Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away...
Playing this known and not too complex song today.
Trumpet has an excellent sound here imho, although I did not always produce
it. Frequently vibratto was mixed into the music, so it became not very interesting.
Nevertheless, when I succeed (note, that I only played it first time today
about 30-40 minutes, so it was not very frequently cool with my trumpet
'experience', maybe one third :), I do like it. Also 15-24 part was not clear to me,
since I do not remember this part of the original song, so played just via
intervals, which sounded, but I think not too good.
Also tried to improvise in blues pentatonism.
Not with much of a success though. I can play notes and move over the
row with different steps, but it does not sound very good. Likely because
I do not know intervals and what is being sounded does not feet interesting timing.
Unfortunately couple of books and articles about improvisation I have contain too specific
for the musical theory terminology, so I frequently just do not understand, what's that.
Quite interesting happend to play some random mix of sounds and select those
sets of 3-7 ones, which sounded cool.
This looks like blind man is trying to walk around, but nevertheless I like it...
Stay tuned, maybe eventually I will record some random 'music' I produce out of my trumpet :)
