the TASTIEST blues solo

[@OddMeterMusic]

This solo is a perfect balance of simple clean standard riffs and complicated flashy runs. Simple is key, and this trumpet player knows it. Loved it.

[@DeepCrossing1]

This is a great demonstration of using just a C major pentatonic in a c blues (for tpt), a lot of reliance on the A - 13th against the C chord but 3rd against the F chord, just sounds at home, in side, reassuring a bluesy all in one. Some outside chromatic stuff but always coming back home at the start of each chorus. It’s accessible, not saying fuck you to the audience with nothing but outside notes. Great transcription too, thanks for whoever did that, great resource for students

[@chipmonkey7266]

Idk man, analyze away, I just think he was playing from the soul.

[@ButteryAftertaste]

@@jazzdorefree194 Your entire comment was a really great way of saying, as the OP pointed out earlier, "fuck you" to the audience.

[@thomaswilliams2723]

I appreciate your analysis. I too finally learned how to actually blow on the blues when I figured out Charlie Christian just used the major pentatonic lol. Ignore everyone else. Playing from the soul is the end goal but you’re not gonna magically get cracked by thinking about altered notes forever. Have a good one!

There is no such thing as a bad performance at Emmet's. This was wonderful and a great transcription as well.

[@DelphinusOrcastra]

So true 🐬

Yeah, nah, some performances a less interesting than others

Mike can play. Very soulful. He has a nice sound and his very own style. Hats off!

Rhythmic variation with intelligence. What a well thought out horizontal timeline. Badass.

This is a perfect trumpet blues solo. Very clean, smooth, classy and sounding nice. Chefs kiss

Nice use of space. And... goosing the rhythm section now and then. Groovy. Good work.

Beautiful man! Love it. That cat plays great!! 👍👍

[@bryandickerson5365]

In-freakin’-deed! That’s some brilliant blues playing with every chorus being a gem. Although slower, it reminds me of Freddie Hubbard’s ‘Birdlike’ in that respect

[@ChefChrisDay]

Man that cat on the horn makes me wish i kept playing. Smooooth

[@johnasti7429]

UUUUUghhh...that was beautiful Harmonically and rhythmically tasty!!!! Beautiful technique and time. Outstanding playing...

How do you polish your gold plated trumpet and get rid of the tarnished silver under the gold? I have my Getzen Genesis 3003 and myy Lawler scratch gold plated and am worried how to polish.

[@jamesroberts3642]

I love the love, but any tips on polishing 24kt scratch gold plate so that I don't ruin my horns?
