As a guitarist, great to have vocabulary from other instrumentalists. Guitarists tend to use pentatonics a lot and it can be difficult to make these sound fresh on the instrument.
Hey Chad, it’s a super hard time right now for a lot of musicians and I’m finding it doubly hard to be inspired with the lack of live music and the ability to play with people regularly. So thank’s for sharing stuff with a variety of examples which we can practice and then transpose and alter. It gives us a much needed outside perspective and inspiration in a time that is so difficult both creatively and financially. Thanks!
Great video! I’m a bass player and I often have to watch videos from saxophonists and piano players, to have such things explained. This video reminded me on “Havona” from Weather Report and other cool things played by Jaco. Thank you!
Could you please do a video on how learning new rhythmic 'cells' can be used over a variety of scales, patterns and enclosures? I saw John LaPorta do this and it was inspiring.
It's actually not retrograde; it's inversion just as Chad describes it. The retrograde pattern would have *start* with the skip that the ascending pattern ends with.
Excellent but now I have to worry about my mind moving so slowly. I will need an exercise book to speed it up. Nope - you are very accomplished. Good instructions and overview. I suffered a facial left side paralysis 13 years ago so trumpet became history after 45 plus years. However, I throughly enjoyed your video. Just wished you had played half speed first before performance runs - as my old tired eyes just couldn’t keep up. Also, I have not read music in a long long time. So my comments are not relevant either. Great job.
Chad never cut your hair. Thank you for all the wonderful info. I have purchased the majority of your PDFs, will probably spend a good five years on them LOL
How much is muscle memory, how much is playing by ear and how much is knowing which notes are in the scale? Maybe this varies from player to player but I’d like to know where I should be headed, if you know what I mean.
Hey Chad I think you'd be interested to know that there is an Indian classical raag called bhopali thats the same pentatonic scale you used in the video. Just some trivia!
@@manfriedschmidt5953 Yes, he has that one, too, along with the MK 6. He was playing something new this past week, and I couldn't tell if it was the Lupifaro or something else. At some point, we end up chasing equipment, and not practicing enough! Always curious, though.
@4:06 Written out in all 12 keys? Bruh; It's like you knew I got overwhelmed by the Ramon Ricker book... "Here, I wrote every exercise in C. Once you learn them, then transcribe each one of into all 12 keys" Uhm, excuse me. I thought I paid you to do that Ramon?!? Lol. Yeah yeah yeah, I know. Transcribing it myself is better in the long run. But not if I get overwhelmed and put the horn away! Thanks for the awesome video.

I'm brazilian trombonist, and your videos are helping me a lot!! Thank you very much!!

killin it always, Chad... learning new patterns from Chad is a safe and effective vaccine for my crappy solos!
Absolutely. I too play very crappy solos, and Chad seems to help me raise the bar for myself.
This masterclass is really jumpstarting my practice
legit, after every sax shred intro i always uncontrollably say "thanks Chad"
Great video! I’m a bass player and I often have to watch videos from saxophonists and piano players, to have such things explained. This video reminded me on “Havona” from Weather Report and other cool things played by Jaco. Thank you!
Mind blowing speed for this 86 y.o - stertrted 2 years ago never knew pentatonic scales existed until 1 year ago.
Es ist wunderbar!...Danke sehr!!👏👏👏
Dang it, I may have to actually buy this one. Killer video
Thank you so much !
I'd like to see some more in depth discussion on shifting pentatics.
Thanks. Amazing exercices. +1 subscriber!
These videos just get better and better every day. Wow, thank you!
Could you please do a video on how learning new rhythmic 'cells' can be used over a variety of scales, patterns and enclosures? I saw John LaPorta do this and it was inspiring.
Fantastic master class! How on earth will I ever get that fast! Amazing playing Chad!
Awesome thanks Chad!
You are a great teacher Keep up the good work
The descending riffs are also known as 'retrograde' motion. You can also find similar exercises in the Danny Wilensky Advanced Sax book.
It's actually not retrograde; it's inversion just as Chad describes it. The retrograde pattern would have *start* with the skip that the ascending pattern ends with.
@@davidmmcg yes, my bad.
Take a shot every time he says “scales”
Or a whole bottle for every month without a haircut!
I counted 50
@@benjaminjaso7754 You will have a nasty hangover! Time lost to practicing all this material.
@@Osnosis nah lol, i dont drink at all, i just counted it for fun haha.
Or “pentatonics”
Appreciate all that you share.
Been playing alto sax for about 5 weeks. All i can say is.... .wha?.. huh? Subscribed though Chad! I'm sure i'll understand..... one day......
Great musician
So great

Great video Chad
Fantastic Chad !
Does he have to play so fast
Does bears turtalert in the woods?
Because he can play faster than you - and he has to remind you of that.
You can always slow it down in the settings. In playback speeds.
Slow downer
Yes😏
Really very helpful, though would have loved you played it slower. Thanks @chadlb! Always killing it. 👍👍
Muchas Gracias !
Never clicked on a video so fast

Are the books available on Amazon?

Ok I got it

The minor ascending pentatonic should be Raag Jog too
So check out what it sounds like... (at 300 bpm) :o
Nice! Though, you could break down your solos slowly to help us out :)

Can’t find book in store
Online only (PDF downloads) at JazzVIdeoLessons...worth it.
Do you also play soprano sax?
Chad does; the Lupifaro.
@@OsnosisHis tenor sax is also from Lupifaro.
@@manfriedschmidt5953 Yes, he has that one, too, along with the MK 6. He was playing something new this past week, and I couldn't tell if it was the Lupifaro or something else. At some point, we end up chasing equipment, and not practicing enough! Always curious, though.
@@Osnosis Are you telling me he has a Selmer Mark VI tenor sax?
@@manfriedschmidt5953 He does.

Why play so fast? The tonality differences are lost.
Sagasti saxofonista
He talks like Carl Kentz
Did you say you have a masterclass??
