Trombone Masterclass on Advanced Improvisation ‘WHAT NEXT?’ New things to think about…

[@Samm084]

Fantastic advice! You skipped the overused “feel it in your soul” and gave me some solid tools to use to be more exciting. Thanks

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Thank you mate 🙏

[@alexanderverdiyants8978]

Dranaby, thank you for all work you have done formulating concepts of a good trombone solo that were sort of floating in my mind! Very clear presentation! Thank you!

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Nice one Alex, there is always SO much to think about ha ha arghhhh 👍

[@joserafaelmiranda7526]

I agree, I’m a trombonist and a percussionist here in PR🇵🇷, salsa music has that challenge! Excellent master class!!! Thanks a lot !!!

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Glad you like it 👍

[@Anointed_Bone]

I hear you brother! I live in the caribbean and most of the bands have a full Latin percussion section (congas, timbales, cow bells) plus piano and bass and screening trumpets😂😂😂. It gets really loud and it is quite challenging for a trombone solo to be heard and still sound musical.

[@Jesse-my4sk]

freaking awesome information man! Youre a beast player and teacher!!

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Thank you 🙏 That’s very kind. It’s a new thing to think about right!!?? Have a go. I’ll do some smaller videos focussing in on these things and put some PDFs on my Patreon site for you to check out ( www.Patreon.com/Barnabydickinson) 👍

Damn Barnaby, so much good stuff here, and delivered with the best humor, I was smiling the whole way:) If you're ever in the DC area you must come do our big band Monday night hang! Free beer :)

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Thanks so much.. it is good fun and I will definitely take you up on the offer next time I’m in DC 👍

[@ezrakowadlo]

You've summed me up perfectly.

[@ezrakowadlo]

Thanks.

[@ralphderijke]

Barnaby! Dude! The best exposition of how to make a solo really happen I've ever heard. I wish I'd heard this forty years ago. :-) Thank you!

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Thank you Ralph. I’ve been thinking about these things for a long time and don’t hear many people talking about them. 👍

[@glennrbartlett]

wonderful. Where were you when I was a kid. Ill bet so much of this resonates with every bone player who has ever tried to strut their stuff in a live band. Time to join your patreon methinks.

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Thanks Glenn, I appreciate it.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

I learned some things here. Thank you.

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Nice one Kevin 👍

[@randyknisely8979]

Your only solo of the night😂 reminds me of when I went on tour with Gilbert O'Sullivan, there was a comedian on part of the show and I had to play a solo, only it was to be played as bad as I could, then. My slide was to fall off at the end ( the bari player would catch it) imagine this in The Lincoln Center😢) at least I didn't have to have any anxiety 😮 they picked the right guy 😂

[@adewumiabiodun7029]

Wow i wish to learn how to solo from you boss you are amazing❤

[@michaelbavarian]

What trombone model are you playing?

[@BarnabyDickinson]

Hi, this trombone is a Bach 12 👍

[@michaelbavarian]

@@BarnabyDickinson Looks like a silver satin finish. Is it a custom model?

[@BarnabyDickinson]

@@michaelbavarian yeah

[@ezrakowadlo]

I suspect the way to go is to play eighth notes. How does one learn to play in eighth notes?

[@BarnabyDickinson]

For you Ezra, I would start slowly and practice those Be-Bop Scales. Up and down your horn 👍👍👍
