| Personally, when things aren't clicking, I find that the problem is rarely my chops. The problem is either that I'm not moving air very well, or that I don't have a desirable sound programmed in my head. Often a combination thereof.
If things aren't clicking, don't judge what's coming out of your bell. Just step back, re-program a good sound, and fire away again. More often than not, it will be much better. If things go badly for a while, sometimes it's better to just put the horn away for the rest of the day and not think about it. Hope that helps!
