wtf? flight of the bumble bee is definitely slurred. yeah it will sound bad if your fingers are sluggish, but that's where the difficulty in flight of the bumblebee lies.
anyone who plays an instrument knows how hard a fast double or even a triple tounging is flight of the bumblebee is one of the greatest test of tounging there is anyone who is able to play it receives props from me
43 yr's playing this tune and only played it good a hand full of times! This tune is CHALLENGING each and every time it is played. Awesome... Thank for sharing 5 STARS***** for "Flight of the Bumblebee"
Playing it on a guitar isn't as impressive. Chromatic scales on a guitar are super easy even played fast because they're just going up one fret at a time, while chromatic scales on a trumpet are almost like switching through a totally random sequence of fingerings for each note. And don't even get me started about the breathing challenge...
Trumpet is harder, it requires you to push all that air and still not run out to be able to play the entire time, and you don't need to see your hands to play guitar. Or any instrument for that matter. It is all muscle memory.
Indeed so. He is tough to take down in a contest of comparison. His tone is better then a lot of the "Professionals" nowadays, and I've only heard of a recording in the black and white.
this is really great! if you wanna see equal as good playing. go watch rafael mendez, im gunna say rafael plays it a little better just cause ya know. hes a god.
His playing is pretty good. I dunno if it is the sound quality but his articulation doesn't sound that clear. It sounds slurred or jus running thru the notes. He may be exhausted because it looks like a part of a long concert.
he is good but he isnt as good as the person on my cd... idk know who he is but if i could finally get it up that would be cool.... the guy who plays the green hornet on my cd is better
compared to wynton marsalis and allen vizzutti his quality of tone is not that good. his upper register isnt anything compared to them either lol. still an amazing preformance
Playin with both Allen and Charlie on more than once I can tell you they're both world class musicians. I find it amusing that people find it necessary to compare apples and oranges. They're both very down to earth people, when the horn comes off the face is when it counts.
The Flight of the Bumblebees and its off spring The Green Hornet's theme. Awesome, most awesome.
