| welcome to the TM,
i'm a Sr. in HS and within the last 6 months i've discovered my "high" chops. there really is nothing like nailing that high F at the end of a concert is there? I've been playing lead for my HS for 2 years now, and lead for the college jazz band for a year now, and it's fun. I'm finding that with jazz, you really need to pay attention to articulation and time. Once you get good, try to focus on playing the correct style. I'm having a hard time switching between lead and the hummel. surprisingly, clark stuff lays down nicely. another thing about being a lead player is you have to be rock solid. The rest of the band keys off of you and if you're swingin', they will too. Good luck and have fun! |
