I haven't gotten many questions, but because I'm a busy guy and I don't have internet access at home (I use hotmail at school, which is against school policy) I can't take up my entire lunch period answering questions and updating all of my pages. So I put together a list of possible questions and past ones.

Can I get you to tab a certain song for me?
Maybe. I have a lot of time on my hands so I will take a crack at the song you want if I can get my hands on a copy of it. Please don't send me MP3's. I don't have the disk space on my school account to save them then ARJ them to disk. I can't grantee you that I will get it done. Neverless the less I will put your request up on my new request page. Just e-mail me at slipperband@hotmail.com with the Name Of The Song, Band, & Album. And if a person who has tabbed the song sends it to me, I'll post it on the page and e-mail you.

How And Where Do I Submit Tabs?
Just send paste the tab into an e-mail and send it to slipperband@hotmail.com. One tab per message please, it's easier that way.

Can I Send You Tabs For Other Instruments?
No. I want to keep this page purely trumpet tabs.

HELP!, MY MOUTHPIECE IS STUCK IN MY TRUMPET!!
Let me begin by saying you are 90% screwed over!!. Getting a mouthpiece out of your lead pipe is a bitch unless you have a special mouthpiece removing pilers. They have a special shape that grips to the mouthpiece's shaped. They are REALLY expensive. All you need is some WD-40, a monkeywrench, and some elbow grease.
First spray the WD-40 down where the mouthpiece connects to the lead pipe. Stand your Trumpet up on the bell and let the WD-40 move down the pipe for 2-3 minutes.
Now grasp the mouthpiece by the skinny part just belove the fat part. Now twist it out.
Now, to prevent anymore mishaps here is the correct way to connect your mouthpiece to your trumpet.
Gently slide the mouth in until it doesn't go in anymore.
Now turn it to the right gently.
If you still think you're gonna get it stuck do this. Put vaseline around the area of the mouthpiece that insist expoused when it's in.

If I'm Not Supposed To Put My Pinky In The Ring On The Lead Pipe Why Is It There?
Some people find it uncomfortable to have their pinky on top the ring, but it can help your playing a lot. If you have your pinky on the ring you can play faster. I myself had trouble playing fast songs until a guy who played trumpet in the pit band for Phantom Of The Opera (Toronto cast) told me that if I put my pinky on the ring I'd play faster. I didn't believe him at first, but then I play the intro to Everything Sucks by Reel Big Fish. And to my surprise...he was right!. It was uncomfortable at first, but after a week it didn't bug me anymore.
And to answer your question. The reason the ring was added was to help fox hunters and soldiers ride a horse and play at the same time. I don't know why it's still there.

What Should I Use To Oil My Valves, How Oftain Should I Oil Them?
You should oil your valves with Valve Oil. You can pick some up at most music stores. Don't use any other kind of lubricated. Especially not WD-40. It gets thick and turns a clear-ish white color (I know what your thinking...you sicko) when you press the valves. This inturn jams your valves. I learned the hard way. I had to clean my valves about seven times because the stuff kept coming back (not cumming!).
You should oil them went ever you feel them getting slightly sticky.
You do this by press down the valve you want to oil and then pull out the valve slide leading to the valve. If you just pull it out you lose the vaccum of your trumpet and over time your tone will turn to shit and then you have to sell your trumpet for scrape.
Now put about three or four drops down the pipe and replace the slide.
Do this to every valve.

What's A Trumpet Snake?
A trumpet snake is sort of like a toilet brush on a flexible tubing that is used to clean the piping of a trumpet. They are very affective (a friend of mine cleaned his trumpet out and a shit load of green liquid came out). I myself don't have one, if I had a job I would went one. They retail for $10-$15 dollars and are sold at most music stores.
