After watching this video I decided to tranpose Sonny Rollins' five chorus solo on St Thomas through 12 keys. I've done 5 keys so far.

Did it help?

As a guitarist, I must say that your content is almost always fresh and useful as it really gets into the nuts and bolts of building melodic lines: sth that a lot of guitarists and guitar teachers gloss over. So, thank you and best wishes in this difficult time.

This was very informative. I've been having trouble transcribing lately bc I've realized that I wasn't really internalizing solos the way I wanted to and learning the most content possible. Thanks for giving me a lot more to work with! You're incredible as always

@insidejazzguitar8112 3 года назад

What an amazing teacher - excellent concepts and discussion - thank you! I’m a guitarist so I mainly think in terms of scale degrees when I transcribe and practice lines. I love taking melodic cells and combos and transposing to several other keys, usually chosen based on the II-Vs in the tunes I’m working on. That’s one of my favorite ways to practice.

@FrantzesElzaurdia 4 года назад

Very useful, I was transcribing your solo on Yardbird Suite from the Standard sessions series you have here on RU-vid, and it's been a very long time since I've transcribed something. A day after learning some frases and trying them over different keys and chord progressions and I already hear them in my improvisations.

@XB29SP 4 года назад

Great ideas and methods as always. Just playing a Parker tune (head) in all keys with the goal of making each key sound as "slick" as the original has worked for me because his tune can include colorful chord substitution notes in themselves. Like the singing part too!

@YoPaulieMusic 3 года назад

Great video, love your playing and teaching style. I think there is another thing students can do to improve their transcribing capabilities: know your scales adn apreggios. So much of jazz is based on these two, if you know them and have them under your fingers you can trascribe more efficiently.

done learning softly as in a morning sunshine in 12 keys

@Jamsville 4 года назад

This is a great video! Two things I would add: listen to the solo over and over and over. This will let you memorize it really easily. Write variations on your favorite phrases in the solo. This helps get it in your vocabulary without copying exactly.

@dp4878 4 года назад

What an amazing lesson. Learning a solo is one thing, but you show how to unwrap it and use it as a springboard for your own soloing. This can keep your study going for ever, a brilliant challenge for a growing musician.

@RogelioEscobar 3 года назад

Imitation is key. I am by far not a great Jazz player, but I ate slept and pooped Sonny Rollins in college. I tried to emulate even the sounds of the keys of his horn popping and tiny sounds of spittle you could hear from his embouchure and the fuziness of his tone (Saxophone Colossus). You move your face around and try to match the colors of tone. I've been racking my brain hating my playing and this....this is the key. Back to transcription. Even if you habe 20 minutes to practice.....you should be teanscribing and analyzing. Thanks Chad! Would love to do a lessonone day.

@ralfbettker-cuza7432 4 года назад

Thanks for the great content, Chad. One question and one remark: do you actually transcribe on your horn or on a keyboard or piano? And the remark: I find writing down the transcription yourself extremely helpful for understanding the rhythmic approach of a soloist. I had various teachers telling me that rhythm is actually more important than notes.

@bartycrouchjr.8831 3 года назад

wow your voice is good

@danhpena 3 года назад

Hey Chad. Thank you very much for your work and sharing here on RU-vid. I was transposing a melodic phrase using the chord degree numbers strategy and I couldn't know what scale degree i should attribute to some notes under a half dim or dim chord. Example: under the F#º7 which one is the 9th (G or G#)? which one is the 4th (Bb or B)? and so on.

Thats some giant steps

@theolockhart2624 3 года назад

Please do a lesson on alternate fingerings.

@christophmunch4796 4 года назад

The 7 steps: 1. Get a coffee. 2. Power up computer. 3. Check E-mail. 4. Check Facebook and Instagram. 5. Post vitriolic comment on jazz education video. 6. Start transcribing. 7. After 5 minutes finish transcribing because of that impossible-to-figure-out passage.

Superior video, Chad. The Charlie Parker piece you transcribed up in three different half steps...how do you plan to apply them in solos?

@thomasgendron1446 4 года назад

My favorite Charlie Parker solo

@UkuleleAversion 4 года назад

I think I might be up to Step 7. I recently finished learning Sonny Rollins' solo (6 choruses, drum solo, then 5 choruses) on St Thomas and I'm thinking about putting it through to 12 keys.

@TheKjtheDj 3 года назад

Learning the omnibook in the original alto key and then up a half step is a great way to go through all the keys. Learning a solo in all the keys is fun but you end up going really high.

I found that listening to this at 1.5x speed works quite well. Just gotta concentrate a little harder

The writing down part is also great for the ancillary benefit of improving your reading.

@chrisdecarlo9974 4 года назад

Where is the most reliable place to find changes for tunes? I’ve tried the internet, the transcription books, and iRealPro, but they’re all often so different.

@ChadLefkowitzBrown 4 года назад

Great question! Ultimately you’ll want to get the hang of transcribing chord changes yourself from the recording because I find all books and apps to have errors, and sometimes there’s no right or wrong, it’s just a matter of deciding which options you want to do yourself. I’ll try to do a video on transcribing chord changes soon :)

@Mr2plus3 3 года назад

IN your analysis of the G7 pickup, why does it have to be a scale? Why can't he just be playing the tensions b9 and #9. against the chord with notes of the key C for all others?

@andrewcallous9688 4 года назад

Chad looks like crazy Jafar from Aladdin. Thanks for lesson anyway))

@kennethvalentine4907 4 года назад

Do you transcribe the chord changes in step one as a part of memorizing the chord changes? If so, how specifically? Are you arpeggiating on your sax or are you using a piano/keyboard? What are you listening to specifically in the recording in order to transcribe the chord changes? (Piano/Bass) Or do you look up the changes before even starting on a tune/standard?

RE step 1 - What if it’s an unknown song?

@samuelroberts8449 2 года назад

What if you're stupid slow at learning by ear? assuming the transcription isn't available in writing.

@elsaxofonista 4 года назад

because when I listen to an improvisation of a song it sounds the same as all the others? because all improvisations seem like study exercises? I'm not talking about your sax solos, I'm talking about the solos of most saxophonists, shouldn't an improvisation be a variation of the melody? I don't understand how the term improvisation is handled today

@LowReedExpert1 3 года назад

Modern soloing tends to allow every type of solo styles, but some the newest "hippest" sounds are playing flashy lines and playing outside of the key and resolving. Personally, it's not my cup of tea since there are a lot of folks who rely on that too heavily but, like everything, it's all about moderation. Take some things like the cadenzas at the end of Dizzy's night in Tunisia. Since a cadenza is unaccompanied, you have no choice but to play horizontally to keep the progression/key, vertically for interest, melodically so it doesn't get boring, using phrases so things don't ramble, and you'll even hear on those old recordings playing lines outside the key and resolving well. In my opinion, it's all about how you use the tools. You can make amazing solos that are less melodic (take Allen Vizzuti, whose soloing I don't care for, but is undeniably outstanding)

@bluessax5089 4 года назад

I really dig this video and Chad is a Monster player but I really wish cats would mention the importance of matching timbre, tone color, dynamics, and nuance when transcribing. There is so much more than just playing and analyzing the notes. You can see examples of what I speak of on my channel. I transcribe guitar solos on the sax
