Man, I learned more in 10 mins with your video than I have in years!!!! You explain it so clearly and I get it. Which is amazing to me, because I haven't for years!!!! I'm ordering this book!!! Outstanding presentation...

Hi Chad, I’m really enjoying your pdf books and videos including this one which I’ve been playing through just now. Such amazing clarity you share!! It’s really lifted me today. I have 11 of your e-books now - it’s like learning to fly. Big thanks!

This just dropped into my feed. I would say that it depends how you define the term Blues. Blues is the same in Jazz as it is in Blues It is a term that sits on a sliding scale, which could mean anything. To a Blues player Bird is a jazz Player. To a post Trane player Bird is a blues player.

I'm learning a lot from this after playing for 35 years the saxophone

Okay Chad you got with the the 1st minute lol. That was hilarious! Fantastic video too

[robstevens]

Nice examples of jazz blues! The blues shuffle etude was really hip! (I grew up in the neighborhood of the South Side of Chicago where Buddy Guy, Otis Spann and Junior Wells played blues). And, yes the bebop etude was intimidating, despite the 10 year old Chad story.

Hey Chad! Hope you get to read this, I used to be be a guitar player but due to physical issues and a mental burnout I had to quit playing and even thinking about music for about 3 years. Your content has been extremely helpful at creating motivation to get back at the horse and most of all, feeeling HAPPINESS when playing my instrument. I hope you have a great life and your channel keeps growing bigger and bigger. Best regards!

You are a wonderful teacher! Also you sound a lot like Johnny Griffin when you play the basic blues and the bebop blues. And that is compliment!

[jazznutz]

Chad is a monster! With his lessons I always start going yeah cool, I see this and can do it and then next etude I'm all "I'm dead"

[riccastellanos]

Absolutely one of your greatest jazz improv lessons Chad ! Looking forward to working through the Blues Etudes pdf package. Thank you for this terrific educational opportunity.

[bryandickerson]

Some really great etudes @Chad LB! I’ve got an old book of etudes by Dan Higgins that is fantastic along with a wonderful chorus of blues written by Steve Grossman when a college friend took a lesson from him back in the ‘80s.

You are the greatest bro! CLB University?!?! You got an Angel Investor/Disciple here lol

[PIANOSTYLE]

The graphics and lesson is extremely good. Probably be on these lessons for a while

[ganlanwang]

A great idea that you can use all these material to write more [standard etudes pdfs]. Can't wait to buy them!~

And also this is a blues (y también esto es un blues): la re re mi la re, la re re mi la re, la re mi fa# sol la fa sol la sol fa re mi DOO🤯😂. I love you, Chad. Quality content, now i have material for a days, analyzing these lines. Hahah doesn't matter but your speech change a little bit i think Chad at the beginning, i think is more relaxed, your voice is in a more low tone hahaha only a curiosity, well so good speak. Oh but your tone of the voice is perfect, not too low, like Parker, Lol 😂. (Laugh of the Parker at the final of Thou Swell at the Washington theatre). And the negative harmony like Collier? Subtitles in English please, or Spanish but that is more difficult hehe.

Best advice to guitar players; STOP LISTENING TO GUITAR PLAYERS ! The horn players lead the way and always have. Listen to guitar player and you'll sound like a guitar player. Study the horn players, and you'll sound like a MUSICIAN !

[Dalightsax]

Thank you @chadlb you have always been one of the sources of inspiration to me and some other jazz musicians in the globe.

Please, Is this class for a beginner, intermediate or an advance player? My head aches 😭 😭 😭

The line with the 6th is a ‘regular’ blues scale lick on the relative minor.
