Thanks for this I totally forgot that it has to be an "m" when u buzz::::: i haven't reviewed the basics in quite a while (now i get to high G with ease like never before) thx thx thx

@whatevergodhasinstor For trumpet players of any level, a good 'getting back to basics' period now and then is always helpful. Keep it up!

I'm having a lot of trouble producing the clean sound, i can only make this high pitched noise, any tips?

[eTrumpetLessons]

@kdubongco Keep at it. With trumpet, getting a good sound is often a long process. Thing is, the better your sound gets and the better trumpet player you become, the more discriminating you get. It's an endless pursuit, but a noble one!

@eTrumpetLessons im a guitar player and i found it offensive, i don't care about clapton, but that's a good lesson anwyay

[kdubongco]

@eTrumpetLessons alright I definitely will! Thanks so much for the free lessons! I really appreciate them!

@kdubongco You may be pinching in the center of your embouchure (the shape of you mouth when playing trumpet). Try opening up a bit, but make sure the corners stay firm, and you're blowing lots of air.

[eTrumpetLessons]

@Dilaxan123 It does get better. Not having the benefit of seeing or hearing you, I can't overemphasize - firm corners (bit not pinched in the center of the lips) and big breath. Maybe also think open throat and low tongue, especially on those loser notes. Like when the doc tells you to open & say aaaahh.

@MrVargasesteban You're not the first with that sentiment - lol. For the record, Clapton is God. Hope the point wasn't lost...

[kdubongco]

@eTrumpetLessons I tried this but all i get is a high pitched noise, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

@biancadabomb it was easy for me and i started today

the comment about guitar players sounded pretty ignorant
