Best 14 minutes 25 seconds I spent all day.

[@ediblerubber]

I got lost instantly, but thank you for trying.

[@reukdeath]

It's the 1:43 for me

[@steadilsr]

You explained and demonstrated the 12 bar blues so well. I wish I could've had a teacher in HS with your clarity and your grasp on improvisation for the trombone

[@briggsasher5478]

Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

@Briggs Asher Instablaster =)

[@LisaLizTrombone]

Great lesson video. Simple and easy to understand. Also, it’s so awesome to see more female trombonist representation on KZbin! 💪

[@timkimmeritz5973]

Yeah tbh

[@n.crobin7142]

I didnt know a trombone could be this smooth

[@TheBlackTrumpeter]

This was a great lesson! Very well structured and easy to understand 😄👍🏾I love how you emphasize both the rhythmic and harmonic aspects (besides only the blues scale) of playing/improvising.

[@danielrivera9788]

Lovely ! Clarity and simplicity! I was watching a lot of Arranging and Orchestration videos, but everyone just talks Theory. I'm here trying to get the sound of the trombone in my ear, and get a grasp of the range of the trombone. Your video just helped me so much, thank you Natalie !

[@michaelarthur6271]

Awesome in its simplicity and presentation! Pretty inspiring to an "old dog" rejoining the band after a few decades in the desert. Thank you

[@Django44]

Superb job - well done! Clear, concise and ego-free...how refreshing. Keep up the good work.

[@zacharypeterson5540]

Bass trombone is where it's at, I love playing phat

[@turtlegodzilla1871]

I play trombone and tuba

[@jdub_onyt700]

Yessir

[@ktang001]

That was awesome! I just started learning the trombone 3 and a half weeks ago, and I just tried playing that baseline this morning!

[@woodmanuab36]

very impressed with your smooth tone and amazing trombone knowledge ....

[@viianapoa7448]

You're amazing Natalie!

[@charlesarmstrong5292]

Thanks so much for this easy to understand lesson. I am a singer taking up trombone and this has helped me in so many ways.

[@gfexc]

[@Perly53]

[@marceldelacruz4449]

I like your sound😍

[@ricp]

great video!

[@raulomargarcia]

Fabulous

[@Iam_bojoope]

Nice sounds

[@Sparksterfu]

I didn't know emily blunt plays the trombone.

[@derroncook1402]

Cool!

[@MichaelGawesebmainone]

Why does every instrument have to sound so good in blues, I thought harmonica was the thing, but it seems the bone is as well.

[@trentalley4564]

The blues is a scale not a timbre

[@ayochayce8185]

As a Harmonica Player who also plays Trombone all I can say it's based on the musician if you put the practice, any instrument can sound good on a spefic genre just don't let the instrument "play you" (old band saying but if you know what I meant then good) :)

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Michael Gaweseb Both very vocal instruments. Cool thing about blues harp is tongue blocking and the hand cup like a plunger mute on trombone.

[@syedali2943]

It's because the blues is one of the greatest forms in the world, so regardless of how you play it, it's going to sound great!

[@MichaelGawesebmainone]

@@trentalley4564 isn’t all music not scales

[@nautilus63]

좋은레슨 감사해요 ~

[@liammartin9222]

마구리본 same

[@golf4funjn532]

Great video! Also, the audio was very good. Would you mind explaining your setup as far as mic, interface and software used? Thanks!

[@LessonFace]

Thanks Nick! The mic is a Sennheiser MKE2, directly into the camera. We edited this one in FCPX. - Claire

[@golf4funjn532]

Thanks, really appreciate the info! I'm learning trumpet and have been trying to record myself. You playing is so effortless looking. Hope I can achieve that on the trumpet!

[@mikeperkins15]

Great sound. What's the instrument? Is it a big bore Holton? Notice your tuning slide is way out is that normal for you or is the instrument or band?

[@Chazd1949]

Natalie - It looks like you play a King T-bone? What model is it?

[@cubantattooist0921]

Can you teach each step? My 13 year old is trying to learn Jazz on her own.

[@marverickbin]

Cant we do F7 arpegio 1 octave higher?

[@MrTechHistory]

Wow - the Batman theme!

[@bassamrashed8915]

Hello, what is the name of this presto

[@golferken55]
