Please,i want to learn how to ghost tongue like the way Clifford brown does.hes one of my heroes and i want to be able to host tongue like the way Clifford did.the video is very helpful.u r one great teacher
Thank you for your lesson. My problem is wanna understand Jazz Chords and how to improvise to suit the chord progression because sometimes i find it difficult to improvise with some chords
just find out what key the song is in or ask the piano player to play in a certain key if youre doing improv once you know the key just play any note in that key
Richard Opoku Brako this website has a pretty good explanation on how to start. www.trumpetland.com/article/basic-guide-to-start-improvising-on-the-trumpet
Thanks for the video. Randy Brecker talks about how it wasn't until he learned how to doodle tongue that he could play all the tricky, fast funk and bebop lines that he has to play. How do you approach playing fast bebop lines cleanly that use the same valve combination or wide intervals on tunes like Scrapple from the Apple or Donna Lee?
fijimorgan great question! Maybe I can demonstrate this but the trick is to play soft and light and then accent the peaks. Most people will play all the notes at the same volume and intensity but all notes are not equally important.
Really appreciate the info, Chris and again the audio of the trumpet comes through sounding very natural. Really enjoy your videos and get a lot from them!
Hey Chris, I've watched this before and you've explained doodle tonguing quite well! I've just been noticing it more and more... anyways I have been working on learning the solo from Roy Hargrove's "strausbourg st. denis" and I used to think he was swinging the 16ths, which I thought was odd, i'll share the link here. Anyway, do you have any advice on learning this and memorizing? I played trumpet in school, graduated, and am now working full time. But I'm making it more of a priority now... my background is classical but I listen to both genres. I'd love to hear your interpretation, and any advice on learning. So far i'm just taking it piece by piece, using that metronome, and slowly working the sections up. From a relatively new fan, hope you're doing well. Nick
Nick Carncross thank you for the compliment! It sounds like you’re doing the right things in your transcribing time so far. When it comes to transcribing I was taught to listen-sing-play. In that order! However, it actually ends up being more like listen, sing, listen some more, sing some more, listen a little more, sing a little More and finally play. The absolute last thing you do is put the horn to your face. This ensures that you’ve internalized the music and that’s the real goal. This is a process but ends up being THE BEST WAY internalize the music.
Doodle Tongue isn't really a technique that I use but this is the concept for you. Thanks for the question, Chow! The Trumpet Players Checklist of Books and Tools can be found here: www.trumpetlessonshq.com/ Thanks everyone!
No books. Just recordings. Listen to a lot until you develop a handful of favorites. I'll suggest Kind of Blue by MIles Davis and Something Else by Cannonball Adderley. But, there are so many more. Let me know what your favorite 2-3 jazz recordings are.
@@ChrisDavisTrumpet thank you Chris. I will continue doing it. It is a wise advise. I like Miles, Chet Baker, Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan, Coltrane...etc,.
Hi i am a chinese player I can sing doodle from slowly to quickly without my horn but can not blow with air from my mouth the same with buzzing. So i thought if doodle toungue is some kind of soft la ga toungue or doo lo ,* i want to know the toungue line in mouth one kick to the top of the tooth or two kick to the top of the tooth?thanks
Hi question. I am just picked up Flugelhorn as a beginner without experience in brass instruments at all. Question s: A.lots of people told me the embouchure is very different especially when I switch back to saxophone. I played Tenor for few years. B.when I started viewing all the great masters in UA-cam they emphasis buzzing instead of blowing. But is it true that like Tenor I need to blow in lots air to sound which same as Flugelhorn ? If I only buzz in it will be very short breath of air ! I think I really have to understand how this work. C. When I took off the three valves n put it back how can I know they are back in the right positions? I know these might sound silly questions but please share with me your answers to these questions. Tks
Kris Chung all excellent questions! I will make videos about these topics for you because I think they are important. I have a lot to say about these things. If you haven't already, please subscribe to the channel so that you can hear my answers.
Kris Chung the embouchure from trumpet to flugelhorn is the same. Buzz vs blow is a very controversial topic in the brass community and I'd like to talk about it more. The short answer is that you need both. Finally, most trumpet valves have a number marked on them so that you know which valve is which.
I played an old cornet where the valves weren't marked and would align in three different positions. With that one, you had to address the valves one at a time with trial and error until the air flowed through correctly.
oh so that what it is called, i tried learning double tonguing but i could only go really fast, and it sounds more like this "doodle tonguing" than a double tonguing. Is doodle tonguing a substitute for double tonguing? it'd be great if i didn't have to learn it because i'm bad at it
Hi, if you are a beginner then it is best to not concern yourself with getting a smoky sound just yet. Focus on getting the most clear sound you can. As you do that you will gain better physical control of the trumpet to be able to do anything you imagine.
Hey Chris, amazing video! This surely helped me a lot seeing that I'm learning trumpet when my main instrument is tuba. Just a quick question, when you were give the example of the smokey sound, what song was that melody from? I really loved the sound of it!
Hi. Me too answer to you if you want to hear something Smokie sound's song my favorite is I remember Cifu from David Pastor's cd. It's like singing You don't know what love it is ,smoothlyyy...
caleb sam have you joined the email list yet? If you have then you should be able to reply to any of the emails I sent. I'd get any messages you write.
im sorry i still did not understand how to make a dudultongue because at the beginning of the video (when you played) it sounds really dudultongue but the exp;anation about dudultongue does not that this is the result of how you played at first !i would like to know ...thanks
Hey great video. Quick question, i've studied trumpet for many years but never had any lessons in a jazz setting. What is doodle tonguing in relation to double or triple tonguing? Because it seems to be almost an addition to double tonguing? Or is it have a specific purpose? Great video by the way! You have a new subscriber!
Nick Carncross doodle tongue is 100% front of the tongue. When you say the word doodle, there is no connection to the back of the tongue. Double and triple tongue use the front AND the back of the tongue. That's why we say do-gu or do-do-gu ( front and back). Clark Terry is The only person I know that uses the doodle tongue method and uses it effectively. Thanks for subscribing! Glad to have you on! We'll talk soon!
Great video! The audio of your trumpet is very good. What is your setup for recording to get such good audio? Do you use editing software also? Thanks!
Nick great ear! It's funny because I feel like I'm still in search of the right setup. But, I'm using a Zoom H5. I have a lapel plugged in for my voice and a dynamic microphone plugged in for my trumpet. I later sync the audio to the video using Logic Pro and I spend way too much time making sure there is minimum peaking. 😂 For now, this seams to be the best setup for me. Thanks for noticing because I was truly concerned about this.
How long have you been practicing this technique? Are you using a metronome to measure? A few years back I changed my tongue technique to the anchor method and it took a year to BEGIN to get it right. I’m not saying it’s going to take you a year like it took me but Keep practicing diligently and stay encouraged and work with at teacher. These things take time but it’s worth it.
You played extremely softly to get the airy, smokey sound. Uncomfortably softly is the secret. Not many players say so. You’re going to have a mike playing this kind of music.
That airy sound is great, sounds like an old record recorded on a great mic! Love it
You’re welcome!
That intro was amazing. Added it to list of licks i ll try to learn in future
About the smoky jazz sound. Man thanks, it helped me 😉🎺
Is high register harder to play with the smoky jazz sound? 🤔
Thanks. I've noticed that I get a lovely airy sound when I start getting tired and need to rest my chops. Now I know why and this really helps.
Glad to help, Stephen!
Beautiful sounds....
Thank you for this lesson .
Great stuff, I’ll be practicing it all tonight 👍🏼 thank you sir

