Jesse McGuire.. Because He Lives

[heavensglory22]

Amazing!



[LenJJr]

Anyone know where you can get this arrangement?

[4olaka]

Thank you for the Music !!!

[spum789]

anybody know wat key this is in?

[gertnood]

@spum789 If you play any instrument, you can figure it out in two seconds. If you don't, then why do you care?

The answer is: F

He's playing a Bb trumpet, so he's playing in G.

[spum789]

@gertnood i play multiple instruments smart ass. and its not just some thing you instantly know what key something is in. You have to train yourself at it. I will say that after you learn what to listen for it really is simple. so thx for being a complete ass and making yourself look stupid. we all know for a fact you were a beginner at one point and im sure no one expected you to know how to finger a your first scale without them showing you did they? no they didn't so you can shut up :)

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

His trumpet playing is awesome.

The program he's playing trumpet on totally sucks donkey balls.

[JellyBags80]

@rmtoyama: not sure if that was meant as a dig, but comparisons to Kenny G in musicians circles are generally regarded as a very negative thing. Though Jesse does use voice like inflection which could be seen as "smooth jazzy". Soul should not be mistaken for smooth jazz (not necessarily a bad thing- just different).

Regardless, this is bad A soulful playing much like all his TOP stuff. What a remarkable talent. No comparisons to other greats (maynard, faddis, Morrison) needed!

[rmtoyama]

Jesse sounds like Kenny G if he decided to play some trumpet instead of that soprano!

[MrHaqqman]

WOW! THAT REALLY MOVED ME. LOVE IT!!!!

[americansmark]

Dr. M is absolutely the best in the US. I think of him, James Morrison, and the late Fred Mills (who my professor was a protege of) as the greatest of my lifetime. I hope to be that next wave. ;)

I just need a better work ethic lol

[BigErnie2100]

I'm thinking this is the same man that played at my church many years ago. I've never heard a better sound in that building, which was not great for acoustics, as when he played. He just filled it up. Played When the Saints...

[bonesscreamer0809]

do you know where i can get the background track?

[molecular360]

I swear I jizzed a little at 1:33

[Niek67]

I hate to ask this, and I also hate it when other people are asking this on other videos. But this is for me the only exception, does anyone has a music sheet of this? That would be awesome. Thanks !

By the way, I love the vid, subbed

[bassman0202]

mmm tasty

[NAMELESSJOLLYROGER]

Hey! Thanks for reminding me to get on the internet and check the site.

Kablam! wanna jam at the Royal Palace before the summer is over?

[BughouseMASTER]

ANDY! JIMMY! JEFF! RANDY! LUIS! And any of my fellow Trumpet friends I might have missed..... Tell me what you think of this RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING rendition of the popular christian hymn "Because He Lives". He absolutely OWNS this song.... I can listen to this all day!!!

[DominicJCircolone]

Jesse Blows a trumpet solo on a song I wrote called: "Angel At The Entry". It can be found on my, "Dominic John- Fallen World Record" CD. It is as sweet as a trumpet solo can get. Thanks, Doc.

[rossman1211]

Who is this guy? He's amazing!!!

[cyberdaytona]

just listened to this easter 2010 - perfect!

btw - the mouthpiece is a 'jet tone'

[DancingSpiderman]

Dayng, Jesse McGuire's playing is incredible!

He's a MoFreekinFo !

Great performance, despite the canned muscular dystrophy muzak backup

If I was hangin out in the audience during this taping, I'd be all like, Jesse -- you a MoFreekinFo !

[daynelmarzo]

Jessie's a great trumpet player.....Amazing sound and technique.

[Flemfka5]

Since we all agree that Jesse McGuire is insanely talented and full of Awesomeness (i know it's not grammatically correct), why are there not any more vids out there with him?

[signupandmakemoney]

very clean and trumpet playing, even the growl, towards the end.

[ridingroy]

Great performance ! Check him out on Tower Of Power live DVD from Europe.

[jocobo99]

his growls and shakes are amazing

[daynelmarzo]

I love Jessie McGuire's sound.

[flamesdatcomeverbal]

the whole thing was a jaw-dropping experience...

but from 1:26-1:34

so beautifully played..

[BughouseMASTER]

This is ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT........ if only i had that insane range maybe i can do that too ^_~

[jboone707]

Magnificent!!!

[vialvest88]

hehe. playing with band in a box! XD

[Flemfka5]

does any body know what trumpet he's playing? I mean the brand and model?

[trumptite1]

yes, it's a hollow-tone samson j custom

don't know what mouthpiece though

[dktrumpet]

This is good. The attacs are full, and the tone starts at once, lots of overtones - real trumpet.

Is it dubba c or g at the end?

[trumpetdude590]

pretty certain that its a G and a damn good one at that!

[BughouseMASTER]

yeah it is, he just doesn't hold it that long lol

[dorry18]

yup it was a g at the end

[FlyAirlineProduction]

What was that amazing trick that he did with the bell of the trumpet at 1:36? :-)

[dktrumpet]

Flutter with the toungue, and use your hand as plunger. Nice music, is it not?

[trumpetdude590]

he did a growl and just gave it that open and closed sound with his hand

[azninvazn627]

anyone know how to get sheet music for this? i mean buy it duh but where?

