| Re: Whistling
Whistling is one of the best things you can do to unlock your musical potential. A couple of years ago I was recording alongside the great Cuban trumpet player "Guajiro" Mirabal from the well known group Buena Vista Social Club. He had a few solos to do on the recording. He would ask the engineer to play the track and he would whistle a solo. He then asked them to record the next take and he would play the same solo he just whistled! He believed that whistling gets you away from the limitations the trumpet places on your musical expression. Since then I do lots of transcribing of myself whistling over play along tracks. I have found this is better for my creativity as I am transcribing my ideas instead of someone's else's.
