- 00:00 - Worst intro ever?
1:21 - Music experience & when I started trumpet
3:50 - How I make my solos
5:25 - Who and what I listen to
7:19 - Better outro than intro
Some questions I’ve also had in the past:
Trumpet model - Bach Strad Model 37
Trumpet mouthpiece - honestly don’t know for sure as it doesn’t have an engraving and got it years ago, but I think it’s either a 3B, 7C or 7E as I also have another 7E and 3B and those were the only mouthpieces I used when playing classical stuff so it wouldn’t be too dissimilar from them.
Flugelhorn - Yamaha Custom
Flugel mouthpiece - Phil Parker FL66
Microphone - Audio Technica AT2020
Audio interface - Audient iD14
Software I use - Logic Pro for audio, DaVinci Resolve for video editing.

Hey guys, I know I only answered a couple questions but I wanted to give you proper detailed answers rather than answer loads of questions really quickly. I’d be happy to do a quicker style vid where I answer more questions in a shorter time frame if that’s something you’d like to see? Feel free to ask me any other questions you might have! I’d also like to know what you thought of this video and if you’d like more of these chilled out kinda vids. Happy to do more! Road to 100K here we go 🎺
Do you include references to previous songs of yours in your videos? I have seen similar 'saucy licks' in multiple videos of yours.
Fantastic video Oli! Love listening to you! Thank you so much 🥰🙏🥰
The detailed answers make it feel intimate, it's nice to see the personal side of artists like you as wel. Definitely do more of this format if you're comfortable with that, really enjoyed this one!
@@Zobgo_Islander I think I do but sometimes without really thinking about it. I remember I’ve referenced the slim shady solo a couple times in later tracks but can’t remember which ones!
Thanks for the terrific video!!!
Can’t wait to hear the voice behind the trumpet! Seriously I’ve loved your songs and it’s inspired me to push on and on in developing more skillsets and pushing on my soloing, thank you oli!
From one trumpet player to another - you are awesome!! I always look forward to your content!
appreciate it :)
Can't wait! I feel like its gonna be weird putting a voice with the face though. The only sound you've ever made is the sound of a trumpet or a flugel
I discovered Oli before you and I know this fellas going to make headlines news! He's fantastic! His contributions speak to our sole and open minds. Refreshing! 🎺 ✨️ ❤ 😊
You are highly talented. Thank you for creating such a nice music videos for us. Keep it up, ways to go 👍
You’re welcome, thanks for coming back to watch them!
My musical brother, I’ve played the horn since I was 10 and am now 64, you little brother are such a breath of fresh air, love your playing, tone, versatility, sound,range, I can’t listen enough, bless you, thank you
Watching your shorts has actually helped me a lot in my endeavors. Been able to play first parts on Count Basie tunes as well as some tricky off-beat funk tunes because I've improved so much! Inspiring to see what you can do Oli.
Just thought I'd say this was nice getting to know you (by means of this video). I'm a trombone player, my oldest is a trombone player, and my other child is a trumpet/flugelhorn player, and we are all tuned in to your channel. We love your playing and what you do with the sheet music scrolling along as you play (curious what program you use to capture your improvisation?). You've shown my kids what is possible if you keep working at it. Thank you for keeping REAL music alive.
Oh man, I've been looking forward to this for a while! Can't wait!
Missed the premiere but thanks for the great Q&A! I'm glad I'm not the only one that sort of took a break from playing for a bit (my trumpet lived in the case for about 10 years after college while trying to get my software dev career off the ground). It's definitely been nice playing again over the last couple years, though. It's giving me something to focus on in terms of improving my skills outside of something that might be related to work. Looking forward to part 2!
Loved this! 💗
Love listening to your solos on all the amazing songs you use, I also try to play along but some of you’re jazz rythyms are pretty hard lol, good stuff man!
Hi Oli! I'm an old guy who worked in and eventually ran many night clubs over several years; mostly jazz and some blues. I can say without a doubt that you have so much to offer to the whole scene. You'd be a hit down here in New Orleans!
Well done, keep up the good tunes. Thx
Been a player forever myself here in Chicago... and I can vouch that you have great talent... and we much appreciate you sharing your playing an coaching and comments !!
Bro, you are so good that every time I think I'm good at the trumpet, I watch your video to fact check myself.
I love all of your solos! Got an idea for May the 4th, should totally do a "what if the cantina song had a trumpet solo". Would love to hear your take on that
this is a great idea, let's do it
Bro u r handsome
Your trumpet skills are amazing keep going brother
thank you 🎺
Wow I think I subscribed to you at 5k. Fells like no time has gone by and your already at 50k! Congrats
thanks for your support so early on! That was probably when I was just making shorts once every 2 months haha
I WAS INVISIONING YOU AS AN AMERICAN THIS WHOLE TIME NOT A POSH EUROPEAN GUY WHAT (love your voice and music keep it up bro)
You could put me to sleep.
Your voice sounds like a meditation app.
Also ... exactly 8:00 minutes ...
Can't wait for part 2!
Well done on your first spoken video mate, I like it.
thanks :)
J'adore ton improvisation sur Havana !!! Tu es très fort !!!!
