I think you're a little flat on some of the notes...on a brass instrument you could 'lip-up', but in your case maybe you need to 'palm-up' or 'wrist-up'...

When this song was popular, it hurt to listen, when I pointed how flat Chuck played that flugel out to people that liked the song, they couldn't listen to it either. Manualist, I can do what you are doing but compared to you, I am the worst hack alive. Absolutely amazing plus less flat notes than Mangione played on the record. Congratulations.
I have to say even though it might have been flat. This is a very great song. So I believe if you make a statement like that, you should try playing it. If you can good. But don't try to be cool and be a douche to a wonderful musician.
Well, Jim, thanks for this link. As you know, a friend of mine bought "big red", the 6 and half foot eight track used to record this song. We used it for many, many sessions, however, most musicians complained that the machine recorded everything they played flat. All I can say is this guy plays so many less flat notes than Chuck did on this song. Good job manualist.
I have a recording studio. We can make records. I see tours, my friend, arena's filled to the brim with screaming, adoring fans and record sales worldwide. I think Chuck would be proud; good job. You got more notes right than that Warren Ringham did with a real horn, Warren is a sad case for a musician, you my freind are a great musician, for the ages. I'll tell my grandkids about this.
really, i dont know why i am rising to this, but you are a cunt analyzingfunny. you must have a pretty pointless exsistence if this is all you can do - spend time slating a working musician. i bet you live all on your own and god help the person with you if you don't.
Really, wozzatpt, you don't need to be all upset like you are; all I said is that he plays this song with more passion and accuracy on his hands than you do on a real horn. The ironic part is, you boast and brag that you are a paid musician, it seems getting paid "that" well should bring more of a sense of pride, accuracy and passion to your music which you severely lack. By the way, I'm very well paid; unlike you, though I'm passionate about MY work.
actually im very well paid too, £30,000 is just a basic salary, with all the extra incentives and extra freelance work it is much much more. anyway i can take critism but yours is just down right rude and insulting. are you actually a musician? before you qualify yourself to comment lets see how good you are?
Wow, you are great at playing the hands! :) I have never seen this. I bet people would love public performances and throw a lot of coin too. I looked up manualist on wikipedia and it is said to be the hardest way to play music, is very rare, and takes about 30 years of practice.
dude!! you still haven't gotten a musician status yet!! c'mon youtube!! give credit where credit is due!!
amazing job as usual. i'm seriously jealous. i sat around for about 30 minutes trying to do it. i couldn't get a noise, all i got was a hand cramp lol.
wow, just wow, i love this song. the way you did it was absolutely awesome, impressive like always. would you ever be willing to a stones song like sympathy for the devil. if so that'd be so cool. keep up the good work.
I hav'nt a clue as to what to say loool, Jazz hands is right!
