Guitar for me. Though transposing changes in my head for trumpet is a complication. Sometimes I'll even visualize the chord on guitar and bump it up a step.
Honestly I'm a better guitarist than trumpeter, and because it's more versatile, I'll find myself shifting to it for a more needed rhythm section role. But there's so many guitar players, and trumpet is more of a unique voice. |

tunes in as many keys as you can..Start with Blues in all keys
move on to "I got Rhythm" in all keys,and when you feel
proficient move on to Standards in all keys..I do this with my
students and they really improve fast..There are Aebersolds
for this and youtube backing tracks..You can get Irealpro
which allows you to practice tunes at any tempo/any key
so you can get a grip on things at "Tempo de Learno"
Of course learning theory is great and knowing about guide tone lines.
After you do these things..and only when you are confident,
then we must remember what the great Miles Davis said:
Practice this stuff at home but when you get on the bandstand, forget all that
s..t!
Or something like that.. |
Good advice!

I started on piano as well, and it really helped me understand music while learning the trumpet. Especially learning jazz harmonies. I was fortunate to have a former Airmen of Note pianist as a mentor at my university, and he had a super easy and understandable approach to everything.
