High Register

[victorandhiseuph]

Hey all!

I noticed that when I play high, I am "pinching" to get the note. Chops get tired, not too consistent, and not a full tone. I have tried really hard to not "pinch", but it is hard to play past the g above the staff without using "pinching" Any advice?

I just moved this post to the practice tips area. Please see my video on building high range:

Great video Dave! Rich Matteson is one of my personal heroes of jazz. A unique player and very much missed.
