How to Use the First and Third Valve Slides on the Trumpet 

This is the second video that I like as soon as I see the Tuna. But the video about the slides is also amazing

I played trumpet in my high school band (2nd chair at the end of 8 years), and not once was there any discussion about using tuning slides. A more innocent age?

U r the only one who cleared my confusion on these slides. Thanx a lot

Thank you! Great energy and humor to make "intonation," a beginning level (or any level) concept! I came from a woodwind mind-set (clarinet) and now trying my chops on the wind trumpet. So far, I had been avoiding the tuning slides, and you can imagine the sound was not good, and my frustration! I more or less figured out that the slides had something to do with the muffled sound I was getting, and the tendency to crack the note before getting that crisp, clean, note I was looking for. What kind of tuner do you recommend for a beginner? You are awesome!!

Thought of this recently and your video was suggested. Thanks for sharing.

Very informative and helpful video. Thank you! Started experimenting with the 3rd valve slide on my Burbank Benge and found compression keeps making the 3rd valve dump slide pop out. Any suggestions? Maybe I should change the type of lubrication on the slide? Thanks!

Thanks for the information about using both slides. Just started playing again, after three years absence.

Very entertaining AND educational

4:00 why did he just flex on all of us like that

great video, thanks

Hello, what tuner app are you using? Thanks.

Thanks a lot Bobby, that was really helpful to me. I’m new to the trumpet and trying develop how I hold it and to set up and use that third valve slide on my brand new Jupiter (without a mentor because of Covid-19 😕). No one else has said how you “kick” that slide out with your _second_ finger and pull it back with the third finger, right? Best wishes, Peter

Do you use a different grease for the 1st and 3rd valve slides?

great lesson thankyou

Love the vid

its a tuna bro hahah thanks man pretty cool tutorial

Thanks for the video! But you have to make another one regarding tuning. How about the A or Bb in the staff? Don't u kick out the first slide for them as well?

Would it be a bad thing if you already learned the d and c# with the 1st valve slide because that's what I've been doing and no one really comments on the intonation of those notes.

What's the name of the app on phone

New to the trumpet, if there is no first valve slide, what should I do/know? Thanks for your video!

All brass Instruments always play the correct tone, by physics. The villain is 12 Tone Equal Temperament and that musicians like eating and living indoors.

I played cornet/trumpet all during high school and no one taught me about those slides.

what if i got no first valve slide

You are my god

How hard would be to learn on a trumpet with no 1st tunning slide?

You are my god.

Ralph wants to learn slide trumpet. Tell me. Is Ralph a Bengal Cat?

legit

Can't you lip them into key?

Love the video, but why’re you so sweaty bro😂😂

But the middle F and E are also very sharp.

Why so fast ? Slow down

I see you've changed mouthpiece. What model is this?

You wasted our time with the cat but it was the right thing to do - more cat !! ^_^

You look like Seth Rogan a bit in this video.

Since with did skinny Seth Rogan start playing trumpet

Trumpet? Mouthpiece?

The Waffle House has found it’s new host

Put. The. Cat. Down.

You are my god
