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! 

In case you did not listen to Episodes 187 or 188, here’s a brief Bio on Pedro…
