note cell are 12354 of whatever mode you're on, and the last three are just an enclosure starting a whole-tone above the target note of your next 8-note cell.
After playing decades of classical piano scales I find this approach refreshing. Makes your brain work differently. And suddenly now I understand those bebop motifs better. Thanks!
Chad, great opening. I was just saying I'm so tired of the endless YT ads that start asking how frustrated you are as a musician (and one was just before this video!). Keep up the great work in sharing good things to work on with us.
I was pretty confused by the diagram at 6:00 because he combines two separate actions into one. You're not going down two half steps. You're going down a single half step twice. It's confusing because he represents this with a single red line but it should be two separate lines
First saw this video recently after it came out and I can confirm that the first exercise has indeed stuck with me and strongly influenced how I think about enclosures. One might say it changed my life. I've been working on a variation of the exercise with triplets instead of eighths/sixteenths and it has definitely been making the construction of triplet lines MUCH easier!
Thank you Chad. You are a thorough and talented educator as well as a bad ass player! I appreciate your easy and laid back style as well. I know how difficult it is to convey information in a sequential, musical and meaningful way from putting together content myself. It’s really generous of you to share some of your knowledge and musical approach with the UA-cam audience. Hope your classes fill up quickly :)
Well...once again you've hit the nail on the head. Just signed up for lessons. There's a metric ton of info just in this video, Chad. Thank you for your generosity! To any improvisor, working on * just these three things* will really help a lot. Looking forward to working with you, Mr. LB.
Saw exercise 1 on your 10 warm ups video, it's harder than I thought it'd be on trombone, especially in the lower register :) Thanks for all the excellent stuff you share freely!
Excellent Video Sir! The Intro is almost misleading - It's a good thing I've learned through the years never to judge a book by looking at the cover lol. Thanks again for sharing this Sir.
Chad, love these exercises. I once saw an exercise I think you created where you arpeggiate chords to various songs like "All the Things 'That" Are." Can you tell me where I can buy those lessons?
Hi Chad, really awesome material as always ! Your videos have helped me improve so much, thanks again! A few ideas for topics that I think you might have not covered yet: You've covered diminished scales quite a bit, but how about a video on: Altered scales vs. diminished and how / why you'd use one vs. the other ? How to improve your sound (long tones, overtones ,etc.) ?
Here's how I would explain the first exercise. Starting at each scale degree you do a diatonic 12354 of the chord tones, then you do a 4-note chromatic surround of the next scale degree up
On the Phrase Workout I think it sounds better to enclose the final Bb with D Db C A Bb rather than D C B A Bb. That way you get a scale tone (C) on the down beat, rather than a b9 (cool over a dominant chord, but not as good with a Maj7?). The full phrase would thus have scale tones on every down beat: Bb G F Eb D C Bb = 1 6 5 4 3 2 1. To my ears that sounds better over the major chord than the phrase shown which has these notes on the downbeats: 1 6 5 4 3 b9 1.

6:14 - Enclosure exercise (ascending)
6:57 - Enclosure exercise (descending)
10:25 - phrase workout
12:39 - Enclosure around root in Blues
AYOO THE INTRO IS FIRE LMAO
Agreed
These videos are the best because they’re not too long, have actually usable exercises, and fantastic examples of what correct usage sounds like
Dude.. Chaz Rocks!!

The descending version is exactly the same, but it's 12312 instead of 12354.
Hola bro George thank you. This makes it more clear. You are like a teacher to me explaining the inside of a book
@@mthandazobaleni6906 Absolutely brother, happy practicing!

Stoked to hear from your Bro Chaz🎷🤣 Thanks 🙏

Is your brother Chaz giving private lessons right now? He seems to know what he's talking about.
Excellent presentation showing how enclosures and chromaticism work for everyone!
Thank you Master!!!
awesome material, man!
Best wishes from Brazil.
Clear. Concise. Helpful. Thanks!
Great!
The real eye opener. This is actually the first time I start to understand your teaching

Seriously, thanks for all this info, super helpful!
Great Chaz .
Bro you described my current dilemma perfectly at the beginning. This is so helpful
Intro gives me Saxologic vibes

How he would say: Yessir🤣🤣🤣
Molto molto interessanti, grazie
Cool video
Your workshops are really amazing
That opening cracked me up!! As guitar player, your videos have changed my mind. Always great stuff. Thnx for what you do man!
This information and your great teaching is like finding gold !! Now back to practricing it. Thank you !
Thank you Chazz's brother.Time to go practice.

