You can try moving your tongue forward and backwards as if you were saying “ooo eee ooo eee”.

I mean i know how to lip trill I can do it on notes like A and Bb above that G its just the G is in a really weird spot of the horn

In what situation would you ever need to lip trill a double high G? Other than a party trick, that is not something that is useful. Put your time and effort into fundamentals that are applicable to the standard repertoire of the trombone.

Funny, I filmed these after doing around 3+hours of fundamentals that day. So thanks for your input. And if your really wondering, Hungarian Shcanpsoide.

Oh and just for some clarification I can only hit double G at all because of the attention to detail in the fundamentals.

If this is a genuine question I can give a genuine answer.

However, in my 20-year career of playing at the highest level full-time, I've never been asked to trill any higher than an F#.
