In this video, I help you learn how to play the chromatic scale on the trumpet through a simple practice technique. You can also use this technique to learn any new scale that you learn.
Jazz Trumpet Lick #6 by Marquis Hill on "Straight No Chaser".
This jazz trumpet lick by Hill this week is very acrobatic...but extremely fun to execute. In the beginning it features daring leaps going to and from an A above staff. Then descends from there landing on a C below the staff. It's amazing that he executes this at a tempo either 30 or 40 clicks faster than where I can play it. I didn't provide the chords associated with this. Jazz Trumpet Lick #5 by Dexter Gordon on "Second Balcony Jump".
This week’s lick is a short ii-V by Dexter Gordon. I enjoy the shape of this line because of Dexter’s use of back to back enclosures leading to chord tones. |
