as a guitar player, I can assure you that most guitarists think they know the arpeggios but they can't identify where the 3rd the fifth and the seventh are. When improvising jazz most guitarists think of the mode for each chord instead of emphasising on the chord tone. there are very few jazz guitar teachers tell their students to use chord tone when landing on the down beat or 1st beat and 3rd beat.

Beautiful Tito and band!

Firm corners, flat Chin, fast air...

Good stuff! 👍

Thank you for giving the nod to Stamp, Caruso, and Cichowicz! Too many social media gurus ignore crediting where their brilliant techniques came from. Kudos, from an old jazzer. Also, I believe the air attack on the first long-tone note is cRuCiAL!

Thanks for the nice Vid. I enjoyed it. Pops

Please get to it. Please - you’re rattling - share it

Thank You for very good practical advice. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Brilliant tip and so easy to forget and get into the terrible position of forcing the sound and muscling the mouthpiece onto the face.

I've played by ear , your helping me out tremendously by helping me find out what I've been hearing all these years 👍👋😊

I play a clarinet so I just adapt lol

Yeah I added in lip buzzing, mouthpiece buzzing, and leadpipe buzzing many years ago. I think it's really beneficial, but I have no illusion that it resembles real playing. And all of those combined is less than 5 minutes a day. I think it's just a good embouchure builder. It helps make tone production easier when you add the horn. Some people try to go psycho with it and spend like 30 minutes doing all that.

Haha bar gigs with no monitor. Or there is one, but they shut off the trumpet mic. Lol. Everytime.

First time with you. So much fun thank you

FANTASTIC video and suggestions!

Youre damn good GREAT TIPS.

I have watched a few of your videos - they are all good, but this was perfect for me! Thanks! I am now subscribed and am looking forward to more.

i did my breath support by doing ha- ha-ha- ha-ha ( like laughing) with my diaphragm. So that is wrong?

I'm a wet-lip player and that is why I have a life-long addiction to chap stick.

Thanks Tito. I’m learning a lot from you!!

Amazing man! Love it!

My struggle is that it seems like I’m never able to get fully “away from the written page” unless I shut down the theory in my mind completely. Otherwise I’m always thinking about the changes/form but on stuff I know by heart I can shut that part of my brain off and I get glimpses of playing completely by ear and it’s magical. It feels like I’m authentically communicating rather than just playing the right pattern for the right chord and I get completely into flow. I guess there’s a part of my that wonders how you actually bridge the gap between the technical/theoretical and the purely aural because when I tap into that I’m not thinking about the changes at all. I just hear the changes and melody in my head and respond to it. It seems to me like practicing that skill by working on audiation would be the most direct route to fluent improvisation but everyone both in my personal life and online constantly push the theory and analysis method as the primary way to advance in improvisation but I feel like I’m not able to simultaneously flow and think about the changes. They seem like mutually exclusive processes to me.

My God, thanks Tito !!!

Love it 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Many thanks tito u r great❤

I like 3Fs and I'd add 4s F...Fu#k lip bussing...I think lip bussing is a good only for worm up...If you can whistle from low to hi sound using lip muscles using right Embouchure, right mouthpiece, strong air breathing into mouthpiece hole like playing flute and brain you can play the trumpet...Make sure do not use too much pressure on your lips...use muscles and air pressure...If your lips turns blue you are in big trouble...you are stopping the blood supply to your lips...stop to play immediately...Good luck!!!

Thank you Tito! This is like therapy for me. Super useful and helpful!

Tine Thing Helseth is the most effortless player I have ever seen.

Tito - thanks so much for this. Great tips. Can’t wait to leverage these to improve upper register efficiency for myself and son.

I really haven’t played since 1994… I would pick it up once every 2-3 years and play a few notes. Now it’s 2024 and I’m 47 years old. Got convinced to play with this group. Got back to practicing… watching your videos… I’m more mature and my vocabulary etc have improved… you bring a theory and technique that I NEVER heard any professional teacher etc have said. My nephew is an instructor etc has a masters in music and I never had discussions like this … but then again he teaches string and piano…😂 Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work.

Thanks so much for your sharing. I’m looking forward to trying the tips.

