Mac, if you do not mind explaining to a guitar player so he can tell the trumpeter how to execute the accent would be helpful.



Tell him that when he gets to that note, he has to push like he's takin' a crap.

That gets the all-important diaphragm muscles involved.

It is the air velocity that does the breath accent, and yields the higher notes, too. If he's pushin' the horn into his face to get to the higher notes, that ain't the way its done, son.

Then send him home to practice same, for it likely won't come in one session.

And situps.

if ya wanna play the Trumpet and be somebody at it, ya gotta do those situps.

I still try to do 50 every mornin'. Okay, every other mornin' or so now...
