445. The easy method to improvise with a trombone over a known chord progression (e.g. 12BB, 8BB etc)

We add here a simple technique to improvise over such 8BB chords patterns  too with the tenor trombone which emphasizes the glissando ability of the trombone..

We must notice that from any note we are in the diatonic scale during a chord there is always a note of the chord at most an interval of 3rd away! 

1) So the method is tho start with an arbitrary note and correct it with the slide by at most an interval of 3rd to a note that fits the chord.

2) When we want  a much higher or lower note during the chord or because the chord changed we just blow harder or softer for a higher or lower overtone (partial) at the same position and then we correct it if necessary with the slide! 

3) The whole process becomes easier if we are on the 3rd octave of overtones where the overtones form the major tonal chord (with a  7nth) . And for this the best idea is to utilize a french-horn mouthpiece for the tenor trombone!
