Here's a little snippet of recordings I was asked to play for Silva Screen Records. They have kindly allowed me to upload these for you guys. This was rock hard to play, tiring and loud, but SUPER fun :) I hope you enjoy it!

Your neighbors must get the sudden urge to have a standoff duel when they hear you play

[@torough]

Eric Johnson I would 😂😂😂

[@msergio0293]

That would settle a lot of problems in the neighborhood. Is Joe from the house next door mowing the grass at 6am on a Sunday morning, challenge him to a Mexican stand off

[@starplatinum3112]

[@junito1957]

you mean we need more people who could play instruments because in the 60, 70, 80 ,90s we had whole groups that could play instruments now these days the group is a midi player

[@russellrivero6356]

That’s because no one today takes the time to listen and enjoy live and well performed music. They just care if it has a beat. My state symphony gives free tickets to students for their classical concerts. I attend as many as I can and ask many of my friends if they would like to come. Yet I typically end up going by myself. The sad reality of people and music today.

[@pebblebeach8517]

Dominick Wade I can get to an A-flat over the staff in practice but never in the context of a song... in my opinion I cannot make an aperture small enough to blow a C over the staff even if I blow Softly...I even had to temporarily start playing the saxophone because I was frustrated not being able to play songs I want because my range is not high enough or easy enough to get to, I’ve tried many different strategies to get there but maybe a different trumpet that’s more open would be easier for a higher range? I don’t know that answer.

I am Dutch, 62 years old and since I was 8 a huge fan of Ennio Morricone and western music and Spaghetti western music in general. The whistling themes, the trumpets, the electric guitars, the female soprano, all magnificent. And you sir, I thought hardly anyone could play those trumpet solos so well. You proved me wrong. You could have been in his orchestra in no time. Awesome.

Been playing for 37 years and teaching for 10. you have the smoothest tone and range i ever heard.. stunning

Rest in peace Ennio Morricone your hard beautiful work will be remembered by millions for years to come as masterpieces.

[@juicyfruit5444]

That was amazing, and thank you for putting the notes along the bottom; even as a trumpet player I've always found it hard to tell how high or low notes are through video as I don't listen to recordings of myself, this really helped put that into perspective for me. Fantastic work, it sounded beautiful and I enjoyed it very much :D

[@theimp5901]

Don't worry about high notes. Make the lower registers super strong and slowly add a note each few weeks. Keep that throat open, long set tones and learn pedal tones to get that throat and belly working together. Doc can do a 10 minute plank and he's in his 80 s. And believe me, he can still easily play this. Get your abs in shape. Maynard swam a mile every time he could.

As a trombonist, I’m obligated to hate trumpets (except people like this guy, they’re amazing). But aside from that, I totally get how it works. We just have a slide. Everyone’s like “Oh, I could do that, you just gotta move the thingy and breathe into it”.

[@hyperstargaming6150]

@@poisondog88 I play Trumpet and Trombone, so hearing “how hard can it be?” Is so frustrating to both sides of the case. There’s so much more to wind instruments than simple air and pushing the valve or moving the slide.

[@harrylowis4407]

french horn is so much more difficult than trumpet (I play both) legit one fingering plays every note on french horn if you pitch well, it's just the different fingerings make the tone nicer, then you have the F side and Bb side, which produces different sounds within itself .

Hearing the beautiful trumpet pieces throughout the Dollars Trilogy made me want to get back into playing the trumpet after about 10 years.

[@jduff59]

Louis, after hearing Michele Lacerenza many, many times and listening to yours, I'd say you get it very well. This must be a joy to play, and I envy you both. I started as a trumpet player but had to switch to strings due to my folks not having the cash for the surgery I needed to correct my overbite. I still think in trumpet to this day but haven't touched one in many years. I still consider the trumpet to be the most physically demanding instrument and the most beautiful tonally. Great job here! Ennio Morricone is one of my favorite composers, I enjoy LvB and Wagner and consider Ennio as one of the greats among them. More Ennio please!

[@jduff59]

@@haydencapell8200 Hayden, do you get a ring indentation on your top lip? I was forcing the mouthpiece to the point it was painful. My teacher was giving me pedal tone exercises, but I lost heart and focused on bass after that. Big regret. Hope your embouchure is doing good for you - mine wasn't anymore. I play mostly folk now, so I play mandolin and bouzouki a lot. Would love to get a cheap trumpet and give it another go. Best of luck to you.

[@haydencapell8200]

I’ll admit I don’t have the most prominent overbite, but yes I do get an indentation. I can pretty comfortably compensate by slightly jutting my jaw (and thus lower row of teeth) forward.

I played trumpet through middle school, high school, college, and then for several years after, up until my 30's. At one point, due to financial hardship, had to sell my beautiful Holton trumpet. I've been searching for one to replace it for the past several years with no success . But, it's been close to 40 years since I played, so it might not be something i can expect to recapture. I played along with the record on this soundtrack a thousand times. But, my composure for the high notes was NEVER anything close to you. You're amazing. New sub.
