YOOOOO LUCKY CHOPS
Wow!
HOLY CRAP, it's actually you guys! Love your work!
ayo
W Lucky Chops
The people sleeping on this really don't know how hard this chart is. For this guy to play this so well, while also being someone who plays multiple instruments and most likely (sorry if I'm assuming) hasn't been a part of an HBCU style band program, is crazy. Keep it up man!
playing multiple instruments is the only thing I disagree with they definitely know how to play multiple instruments I am a product of HBCU and can play 7 different instruments
@@louisarthur2425 Oh I think I wasn’t clear. My fault! I didn’t mean to say that HBCU programs don’t condone learning multiple instruments. I was just saying that it’s amazing that he DOES play multiple instruments (very well) and that he also is getting a *nearly* authentic HBCU sound while being someone that may not have come from an HBCU program. Sorry for the mix up!
Agree. My son is great & can't quite perfect it yet. So hats off to this kid for completing with finesse, something so complicated!
Tf that shii was trash 🤦🏽♂️
Nice
Finally someone who 1. Credits Will 2. Plays it with the stylistic inflection it's intended to have. Great job man!
Missing some seasoning
@aaasttraaa because he composed the fanfare, its literally his arrangement
@@aaasttraaa , BC his tones and timing is closer to how Will played it then cookie cutter sheet music.
Come on the guy is white, and hes trying to cover one of the most soulful trombone players ever. He done a bloody good job of it @bezcobb
got DAMN... ive been looking for like half a year for someone, literally anyone who had actual soul in a cover. fucking hell man.
This man sold his to the Devil down by the railroad tracks.
some other kid William bilial? i don’t remember the name but played this at a football 100% recommend if you want something with soul👍👍
@@adolforodriguez6084 this is a cover of that cover, he’s talking about someone who put soul into his version
@@holdeenyo8914 ohhh alright makes sense 👍🙈
th-cam.com/video/baVwP7Vx394/w-d-xo.html
Imagine being his neighbor.. hearing all his different attempts. Masterful
Neighbor hearing first 6 tracks: "why does he keep playing that bar over and over"
Neighbor hearing the last one:
It’s cool, but there’s a deeper rhythm that pulls your soul when William plays.
Ur going crazy rn 💀 but facts
@@hbk_ev01ve16 definitely overkill lol
Leave will out of this lol. Don’t smoke his boots. Not bad.
PS: WILL GAVE IT SOUL. HE MADE IT COME ALIVE!!!!
SUPER FACTS
Williams is a GOD
If you're not falling over while you're playing this song you're not doing it right lol. Man put his everything into this absolutely love it
love this lol
Only person other than william bilal to do it this well. Insane in your own way. Jazzier feel, I like it very much.
Awesome job man!! Ive listened to williams version hundreds of times. This comes close, finally someone with some SOUL!!!!
The video of the college students in the bleachers had so much soul
I can't play this well enough yet to do this myself ;(
Hank sound good to
No it don't no soul!
Doesn’t come close but it’s good 👍🏾
It’s difficult to play but William Bilal played like he was releasing some built up energy the soul was there with will
No lie. He literally made that trombone cry.
@@YourWifesRealBoyfriend seriously
I agree, I just wish I could find a version of his that doesn't have the additional sounds like the spectators and stadium speakers.
@@CB-lh8gwthat’s what makes it spectacular, hearing and seeing the crowd reaction is worth the price of admission
Yeah, Will made the trombone cry. Soul snatching. This young man is good and get my props as well.
Its just so amazing when you read the sheet and realize how high the notes are..
Lmaoo Ik that shit go way above the measures
That's pretty common when listening to really good trombonists lol. Especially jazz trombonists. A lot of the time high notes sound high because they're _really fucking hard to play_ and sound a little choked, but years of support and control make it come out clear enough to just not sound as obvious. Bilal pumping out E5s like it was nothing was just completely insane to hear.
Yeah he's above the entire treble clef lmao
At 1:33 I love the addition he does he sounds so good
lit
Yes!!!
That big melisma you did at 1:42 gave goosebumps. Don’t let anybody tell u don’t play with SOUL ❤️🔥
0:58 that flutter really put a smile on my face 😎
Let’s not forget the lip trill at 1:01
THAT RIFF AT 1:32 IS " NAAASSSSSSSSSTAYYYYYYY"...... DARE ANYONE TO DISAGREE....... That trombone was literally "SANGIN" 🔥
Coming from a trombonist, excellent job. Everyone is their own player, their own voice, their own sound, their own soul. There's no replicating, just forming and formatting into their own feeling. Strict, soul, jazz, funk, you name it. No two players are identical
This is probably the closest version I’ve heard to Williams playing!! It’s been 15 years since I touched an instrument and to be honest this video makes me want to pick up the trombone again!!
Awesome video!!!
