How did you find the music to this solo? I've been all over the place looking for it and no one has the music. Please help me out

@TheGCHSTitan Music? I've been playing the trumpet for almost 20 years and I've come to realize that music is a crutch. I used my ears, figured it out and played it. If I hear something I like I figure it out. Back in my college days there were pieces, such as the Haydn and the Arutunian concertos,

pieces that I had been playing for years without ever seeing the music to either. If you want something in life, get it. If you want to play something, do it. best thing ive learned over the years.

Great job. Starting to sound like Mike Bogart. Hope to run into you in San Diego sometime......

[mwb1jr]

@33ronnyboy Nah I'm pretty sure I sound like Michael Bookman. Mike's great though.

how long have you been playing? ive been playing for 5 years and have had to go through braces for a 1 1/2 years. i suck again because i got them of. any advice?

[mwb1jr]

@carlosz0710 coming up on 20 years...wow... im old... Yeah I used to have a bunch of students with braces. You just gotta stick with it and let your muscles develop. That's all. Don't take shortcuts.

@5xls For the record, I'm extremely tired of these comments. She is a good friend of mine and happily married. We are a part of a team and she is my little sister. Please be respectful of our hard work.

@Narbonnetpts6 Really? Were you there or something scoping out my gear? Well, yeah, Bobby Shew 8310z horn and Marc. mouthpiece. DEFINITELY not a Shew #1. That thing is a bent nickel. It's an e12 drilled to a 17 throat and given a double cup with a dremel tool. Crazy, but hell it works.
