Richie, Just recently getting into your lessons due to my criminally delayed exposure to Woody. A true genius. Thanks for sharing his lessons with the rest of us. I find his playing to be very symmetrical but in an unexpected way. The fourth and fifth intervals are so present in his playing, and that’s part of what sets him apart. It’s so difficult to play the way he does purely as a technical matter, not to mention in a way that sounds musical. It’s likes he’s dancing around the basic notes. These exercises you’re sharing really help demonstrate how he arrived at his unique sound.
These four note motifs were first shown to me by the Grammy award-winning trumpeter Brian Lynch. He referred to them as 'pentatonic pairs'. Thanks for sharing Mr. Vitale, time to shed!!
Seems strange to refer to someone as 'Grammy award-winning' outside of Wikipedia article or an news article or interview.
Not if the goal is to establish immediate credibility.
thank you Mr.Vitale for all your great tutorials...so much again thanks.
Thank you, glad you enjoy :-)
Thanks for sharing, Richie!
Thank you!
For sure !!!
Thank you
Very hip! I'm very into this kind of thing and have generated many similar patterns but not these. These are excellent. Thanks Richie!
Thx Bruce, nice to hear you're working on this type of material!
Awesome,thanks a lot
Bueatiful fantastic information and vids thank you so much. Practicing some of these starting on the off beats.
good excercise, thanks for sharing.......
Thx for the kind word!
Great stuff, thanks!
DizzyJazz. Thyme to git sheddin'
bravo !
good mental and physical workout.
especially at the higher speeds woody could play at.
A trumpet friend of mine, John Eckert said, "I've never seen anyone think that fast!" Woody wasn't just naturally gifted with talent, technique and a unique sound, but he practiced incessantly and knew the trumpet in and out.
Awesome Sauce!!!!!
🎉
tnx, love it
May I ask what you think of the Yamaha Bobby Shew Jazz mouthpiece?
I liked it, but I used to think if a used Hubbard's mouthpiece I'd sound like Freddie, or Shew's mouthpiece and I'd sound like Shew. It's a GREAT mouthpiece but finding my mouthpiece was a bit of trial and error 🙂
@@RichieVitale I would not know. I find the edge to be too rounded. It has a sweet sound, but lacks snap
@@user-hr5uj1wq5q Yes, I prefer a flatter rim mouthpiece also.
Excellent insight. Could you please tell me what the opening track is?
Thx Ron, the opening track is "To the Beat of a Different Drummer" from my CD "Vitalogy" available on iTunes:

Hey Richie, over the years I've heard folks say to slur everything and noticed that you are tonguing these exercises. Can you share your thoughts on why you articulate each note and the benefit of doing so? Do you ever slur these, or only tongue?
First of all, let me apologize for not responding more quickly...I had over 130 comments there were held for "approval" I wasn't aware of.
When I'm playing quick 8th notes, or 16th notes, I slur every other note...but NOT starting the slur on the 1st to 2nd notes...but rather, the 2nd to 3rd, then 4th to 5th, etc.
Of course, that's just a general rule I break when notes aren't linear.
Nice intro
I've encouraged my viewers to check out YOUR patterns too in this video about translating Woody Shaw's intellectual legacy into jazz language of your own: czcams.com/video/MPAy8sefKzg/video.html
Very nice analysis and looking at Bartok for insight!
@@RichieVitale thanks!
Is there a PDF of what you showed us and also what's the name of the opening tune
Hi David, the opening song is called "To the Beat of a Different Drummer" and the PDF's are really from my book called "A Lyrical Approach to Jazz Improvising and both are available on my website here:
www.richievitale.com/store
I tell people they are also free to stop a video and study it at any time and some people take screenshots of the video.
Hope that helps!
Anyone who joins my recently started Patreon page at any level ($2, $5 and $10) can request a chart or PDF. So many people have asked for PDFs of my lessons, it would have taken away the time for the lessons here on CZcams and the money allows me to purchase video equipment and apps like Logic. The page is here:
