Lesson transcript:
Adding Grit to the Last Note
One other bit of grit we can add to this to get down and dirty is the very last note. Instead of just striking it as a note on its own, we could maybe do a rise up to it or a drop, a fall away from the note.
Let me demonstrate that now.
Demonstration
I'll just play the last phrase, the last bar: 1, 2, 3.
There I went up to the note.
Half Valve Technique
How did I do that? Well, I used the valves, just like we did in the bends, where we were lazy with the valves. I used what's called half valve technique.
- If you press your valves halfway down, the holes which connect up with the slides are not fully open.
- So, it changes the sound like this. It gives it a kind of squash sound.
And if we blow through that, we might find that it's hard work. We have to blow more air through it.
Creating the Slide
But if you blow through that whilst you're speeding the air up to going up to that F at the end, then we can get what's called a slide, a slide going up. It's like a glissando.
That's the slow version. Learn to do it slowly first, and then we can try doing it quickly.
You have a go!
