Mr. Nelson, What axe are you playin on? what style of multiple tounging are you using for the non across the break slur stuff? thx-fabian

@fabemez9924 Bach 16 w//gardinelli 4m mouthpiece.

All my multiple tongue is doodle.

[Benisuber1]

@Bone2BWildMusic For learning how to doodle tongue, what books or techniques would you recommend?

[Bone2BWildMusic]

@Benisuber1 I learned by transcribing and trying to emulate Carl Fontana and Bill Watrous.

For instruction, go to Bob McChesney's web site. I think he's got the definitive method book on doodle tongue. It looks like he has a duets book coming out as well, which I bet will be great.

I think your style is amazing. Your high notes sound effortless, and your playing seems so relaxed, not matter how fast or high it is. Your solos transcribed on here, and a lot of what i've heard are out of this world. Hopefully your solos will inspire many more, like myself.

Good lord...what can I say to that except to say that I've never heard that kind of virtuoso playing on a trombone? And it's REALLY musical, and swings like crazy!

[mitchblahman13]

extremely impressive dude

[lagooned]

I guess If it works for him. I still like Andy Martin better. Sounds like this guy has a lot of adrenaline.

[bristheguy123]

this high register doesnt work with everybody's style, but you can really pull it off well.

I've been trying to figure out how to develop the high range for some time now, and wondered if you had any pointers I could use.

[debottona]

Excellent!!!

[MyDikPartyzHard]

he puts a lot of emotion into his playing.
