@tpstrat14 I find it interesting that you choose to voice your hatred of Maynard Ferguson on multiple videos. Is it so important to everyone hear about your very singular hatred of his superior control in the upper register? I would advise you spend more time finding what you do like than criticizing what you don't. I'm sure you appreciate all the negative attention you're getting, but the rest of us would like to listen to this music undisturbed by your acrimonious commentary.

I have a question... what would happen if you gave one of the screamers (maynerd, wayne bergeron, etc) a piccolo trumpet? and i mean after they get used to one if they havent played one already, would everything be an octave up or so? cause they sound like theyre already hitting the notes in the impossiblely high range.

@themeleed I've been able to reach the GG on multiple occasions, just never when I'm playing in band which makes me really sad.

Ha ha, don't like this version. This song should not be played this way.

@dylandavis24 I would recommend that you play on a few trumpets before you chose to get a new one. Buy the trumpet that you feel most comfortable on. Right now, I am playing on a Yamaha Xeno 1935RGS. Make sure that you do lip slurs and long tones when you are comparing trumpets to buy.

I would love to hit these notes on my trumpet!!! Although I've only been playing for 3 1/2 years and highest I can hit is the high E. But that's pretty good considering I'm a freshman in highschool!!! And only playing on a beginner trumpet. Next week I'm getting a Benjamin trumpet. Is that a good one or no?

[themeleed]

@TehDevl That's actually really good- just make sure you don't rush it too much =) and avoid using too much lip/mouthpiece pressure (I used to have this issue).

@trumpetguy3039 I'm in the same position as you, though only having played for 4 years. I can't quite reach it yet but I plan to get it around summer time. Especially with the progress I've been making. At the end of last summer, the highest note I could reach was probably a high E. Over that time, I've worked my way up to Double G, which I've only reached about 2 or 3 times. I've got to say that this is possibly the best comment I've seen on YouTube ever.

@Branon5 Could you say.. I don't know.. Send me a link to your copy maybe? :D I'd love to play this(Even if it would be down 2 octaves but still)

@chrism4n14 If you gave Maynard a piccolo trumpet it would shatter the sound barrier, only problem we wouldn't be able to hear it.

I have the sheet music for this (even the solo trumpet part)