[number1trumpet]

Hey azzinine627, I wouldn't worry too much about reading sheet music. Once the technical skills are there, it's best to just play what you FEEL. Check out any of my vids for examples and keep practicing.

[Mobegiga]

dam now I doubt he or Phill Driscol???? shit!!! Phill is amazing this guy is outstanding , Phill has an advantage he sings and plays dam what a doubt!!! I choose bough

[aaronwon1985]

one word, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[PeterMRoebuck]

You go boy! Classic singing a classic.

[Heywannago2KFC]

oh...oh god......paper....paper towels...uhuhuhuh

[Jazzfreak251]

He just played the fuck out of that tune.

[huntdog44]

im lovin his plaid bowtie

[huntdog44]

looks like a bach trumpet couldnt tell u what kind of mouthpiece it is though

[DerikWright]

schilke

[aggieanthony21]

who cares what kind of trumpet and mouthpiece he's using, either you can play or you can't it doesn't make that big a difference

[JacobR343]

i agree

[nb734]

its about time someone says it as a trumpet player i hate it when people sit there and talk about horns in mouthpieces, my advice is always go with what feels best cause there isn't much difference, thanks again someone needed to say it

[evanduce]

i know right

[DancingSpiderman]

I just bought a Jean Baptiste pocket trumpet $160 that sounds better and mechanically works better than the "high end" brand name pro horns I've owned.

Brands, styles, shapes are very much irrelevant.

Play the damn horn and mousepiece that works for you.

[JacobR343]

looks like a schilke with a bach mouthpiece...but he still sounds awesome!!

[EdWatts]

It's hard to say because the detail isn't very good, but I think that's a Benge trumpet; the bracing from the leadpipe to the bell sure looks like Benge.

[jamalb1993sbcglobal]

wow is that a schlike weird tone

but its cuz schlike sucks but he has a unique tone

[1337ELiTe28]

i love this so much, so beautiful! i cant get over it

[AtomicDaZE5150]

I saw Jesse play at a high school jazz festival, during my senior year of high school. We sat in and he ran a clinic with us, the guy is a great person to talk to and a great trumpet player to listen to. I prefer his higher register clean-ness to Maynard's, no disrespect to Maynard.

[1337ELiTe28]

lucky, hes like my fav trumpet player, him and rafael mendez, but well after wut happened to him, im going with jesse

[1337ELiTe28]

i love how he pulls it away so hard and fast at the end

[spum789]

his tone is so amazingly thick and powerfull and not to mention full even when he plays quiet. my favorite part is 1:29-1:32 i love that part. and that little jump to a high c shortly after. and the ending run in the upper register.

[azninvazn627]

im pretty close to hitting some of those high notes

[Polomusician]

He has a very thick tone to be on a schilke...

[DizzyShaw]

I think Jesse uses a Schilke 13A4A mouthpiece and maybe a Bach trumpet? Something like that.

[pow3rtr1p]

If he can get tone like that out of a 13A4A. I would have to venture a guess it's something slightly bigger, but you may be right.

[jamalb1993sbcglobal]

ya i was about that say i think its a schlike

[huntdog44]

anyone know what kind of trumpet/mouthpiece he uses

[azninvazn627]

probably a 3c...maybe

[huntdog44]

AMAZING!!!

i was looking at videos today was the first time i have ever heard of him omg in my opinion he smokes maynard ferguson when it comes to his gorgeous tone quality

[brian740]

Huntdog.. He's really good, no doubt about it. And I really like his playing with Tower of Power, Star Spangled Banner, etc. However, for MF you might try watching the videos I have posted where he plays Maria and Somewhere. NO one could play ballads mixed with high register like Maynard could.

[huntdog44]

yea i guess i have to agree with you on this one but MF and jesse mcguire are 2 amazing trumpet players and we can both agree on that

[vadercabftw]

i actually agree with huntdog. he was saying that jesse has better tone. i agree fully. maynard cant beat jesse's thick tone and presence.

[Flemfka5]

I just feel, at times, that maynards sound (actual sound emitted by his trumpet) sounds a bit like something made out of plasic..Jesse har a richer tone with more núances and more feeling

[huntdog44]

@brian740 maynard was really good but i think as an overall player that jesse smokes him..

[jmprov356]

@huntdog44 Jessie has a fantastic, and he did such a great job on this solo - very interesting, and he didn't miss anything.  Really, though, you can't compare Jessie (who goes no higher than a high G on this) with Maynard - they're just different. Maynard has a great tone from High D through the Stratosphere of the trumpet.

[huntdog44]

@jmprov356 yes, they both have different styles i just prefer jesse's over maynards.. maynard was one of the best for his upper register

RIP Maynard

[whitetruck76]

@huntdog44

Don't forget Jon Faddis, Dizzy and Arturo Sandoval. Jon Faddis and Sandoval came close to Maynard in range, but nobody could match Maynard in raw power and stamina.

I think that Dizzy had more style and technical skill than all of them.

[3knurcbct]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

[MainManLuke]

i get to meet him and play with him today :]

[trumpetz09]

This song had so many moments where I screamed OMFG out loud. I love this guy, he's my idol, his tone is unique and just wow. He's one of the best

[cravenmoorehead2000]

Love his tone...superb!!!
