  • what mouthpiece are you using in that video

  • is that a soprano trombone in the background

  • @xXN1co97Xx

    yes it is. very fun instrument! thanks for noticing. :-)

  • what mouthpiece do u play on im 16 playing on bach 3c

  • @Kodiacmovies09

    the 3c is a great mouthpiece. I used to play on one, then moved to a 1C and then went to a Monette 2B and have played on one of those for over a decade now. Also just got (and love) a Monette 2BSL which I use for higher playing and longer gigs.

    hmmm, good suggestion. I'll go get a copy and see what I can do. It's really, really, really, really (ad seven more "reallys") great practice to try and figure out songs by ear. Takes a lot of what Clark Terry calls "fishing for fingers" but it's totally worth it. Why let me have all the benefit of figuring it out? See what you can come up with. A piano helps save the chops and can be easier to suss it out at first.... I'll keep you posted.

  • Is there any chance that you could make a video on how to play the trumpet part of Ecstasy of Gold, from the The Good, The Bad and the Ugly? Or at least a video of you playing it? I think that's such a cool trumpet part, but I can't find the music anywhere.

    Thanks.

  • sweet. Glad to hear it! My slide doesn't work as quickly as yours, tho....

  • I love that I can apply all of your videos to Trombone. You're awesome! Keep the videos coming!