I also love metal. Not only the progressive scene but most of the other subgenres too. I find technical death metal inspiring because they always play something harder than what I can even touch so attempting to learn that type of music pushes my boundaries
there's a lot of metal I don't particularly like that much, but the bunch of artists I mentioned really hit the spot for me and have such unique sound worlds
nice to hear you talking about your experience and only playing for nineteen years. listening to you i have clearly wasted a lot of effort not practicing properly. it's not what you practice but how you practice that counts. really enjoying your videos, loving the super clean sound you produce. some really good players have aweful sounds, i've been blessed with having some fabulous players around me.
I didn't used to practise for long, generally 30 minutes a day but they were productive 30 minutes rather than 2 hours of faff. Thanks for your support
@@oliparker your welcome, now hooked on your videos.
Sii!! Preguntas es questions jajajajaj grande, saludos desde españa
haha that's good
great video my boy new mic sounds swexy
I listen to a lot of horn players, James Morrison was my favorite, but you have a style that got me hooked. Waiting to see if you get a band together. You got the sound!!!
I discovered you from your collab with LeGrand and it was really cool. +new sub
ah no way! Thank you :)
@@oliparker no problem! :D
Ayyyyy a fellow Klezmer fan!!!!
I've been watching you since the havana solo and i've been up to date ever since. I play trumpet and i aspire to be like you. Im a sophmore and im trying to improve. You got great tone. It so strange hearing your voice. Its way deeper than i thought😅
I picked up my trumpet back after 6 years and even purchased a flugelhorn
I'm trying really hard to get better now, since I lost so much
Was shocked to hear you say Sousa and Klezmer - both super fun styles, just not what I imagined as your original influence! Playing trumpet in a band in America, I have a love/hate relationship with Sousa haha, we get all the melodies, but it's a bit overdone here.
Anyway, great "first" video, like to have these sprinkled in between the solo/music uploads.
yeah I can imagine Sousa is very popular with the bands over there, I don't listen to it anymore but it probably got me wanting to play a brass instrument in the first place
Lovely video! One day I’m going to push my comfort zone and compose a song. But question, did you go to any type of university?
Good to hear your voice cant wait for that for that techniques video I play trumpet and flugel and dream to sound as clean as you
I can't watch the whole video right now but the first thing that struck me is how balanced your mic is, it's got one of the most natural frequency responses I've ever heard! What model is it?
Hi Oli! I Really enjoy watching your videos! Great job man!! Also can u recommend a good trumpet teacher London based? Thx!
LETS GOOOO I KNEW IN MY HEART HE WAS BRITISH TOO
i love your work! keep it up!
have you tried playing the trombone after you learned trumpet? i’d be curious to hear what you would do with the instrument
I do play it actually, just not as well as trumpet haha
W
This man listens to Owane... O.O
I’m over the moon
I'm a flugelhorn player in a Brass Band - cool to see that you listen to the same artists as me! Did you manage to go to any of the Plini, Owane & Jack Gardiner gigs earlier this month?
Yes! Saw them in Bristol couple weeks back :)
Would you mind telling me which flugelHorn you play?
Hi, Im 22 and In 2 weeks im gonna take a trial lesson for the flügelhorn :) My question is if you are planning on making tutorial based content? Cuz, even though you may think differently, i actually like your way of talking and i think it would be good for advice vids. You give relaxed vibes 👌🏽
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Also does anyone here knows good sources to learn/practice the flügelhorn online? Like TH-cam channels or different kind of media.
Clicked so fast on this
some bands/artists i think you might like: kadinja, jakub zyteki, the helix nebula, stephen taranto, michael hermes, erra :)
yes, have heard of all apart from Michael Hermes and Erra I think, saw Zytecki live couple weeks ago supporting Plini - he was incredible! Thanks for the recommendations - all definitely up my street
👏😆❤
And I need tutorial for learn your experience for crate solos and good melodies
Real talk though. What is your favourite valve oil flavour???
You sound almost exactly how I imagine lol
Do you play chess?
have you been in an orchestra?
Hey man! I am just starting trumpet, I started in 6th grade, and am now in 7th, but I have played in my before school jazz band, and my (8th grade level) concert band, and the high school band teacher is not the teacher I would like to progress with, so I was wondering if you would be interested in mentoring a semi-intermediate trumpet player in a year or 2? ➡please make this top comment!! ⬅I would like to possibly go into proffesional trumpet playing, and making a jazz ensemble to jam with in the streets with my friends, but i still want to learn more. I was thinking meybe somthing virtual like a google meet, or zoom call a coulple times per week and meybe get payed or something, but trumpet is my jam rn, and I don't plan to stop any time soon. meybe see u in a couple of years!
Huge fan bro, great tone
do you play in any orchestra or band? if not, why? and also whats your source of income?(honestly its not actually you as its about music and a musicians life, cause i wanna know if its possible to have a decent income only by doing music)
you are literally the guy i want to be like
I need subtitles because speak basic english. But if you speak spanish, that is great
I'm so confused why the comments are saying they can't wait to hear your voice. Are you all watching the video??
He's freaking British son of a gun
holy crap you're british
I thought you're french
You sound a lot like DanTDM except in a more Charles White tone
Who taught you ?
NOOO HES BRITISH
