Ahhh! Bob, you 'sound' like my sort of trumpet player - it gets better, trust me - but you sure have some regular work ahead. Don't be put off by slow progress, it WILL come, but there are no silver bullets - the only path is by hard work. It is said that it takes five years to make a half competent musician, but only two to produce a fighter pilot. I'm in aircraft, and I play trumpet - the quote is essentially true - have faith in self. As Bart Simpson would say "Have a cow, man."
