Trumpet solos?
Well, that really depends on alot of things. For one, is this a Jazz song or a Classical or Rock song? Also, You need to know the chords being played. I don't know how much you know, so I hope this doesn't insult you, or not make any sense. I hope some of these help-





C Major triad (this works for most stuff in C)


C, E, G, (Dominant 7= B flat, Major 7= B for all C scales)





C Minor triad (this has a flat 3)


C, E flat, G





Blues in Concert B flat, your C (Use this if you're playing a jazz solo)


C, E flat, F, F sharp, G, B flat, C


(That might be wrong, I havn't done jazz scales in a long time)





C 12 bar blues pattern (a standard version)


C, C, C, C


F, F, C, C


G, F, C, C


(most of the time chords are dominant 7ths)





Triads work well at the beginnings and ends of your phrases. You can use notes that are in the scale, and even chromatic notes, but don't use them as often as triad notes. Many famous solos are workings of triad notes with a few others here and there. There's no real right or wrong answer as to what you can and can't play. Just see what phrases sound good, and build on them. You probably know most of this, since you've played for 6 years, but maybe it will help.
Reply:These are the sites I used back when I began learning more music theory and jazz improvisation, and they are incredibly useful. Both sites are wonderfully in-depth and will help you more than even some books would. They may seem lengthy, but everything is necessary to gain a mastery of the music!
