That does it - I've got to

That does it - I've got to start on those third position lessons. And damn - that tone! How do you keep it that rich on the bends? If I make it a major focus, I can sometimes get a fair tone on unbent notes, but it completely disappears on the bends, especially the squeaky four draw. Really cool stuff - please give us more!

Sweet!!!

I was away when I got notice of this and couldn't access the sound track on my IPhone!! - Pity!!! Sweet trombone/horn like tone that mere mortals would kill for ;-) Seriously - great idea here David and a super (only slightly intimidating) start. Can we use backing tracks and record against them or ??? Thanks for another great addition.

Thanks & Sure

Hi David!!!

I really like this song :)

Fantastic tone!!! you used the MegaTone WEZO-45 ?

Fantastic how the song build up,
especially i like the licks at 1:24 i think it's in third position (with head shakes and octaves)

in the ending chorus the shake ( 7-8 draw) like how it sound amplified!!!

Great Performance,

Best Regards

Marko
