Natalie, From one of your 1st videos on LessonFace, you inspired me to work on playing that blues bass line Through All 12 keys. Love your videos. You're a great player too! Keep in going!!

[@johnnyball2347]

I really feel it, and I haven't played for years. You are really smooth.

[@donjohnson143]

OMG... you’re awesome, definitely heard the old school funk in there.

[@phrygiandominant6989]

Great vid! This makes so much more sense if you're a musician who understands scales/modes and theory.

[@SKySWiM]

Do I have to learn James Brown dance moves also in order to get my BA Degree in Funk Trombone?

[@hgsamp]

Hello Natalie. I'm curious about the mouthpiece you're playing ... It's a Schilke? Thanks! -hgsamp

[@stevedyer6946]

Hi, what trombone are you playing?

[@bobboscarato1313]

That's a King trombone!

[@sablezubshruz9811]

Thank you Natalie, there is a clip with very familiar trombone part at the very start kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2HCnKSHj5Jsb6s If you recognize this piece - sounds so familiar & can not find it - could you let know composer. Thank you in advance!

[@dieselyeti]

Curious why you don't play a horn with an F key?

[@thedude9001]

You dont need one unless you're playing 3rd or Bass in a big band.

[@lonelybullet1]

Is that a king 3B?

[@thebiasslayer8244]

Can you do normal trombone lessons ?

[@mattildahubbardo]

Funky

[@jonkirby1880]

Damn, you play trombone like a large black man.

[@SammyBoe]

no, you can't just say that, but you are true

[@SammyBoe]

who were you talking about? you were probably talking about trombone shorty and Wycliffe Gordon.

[@mattohim9717]

SammyBoe shorty isn’t big

[@jobymoma]

Probably referring to Fred Wesley, who is the father of funk trombone.

[@munico6055]

This is genius

[@normgardner4560]

Wow you have a very high embouchure. Jealouse!!

[@melvinpolanski7249]
