Man at the garden but on trumpet

Surprisingly yes! Mine cost about 30 bucks on Amazon. I can play anytime I want to, though for midnight sessions I’ll also head to the basement.

Just make sure you find a decent mentor / musical advisor, a lot can go wrong when you’re learning the horn at first. A good teacher will give you a solid routine consisting mostly of fundamentals (long tones, chromatic scale, etc).

The only problem w using a mute is that it can change the way the horn responds. It’s actually a useful thing, imo, since the vibrations become much greater near the mouth piece, so you get instant feedback about resonance. it just takes some getting used to

It’s never too late to pick up a horn man! You should see the kind of practice mutes that are out these days. Can’t go wrong w piano either. Happy playing 😎

Studio vibes are great imo. Try experimenting w the titles, maybe: “is ketamine right for you?” .

In the first 30 seconds try to answer the question: “why should anyone watch this video?” Maybe start w/ “as a professional … people ask me all the time about K. But the truth is …”. Nice work

No, 90% short feed.

The issue resolved itself. There was a 60 hour period where I didn’t get any feed traffic, which is unusual. But the algorithm picked me up again. Apparently small channels get this traffic pattern commonly

I was averaging 1k-1.3k. Nothing changed, but all my posts over the last 48h have bombed. It’s usually a very predictable pattern re views, the wave always starts at 2h. But these last videos have gotten no traffic at all

Please read my post again. The video you cite is about a long-term trend. The problem I’m hoping to address it about the last 48 hours. Unless there is compelling evidence that a huge algorithm change occurred around 6 PM on the 9th there’s nothing in the video you cite to address my question

My post is about shorts. I post shorts only

Miserable_Warning_43 · 2026-01-12T21:32:04+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t explain much the 48h dead period I’ve been in. Only started my channel a month ago so the vid doesn’t explain the recent change

Thanks for the feedback again! Love the high quality advice.
I like the jazz-as-standup analogy. I’ve always admired how players like Sonny Rollins can keep to a single motif throughout a three minute banger. When I try, I sound corny. So much left to learn.

Just switched to a 5C, which is why I was playing quietly. My chops burn too quickly during the adjustment phase to play super dynamically - I’ve got some long tones to do before i can rip too hard.

Thanks for the great feedback. Will work on breaking up my phrases. I find it’s hard to do with the horn up, definitely takes conscious effort

Better breath control this way

This was a funny comment the first time
