This has to be one of the smoothest solos I have ever heard on trombone. This guy’s tone on high notes is ridiculously good and his ability to string together notes so smoothly is amazing.
@@twoplus6924That's when notes get a little wonky, in my experience. It's also where some of my bad habits start to kick me in the butt. To play up there, if you need any guidance, just keep a steady airstream with more air coming out as you get higher. Additionally, keep your embouchure in check. You'll get no favors for having a loose embouchure, or moving it to compensate.
This is actually achievable by mortals on the trumpet. Pedal tones are way easier than trying to hit a note that's already high on a trumpet on a trombone.
Fingerings?? Actually, the positions are not the problem! For example if you play a D in the 4th position in a lower octave, you can also play it in 4th in the octave above. Also, most of the notes above a an F (two ledger lines above the bass clef +1 can be played in several positions. The higher you go, the more choices you have for positions.

Me: "I'm pretty good at trombone"
This solo: exists
Me: "I'm not good at trombone"
Fr tho, I'm in 8th grade and can barely play 3 above the staff consistently
@@twoplus6924 You should be by 1 year later, can you now? If not practice some octave jumps and you'll get consistent high A

That tone is out of this world and his rhythm melody so lyrical.
I haven't touched my trombone in a year or two, maybe not since I graduated college. I'm thinking today's the day
Yes! Any day is a good day
Soulful gliss is soulful
amazing solo and awesome transcription!
this is absolutely amazing. around 2:30 is just absolutely nuts I love this man
Whoever put the last part in B Major just hates trombone players.
Marshall Gilkes, the trombonist soloing, wrote this piece. He does in fact hate his fellow trombone players😂😂😂
he doesn't hate them.. he's merely encouraging them to learn all their scales... lol
@@meanathradon Marshall Gilkes is my goddamn hero. I’m just messing around but yeah he’s damn inspirational
Yes, because the Bb above the treble clef and fast runs are easy compared to an uncommon key signature.
@@zackwoods5077 It doesn't help. The other aspects of difficulty you articulated are 100% valid.
Absolutely brilliant! There are no words to describe how amazing this it!
such a great solo.. man.. that boy can play!
As a trombonist listening to this was a 'I should probably just give up' moment
Nah man you gotta turn that into an “I should practice more” moment! That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s going fairly well :)
What a guy playing my highest note like its nothing
Heard that, blows me away how easy it sounds but then you try it and go.....oh....my bad
Great choice of solo to transcribe, and superlative job. Thank you!
Thanks Paul!
This sounds like a more jazzy version of a little big planet soundtrack and I love it!
omg memory lane
I thought that too
just cried my gosh darn eyeballs out
Oh Man!
Bravo!
So good!♥♥♥♥
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I could probably play the majority of this, but a few parts would be really difficult. But Gilke’s accuracy on this is just spot on!!!
Post it!
Parts of this solo reminded me of anxiety part 1.
Nice job
Lied schön
Such a high double high Bb I heard it for the first time It's a god just to make a sound It's not in Japan that you can play ad-lib It's amazing
👏👏👏👏👏
If "Eruption" by Van Halen was a trombone solo

OK, I give up-----gonna put my trombone away for good. And I thought I knew how to play that instrument.
You might as well have just transcribed this to treble lmao
Exactly right, I'm sure the jazz cats would appreciate tenor cleff too ... hahaha
@@lawsonmcguinnessmusic That's what I was thinking (Classical&Jazz cat) lol, this would be a lot easier to read in tenor clef
Probably didn't have 8va in the software... I take this is as a ledger line practice etude!!
This is my preferred way to read it tbh
Tenor clef
Now do it on William bilals solo for black and blues
ima try this on my bassoon
edit, nevermind, i don't know the fingerings to the very high part yet
oh no no no
Know em yet? Come on give it a try!!!
Fingerings?? Actually, the positions are not the problem! For example if you play a D in the 4th position in a lower octave, you can also play it in 4th in the octave above. Also, most of the notes above a an F (two ledger lines above the bass clef +1 can be played in several positions. The higher you go, the more choices you have for positions.
That trombone puts me to shame. I'm hiding my horn in the closet----I'm no longer gonna pretend that I play trombone.
He writes a piece for trumpet, and then plays it on a trombone.
This makes me feel like I’m not good enough. 😞
It reminds me or Urbie Green!
Espetacular!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Somewhere wayyyy in the distance it reminded me of this solo:
th-cam.com/video/Ujr9W_wPFSM/w-d-xo.html
An amazing performace too, by Randy Purcell.
damn bruh
The ledger lines, oh god the ledger lines
Yep ... still better than tenor cleff though hahaha
Could you not just put them with 8va instead? It's really hard working out what notes some of them are😭
@@lawsonmcguinnessmusic there wouldn't be all that many fewer ledger lines in tenor either 😅
IF there was ever a need to write in tenor and alto clef -- this is the reason
Sounds like a SuperBone at times.
His articulation is so clean you’d think he’s playing on valves on that chromatic lick
I need a refund on my purchase I thought that I would get the full solo from the start of the actual song to the end
Sir I think that's an octave too high 😂
no its not lmao
The rhythm is definitely sus in this transcription but it’s really close
God what a fucking legend. My only regret is not listening to Marshall Gilkes sooner
This is not possible.
Way too hard for me! 😱 :(
