hey im in the 7 th grade and i almost made all-state i really want to next year. i need to practice more difficult songs please if you sould send me some at arnoldf10@yahoo.com

[GelZero]

@frankiearnold1997 Hey - its easy to make it difficult for yourself...try playing the same song in all 12 keys...I feel like the trick is to find songs that are fun to play. If you think you know an 'easy' song, listen to some of the older guys play that same song and you'll eventually realize that the subtle things they do really make it sound good. Try to pick up on these subtleties. I would also recommend getting some Jamey Aebersold books/cds to practice your improvisation. Best of luck!

Amazing sound and very nice feelling my friend ;)

I'm a jazz upright-bassist and i'm thinking to buy a trumpet and learn this beautiful instrument, my secondary instrument, to make some jazz melodies and solos... What trumpet you recommend me, cheap and good to learn? Thanks mate! ;)

[GelZero]

Hey - thanks! I play a Bach Stradivarius, which is the standard 'pretty good' professional model.  I like it quite a bit and recommend it if you can get one. I would practice up a bit on a cheaper model if you're just starting then play a bunch of different horns and see which gives you the best tone. Good luck!

very good

[TheBig5Brass]

Great job, I enjoyed listening to you play!

what on the bell?

[Speer82]

Wow..who disliked this. They couldn't have been musicians.

[TheJudge442]

@GelZero definitely go with the Aebersold books/cd/computer programs too, they work really well!

[livesoccer4ever11]

how old are you and how long have you ben playing? i play trombone and bass trombone at my high school and i wanna learn guitar and trumpet. i love jazz

[trumpetmonkie]

hey man, great playing just quick few noters

clarity just crisp it uo slightly, but good melody on ur solo however in a jazz band its good just to repeat some of your own ideas during the solo.

when my camera works ill try and upload some jazz videos and comment on how to improve and improvisation which you already have the notes and ideas. As i have said good solo just need practise :)

good luck keep blasting :p

[angelavllj1]

don't know much about trumpet playin but i like they way they sound. oh yes i sure do!

[acdcjonnyboy]

hey! i'm a complete newbie to trumpets, i'm planning to learn when i save up enough to get one (hopfully soon) is that a mute in the end that makes it sound so jazzy? i thought mutes were supposed to stop noise? not mak it sound so awesome? :L

[aceofspades2010]

way to keep it simple and not over doing it. thats a lot of issues some musicians have. they try to dump everything they have into one solo....start a foundation and build on it...playing music is just like telling a story...im a trumpet player myself and i know a good player when I hear one...keep it up man
