This is very helpful. I hope a lot of trombone students give this path a try.

I was waiting for this! Good stuff. Clearly explained, easy to follow. Thanks!

Awesome video Shawn! this has helped me a ton with improvising on the tune I’ve been doing with my jazz band.

[@kriseuph1]

Your videos are jewel. Thanks a lot. ❤

[@EdwardYemilRosario]

Thanks!

[@accage2131]

I enjoy your teaching style, some videos are good but are not teachable because they are too fast

[@pablomorenodearcosmora3003]

Thanks... Do you usé only the blues scale in the second example... Isn't it? Resolving in the proper chord

[@ShawnBellMusic]

You are correct! This approach is really helpful for players in the earlier stages of practicing improvisation, but in all honesty, it is one of the most important approaches to improvising in general regardless of ability level.

your playing example is just amazing! Are you using a soprano trombone, since you hit the high Bb so easily, I was wondering if you were using a different kind of trombone😵‍💫😳
