slurs like what a trumpet or sax player can do, rather than having to cheat by articulating softly in order to try to sound like we are slurring on a trombone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Check out the following video for an example of how to use natural slurs to play the turns in this example.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tennessee All-State Jazz Trombone Swing Etude Boro Blues - Turn Tips\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/amOcDKoODVQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