i enjoyed this video. you are a good teacher. and an engaging personality!
Excellent video lesson, Mr Davis. Thank you.
Sure thing! My pleasure!
boa tarde, seus videos são maravilhosos, porém gostaria de saber qual técnica voce usa para articular no jazz??
Very thanks, Mr. Chris!
Can you do a video on how to do fast lip trills?
Thank you for your lesson. My problem is wanna understand Jazz Chords and how to improvise to suit the chord progression because sometimes i find it difficult to improvise with some chords
just find out what key the song is in or ask the piano player to play in a certain key if youre doing improv once you know the key just play any note in that key
Jakub Kopras yeah to start. But that’s why they call them chord changes. Because the chords change and you gotta play within the chords
Richard Opoku Brako this website has a pretty good explanation on how to start.

Thank you Chris. God bless you too.

Is there a video of you playing "Misty" all the way through? I love the ornamentation and would like to learn it thanks.
2nd this 🙏🙏
I haven't recorded misty but I suppose that this is something that I could do. It would be fun! 🎺😀

It works
yeah!
Right on! Thanks!
Wow you are amazing
nice video. you look like wayne brady btw
😆 This is like the fourth time someone has told me that so I guess there is something to it. 😆
No matter how much I try, I can't seem to work my tongue up to speed to be able to doodle tongue fast.

You've got a smokey jazz voice too, btw, and smokey jazz trumpet that probably costs $5k or more, am I right. Doodlin' along here. ciao.