Tito, I appreciate that you have a calm, common sense approach to the way you teach. Thank you...

cool

I am starting to play some notes in the upper register. I started playing the trompet three years ago. Since I am retired, I have all the time in the world, I practice and rest a lot every day. I never had a teacher, only have my right arm. But I believe I am getting better everyday. Starting to read and play notes. The timing is where I have a little problem, but at my 70 years of age, I am very excited to play my trumpet.

One night I was toying with my trumpet and I put it on my lips while thinking about something else and out came this clear loud double C. A whole octave beyond normal. I was like wtf?? It felt dead easy when it came out but I could not repeat it.

Tito, I am a new subscriber. I told you I only have my right arm, but my heart is in the music. I like when you have the notes written down, but no problem, I can write them on the music sheet and practice, practice and practice

Tito, this video was excellent, I happened to only have my right arm, I also know that I wouldn't be able to use the valve to play low F#, nor any low register notes, I used my lips to play low notes. I started learning from scratch almost three years ago. I don't understand much of the Jazz definition. It is kind of hard learning on my own, but not impossible. I have learned all my notes, the Chromatic Scale, C scale, D scale that has a F#, and a C#. F scale that has a Bb.and so on. I am 70 years old, but in excellent health conditions. I practiced every day as much as I rested my lips. Timing is something I need to work on, but I can achieve high notes, I also know that it takes time. I am very positive and confident. I gave you a thumbs up, you deserve it. Thanks for taking the time. I don't understand some wording due to not being born in the USA, but do understand most of everything you teaching.

Thanks for the recs on videos Tito. Much appreciated. Good stuff here!

thank you sosososo much!

How can I come to Chicago and see you play live?

no habia entendido la embocadura hasta que vi este viedo y hoy ya pude tocar mis primeras notas de manera adecuada, sin hacer esfuerzos para sacar aire.

Dude, this was so helpful. As a comeback player who always struggled with control and endurance or quiet playing high--I had learned as a kid to go up with tighter mouth corners and aaaah-eeeee jaw position but also counter-productive hand pressure. But as a kid, I heard nothing about tongue position or even airspeed. Watching other YT videos recently, I'd figured out that I needed to eliminate the hand pressure and create a venturi effect in the mouth by raising the tongue and moving the air faster, but I was doing it with just the back of the tongue. I could slur up to higher notes much more easily by raising the back of the tongue, but I still couldn't tongue them without straining. Watching the MRI clips here, I see those two players are also, and importantly, getting the middle and front part of their tongues up near the roof of their mouths, and they're doing it much earlier going up in register than I would have guessed was needed. Back to the drawing board unlearning bad habits for me, but I think this will help a lot, because I've felt stuck, and this gives me something concrete to work towards instead. Thank you, Tito!

hi, how many time did they told you you look like Dizzy Gillespie???

I like it

how long to be able to comfortably play the high C in classical repertoire?. current range is about an A maybe B above the staff. wanna delve into Bach and Telemann.

Oh yea! M.A. the G.O.A.T for sure. I can play on either. When you wet the mouthpiece at the beginning you wet your lips but then after a short time the wetness dries up and the mouthpiece sticks to the mouth. either way you are playing 'sticky' eventually. I bought almost every single thing Maurice Andre did growing up. I was fascinated by him. His sound was so pure and he would add breath accents at key moments in the music and I had never heard anyone before or since do that. His sound to me defines what trumpet is. probably still is the best piccolo player ever, even eclipsing todays greats. Wynton was great too but he didn't have the extra finesse of the pure classical style.

I love all music and all the great musicians that do it. but I gotta ask, why so do many Jazz guys do these screaming notes? I don't think I have ever heard these screamers being articulated with double or triple tonguing with beautiful clarity. I am far more impressed with a player who could do a high F# or G and be able to play it without distortion, and little pressure and being articulated well. how much pressure is being used here? Because guys like Ferguson and other high register jazz guys do use a hell of a lot of pressure to achieve those screamers. I am able to play beautifully to a high A above the staff and on good days I can beautifully articulate a high C. I would be perfectly happy to have my range increased to an F# or G to be able to play the 'clarino' register on a natural Trumpet. but I still appreciate that these are very high notes. just not my thing I guess.

So killing Tito!!!!!!

Hi Tito - at the end, you introduced the left-handed approach, but didn’t explain this significance of why it’s important to hold the trumpet with your left hand during the exercise. Can you please explain?
