trombone map

This visual represents the map in my head when I improvise on trombone.

 

The multi-colored lines trace a chromatic scale, with the horizontal line connecting alternate positions and the junction between registers. The purple grid is a map of major triads for the middle range. The numbers are slide position. Alternate position in the outer extremities are less commonly used but can come in handy.

 

This is pretty much the full practical range of a slide trombone. I bet that graphing the alternate positions of a trombone with an F-key Attachment would look even more interesting.
