What the hell is a mouth trumpet? Good question!
In a follow-up to our last post featuring a beat-boxing guitarist, I would like to share with everyone one of my personal favorite musicians, Raul Midon. Not only does this guy have some exceptional right hand chops, but he can sing as well as play a mean mouth trumpet.
I am always fascinated and a bit envious of guitar players who can sing at the same time that they have some pretty complex and unrelated guitar work going on.
Being able to emulate a trumpet and improvise freely over your rhythm guitar work: Now that is just unfair!
Check out 1:45 and on to see how Raul Midon takes his musicianship to another level by pulling you into his performance even more by demonstrating his improv mouth trumpet chops.
You guys know of any other guitar players who combine unique skills with their guitar playing? Share with us!

Okay Jeff, while I “hated” on the last guy because he really didn’t do anything worthwhile with his stupid mouth noises, this guy - this guy I hate because damn that’s pretty amazing. Of course, this kind of “hate” is the same kind of hate women have for other women who are way hotter than they are.

This is just a cat playing the new blues from a different perspective. Totally at one with his guitar and message - beautiful!
Right on
This is the real deal
