I really liked that you included the cornet in the comparison (usually videos just include the other two) and that you played the same phrases on both instruments to give us a good sound comparison!

Hi, Chris! I’m enjoying your lessons. I’m a saxophone player, pro for 30 years. I’m self-taught, and I’ve always played by ear rather than analysis, but obviously there are some tunes that are a little difficult to do that with. Take the one I’m shedding now: Tomorrow’s Destiny. There’s no way I could find my way through that by ear, so I’m doing the arpeggio thing, although I have a hard time with the discipline required to play similar formulations on every chord. This lesson reminded me that it doesn’t have to be hard unless you make it hard. Thanks.

It's still amazing to me how most players - whether beginner, teacher, professionals - insist on using the term "lip" slurs. Like @amandas1270's comment, I too struggled mightily with this concept until a Claude Gordon clarified that it requires disciplined use of the tongue, with the lips simply maintaining a secure embouchure. I'm a literal thinker and when I heard "lip slur" I actually tried to accomplish it by flexing/relaxing my lips! Of course, no player can do that without involving the tongue. I wonder how many other young players like me have trouble because of the totally misleading term "lip slur".

@@ChrisDavisTrumpet they have these mints called, 'TheraBreath' that's for dry mouth. I pretty much follow like the old time I say because I didn't have no other point of reference. So I'll brush my teeth without toothpaste. I always rinse my mouth piece off because I have gotten sick because some kids picked up and played my horn. And I find that if I don't wash my mouthpiece off everyday that I get this hairline cut that goes through my lip from it. A trumpet is a filthy instrument... And I have broken my teeth playing 6 and 7 hours a day during the pandemic but, that's the price you have to pay because, once you start playing the trumpet you can't stop. I messed my lips up one time and I had to quit playing for about 2 weeks and it seemed like I just had to start all the way over...

@@ChrisDavisTrumpet in one last thing, I have read 94 books on jazz in the last 10 years and the reason I don't read as much as because I've read all the classics and the stuff that I looking for now is in archived libraries... I would tell you to read the autobiography of Sidney bechet and a bass player in New Orleans that play with King Oliver and went with him in 1917 to chicago, his name is pops Foster and you can find his autobiography... And if you really like crazy horn players stuff then, there's a guy named mezz mezzrow and he wrote a book called 'Really the Blues...

The reason why most people don't practice every day is, they put their trumpet in a case. Buy yourself a stand, put it next to your easy chair while you watch TV and you will play two to three times more than what you are playing now. it's the greatest advice I never took for 25 years. once I did this everything changed for me. Steve Vai said this an article back in the 80s and I did not listen... The worst mistake I ever made in my life when it comes to music

It seems like mouthpiece one has more options for colors in the sound, option two is very centered in the pitch and has a broad sound but with less variation. Personally as an improvising trumpet player, I like mouthpieces that allow for the biggest change in color that I’m hearing in my head.
