@@JeffLewisTrumpet thanks. Got it.

Thanks! I play a Bach 42 reverse lead pipe.

I am glad you are finding it helpful! Thanks for checking it out. Sometimes when I shoot videos, my camera will automatically reverse the angle for some reason!

Sorry to hear that! Can you tell me more about what you mean by “without lip over teeth”? Also, rolling in is not for everyone.

@@JeffLewisTrumpet this issue has been going on for 3 years. I’d say I am preforming at professional level but I need some correction. The question is when you roll in your lips how do you get it to not overlap your teeth. Do I use my tongue to push it away so it does not over lap the teeth?

@@JeffLewisTrumpet no response Jeff?

⁠ I would try subtle micro adjustments. Perhaps try not rolling in and see what happens or maybe adjusting your jaw position. See if that helps.

Thanks!

No need to transpose. They are in trumpet key. And, not a silly question! Thank you for checking it out.

I basically do the same thing and I’m constantly trying to iron out the two registers. Thanks for sharing!

What part do you not get?

I'm a beginner trumpet player. I come across these vids all the time. Really want to get into jazz. Lol, all of the musical terminology is above my brain grade.

⁠Gotcha. Think of it this way, anytime you see a half diminish chord, play the notes that are located in the major scale 1/2 step above. It will always sound good!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Being able to play what you hear in your head is extremely difficult at first. It takes years for most of us to get even close. I wouldn’t worry about that in the beginning. I would just try to apply the knowledge and see how it goes. Baby steps!

@@JeffLewisTrumpet I'm amazed when I hear guys just rippin through solos on a track or during a performance, I wonder how are they able to do that just seemingly on the spot. In my mind those guys have to be thinking 100 mph, with flawless execution. And just listening to you and how break it all down and how you fly through the different chords and progressions I realize I missed so much in school.

@@oddstreet11 it’s never too late to learn!

Hi Aleah! I think I may have given you this one already?

Try just using chord tones in your solo that you write out. It should fit.

Great to hear!

Good to hear! You’re welcome.

Thanks

The only thing that seems to help me was to set in more of a smile position and practice with my teeth more aligned with a very small gap. Sometimes I would practice with my teeth together like the Cat Andersen method. Let me know how it goes.

You’re welcome. Best of luck on the audition!

Yes!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Band in a box is more expensive. Also, I’m not sure if that comes with a Melody either.

Will do!

Me too!

Do you usually practice in the morning? The reason I’m asking is my lips are always stiff and swollen in the morning but if I start my practice session after say noon, it’s a lot easier. Also, are you resting as much as you play? I particularly avoid playing for long periods of time when I first put the horn to my face in the morning. Also, if I find my morning session to be really stiff and non-productive. I will pack it in and try to again in three or four hours. I usually have a “honeymoon” period around 5 PM so it changes throughout the day. Lastly, try practicing for four or five days without ever having the feeling like you are completely chopped and exhausted. Leave a little in the tank as it were. Let me know how it goes.

@@JeffLewisTrumpet if I play in the morning yes, they aren't as responsive as after im up for a while. Awesome Ill try that! it's true I play till "failure" too often . 🙏🙏

If you’re looking for the play along track, it would be the same chord changes as “Blue Bossa”. Does that answer your question?

You’re welcome!

Sounds almost too simple doesn’t it?!

Great to hear!

Great! Yes, high D above High C always seems to be the playing range for most. It can be quite difficult to figure out how to play above that high D ceiling. Best of luck!

Right?! Me too!

bro

Thanks for attending!

Hello! Thank you for checking out my content.

I agree! A lot of people start with bebop when really, I think you should start from the beginning with the blues. Thanks for checking out my content!