Phrase 2 should be B natural 3rd note from the end (enclosure). Love your videos
You have come along just at the right time and breathed new life into my sax playing, thank you so much!!
Thanks for making content that seems mysterious so clear. Now I just have to practice...

Very nice Chad,
Love it man. You are an inspiration.
Love the exercises!
Thanks for this excellent lesson!

Chads videos just don't stop getting better
Just what I needed
Great video!
Super intro..
That's the best intro ever. Haha.
Saw exercise 1 on your 10 warm ups video, it's harder than I thought it'd be on trombone, especially in the lower register :) Thanks for all the excellent stuff you share freely!
I LOVED the INTRO!
As always, you da man, another great lesson !

Gigachad LB
Da Encloblues yeah!
You sound like a pro. Let me know if you have any music for E flat alto saxophone.
The intro is goated man lmaaaaao
Excellent Video Sir! The Intro is almost misleading - It's a good thing I've learned through the years never to judge a book by looking at the cover lol. Thanks again for sharing this Sir.
good for piano too
Sounding great as always
Chaz should be in more vids
Chad, love these exercises. I once saw an exercise I think you created where you arpeggiate chords to various songs like "All the Things 'That" Are." Can you tell me where I can buy those lessons?
Lmaoooo the beginning I’m gone
I’d buy protein mixes and vitamin supplements from Chazz LB.

thank you
Chaz was AWSOME! LOL
Chad’s PDF books for these are 10 Warmup Exercises for Jazz Musicians and 15 Approach Note Exercises.
Was that Freddie Hubbard playing the licc on Bolivia at the beginning?
Awesome, as usual, + Action!
The intro is the best part
0:06 the licc for live
Are these exercises from the “Melodic Chromaticism book/digital download?”
Thx
Chad's Beard game is on point.
Do you have jazz chord music for alto saxophone in E flat.
Hey chad, what mouthpiece are you using here?
Fire intro 🔥🔥🙊🙊
Good stuff ! Thank you!
🤣LOL, Great intro! Great sound!
Here's how I would explain the first exercise. Starting at each scale degree you do a diatonic 12354 of the chord tones, then you do a 4-note chromatic surround of the next scale degree up
Dear Chad.how can I skip the underlines. They covers the notes and arent necessery atall.
Amazing intro!!! Hilarious!

CHAZZZZZZ
You're a mad man. ;-)
Chaz is the evil Chad that asks you to like subscribe and hit bell notification as soon as the video starts
Wassup
@@ludvigbroman Sup
@@cjgreen4331 hows life?
@@ludvigbroman Same old same old. Lot of work, but also a lot of free time due to covid. How about you
@@cjgreen4331 same here a lot of school, only maybe a little less free time but its managable
nice shirt
Hahahah! Love this intro!
Did i hear the licc in the intro? :D
Drunk Chad mode on ahahaha
The amount of times i forget how to go down is fucked
I kinda miss Chazz in the latest videos
jazz itself changed my life though lol
studying louis armstrong 1920s solos and studying charlieparker had tremendous impact on my life.
I love how the add before the video was a lame saxophone teacher chick literally going “do you want to blah blah blah?”
Don't ignore the fact that he uses a boston sax shop mouthpiece pad
Rex Kwan Do!!,
Hilarious intro bro. Plz more laughing before we hear you play and start crying
who let saxologic run the intro
that’s me, mr. chromatic enhancement.. there’s not a safe whole step anywhere! 🎸🎷😎
It's as if James Franco and Dracula had a child.
Lol!!! 😅😅
dude plays so good but legit looks like the jazz jafar bro. im gonna write a tune for you called Vizier and ill email it to you
Funny... Listen to chad for 1min at 1.75 speed then go back to Normal speed
bull****! These exercises HAVE changed my life
12 view!
I rather like your "brother".
