This guy wishes he could play the trumpet better! ~ Part 1 of 3

http://www.MySpace.com/tomwarnerkansascity

This video clip is a good demonstration of why he was never hired to play professionally. But he sure has a lot of fun entertaining himself and annoying others with his loud trumpet noises. This clip includes two melodies that he tries to do by ear. The first one (in case you can't recognize it due to the mistakes) is, "Oh By Jingo." The second tune is an attempt at taking a swipe at "Swipesy." Don't be to rough on this guy with terrible comments and ridicule as he has a very sensitive and delicate nature and verbal abuse is extremely detrimental to his psychological well being.

you got some good stuff on here mate! you dont have to attain a certain level to do gigs, you just play them and always try and improve like we all strive to do! (ive heard much worse from 'pro players to be honest!')

You're by far too hard on yourself. You're like me when I was playing trumpet. My teacher said "Stop thinking, just play".

[tdub1941]

Thanks for your nice words, but I know I am really terrible and no amount of argument can possibly change my mind.

BEST!

Okay, you're not ready for your Jazz gig yet. You're air was consistent in notes, but the volume got out of control at times. It was sort of crunchy some times when you slid between notes.

Hi Dave!

See, I told you I was lousy, it just took a little bit more listening on your part to be convinced of it.

I usually get more applause when I play to audiences that are mostly tone deaf and know little about music.

Well, I think I sound almost as good as Louis or Bx, but nobody else does. ;-)
