There was so much positive feedback from our 2 previous episodes with Pedro Eustache (episodes 187 & 188), we decided to add a 3rd episode.
In this Bonus episode with the world-class woodwind specialist, Pedro Eustache, we wound up talking about:
How he transports all his instruments when performing with Hans Zimmer
How Pedro creates new instruments
How to play what you hear in your head
An improvisation tip about playing conceptually and a Coltrane example
Pedro’s 3 principles for transcribing
An exercise to play through the changes
And more!
