My jazz band (of 6th-8th graders) is playing this and there were two baris, me and someone else, and then they moved me to Second Tenor since our current second tenor player had to drop jazz band, sort of.

Dallas Dillard the person in my jazz band blames his trumpet for his ability to not hit high notes, holds notes too long, and plays a half count too late. I am better than him but i am stuck with 2nd and 3rd parts for no reason at all
@nbrister19 жыл бұрын
in complete honestly, the 1st trumpet part isn't that high or even that hard. it only goes to what? a D? (I'm not sure. it's been a while since I've seen it) that's like the very bottom of the "high register".

+JarSquidProductions Hey, so I'm doing slap for my Jazz band this year, and It's my first time doing this kind of music, is there any tips you can give me for this song since it just gives chords? Like, what rhythm's would work and such? Thanks.
@JarSquidProductions8 жыл бұрын
+Marcus Solan (Nuclear Virus) are you playing it on an electric bass guitar or an upright bass? and have have you played slap bass technique before?
@nuclearbrotherhood8 жыл бұрын
Electric, and well, I've attempted it before but I can't really get it down, I've been practicing, because I have six weeks until jazz festival. So, I have to figure out this funk chart and learn slap within six weeks
@JarSquidProductions8 жыл бұрын
Ok that is a tall task. I know there is a lot of videos on youtube about slap bass. If you find a technique that works roll with it and practice, practice, practice! I suggest practicing using the octaves. Thumping the low and pulling the high note. move up and down the neck just playing 4 quater notes on each octave untill you have that down then start expirimenting with faster speeds and with different rythems. Hope this helps! Good luck!