Wow, this was amazing. And so different from the others, making it your own. 10/10 will listen to another hundred times.
th-cam.com/video/MLIKJUO128Y/w-d-xo.html
Not quite his own but still good
@@zolizze49 I think he just meant it by he varied it more than the others in terms of the glisses and vibrato

Great job but William Bilal in SC kills this song! 👏🔥
1:33 was literal heaven in my ears😧
Nice, not as smooths as Will’s but I like that you made it our own at the end there
I guess I’m here for the same reason! Lmaooo
Buggin
Dawg do you know how hard it is to hit these notes
Ain’t nothing as smooth as wills cause will put that funk in it !!!
You tripping , he killed this!
That scoop at 0:33 is nuts. Well done
I’ve watched Williams version and you by far come the closest to it💙 I felt the soul in this one
Ehh… did he come close tho 🤭
@@quintonjohnson9158 one of the best covers I’ve heard in a while
This somehow put tears in my eyes
FANTASTIC job! The backing was nice and consistent (I liked the addition of the bass bone) and you made that melody sound easy!
I really don’t think you guys should be comparing his version to Will’s.
If you think it’s better that’s great but I’m sure that wasn’t his intention to sound better or as good as Will.
It feels like this dude just rushed the notes to finish the piece. I feel like William Bilal really takes his time and plays it with the his whole heart.
Wow; your videos are enough to make a die hard woodwind player like myself want to learn trombone!
as another woodwind player i can only say i can't respect no one who hates the trombone
Lol! What do you play??
@@ItsMissChas5 Tenor, Bari, first instrument was Clarinet though/
@@freddieboreham3499 DOPE!!! And the Bari has got to be the sexiest horn alive! 🤣🥰 I love the Bari sax!
@@ItsMissChas5 You betya. I was lucky enough to snag a spare from my local music service(wales) right after some guy gave it back after uni
You did great kid!!!! You are your own person. You do not need to sound just like the other kid. Just know you killed it also!!! Color me impressed! 👏🏽
Second comment… I hope you are strong enough to not give the petty, hateful comments any weight whatsoever. You did you here, amazingly.
Amazing! I love it! Your tone and style are everything I love about trombone!!
It's good, very good. But it's very different from the one i seen that kid originally play. I believe it's a culture think, it made the difference you could feel it.
That's because it was from a marching band in a trombone battle across a stadium. It was meant to be overpoweringly loud, and aggressive, while showing a huge amount technical skill which is difficult to do playing that loud. It also helps they had a really big group playing their hearts out. This on the other hand is meant to be clean and precise. It feels more like what a jazz band would play.
I find it funny that the saying "don't encourage the trombones" is very common but these two masterpieces is the result of encouraging the trombones.
His cover is like BB King perfect notes.
William Bilal is like Hendrix he Raged through with the most beautifully master trombone tones ever . So good you can duplicate it twice
There's a weirdly disproportionate amount of veiled and not-so-veiled gatekeeping in this comment section. This cover is obviously super good.
It does not have that bone chilling effect that I received from the school band.
Guess what. I STILL got goosebumps from your version. I like it! ❤
william is what inspired me to officially start trombone by next year! i already play 2 woodwinds, piano, and cello and i needed to find the right brass instrument to pick up. my ultimate goal is to play this solo
Love it!!! SOUL IN HIS BLOOD!!! Go ahead young man!
Always love videos of one musician playing all the parts in one song😊
*Kudos for a very respectable performance here. Keep at it!*
If I can make an observation: the “cleanliness” of the notes’ sounds reminds me of someone who isn’t familiar with country or rap songs who sings the lyrics enunciating the “-ing” at the end of words. There’s a formal vibe to the music. The fluidity of Bilal’s performance is the difference between the talent of getting the notes of this song to the beat, and the magic of giving a trombone a voice.
That being said, great job in both your performance AND pro-level audio/video editing👍🏾🙂
The way you explained this was perfect.... great work...
Sounds like youre playing it just to play it and not for fun and lacking emotion. Its like a fake artificial sound to it
You being compared to the best in the world so thats good alone
I dont feel like you tried to make it your own though will cant be duplicated
Not quite there. Might be the great value seasoning on it
Don’t sleep on him man. He’s doing good, and he played all the parts on his own. “Not quite there” doesn’t make sense when he is a completely different person than William. He has a different soul, and if he practices this a bit more, he can truly put his heart into it.
Great talent. I played trombone for several years. You are definitely in the 99th percentile of trombone players as far as talent. This is an outstanding version and great that you can play all the lines.
how the hell is he hitting trumpet notes on a fkin trombone
Best cover I've seen by FAR of Black & Blues. Amazing
Edit: No shit Will Bilal has the best, I'm considering him the standard and this the best recreation of what he has done
Cap bruh, what the other dude said, will is the shit
@wonderloaf dear god man this right here
@wonderloaf yep. Straight up the best.
th-cam.com/video/baVwP7Vx394/w-d-xo.html
@wonderloaf no fucking shit Sherlock, now tell us where they hid the body.
We LOVE this. I hope you’re not in an apartment though 😂😂😂
Definitely the best 'cover' version I've seen. You do a much better job than anyone else of capturing the raw feel of the original, which is part of what makes it so awesome.
Also, I wish I could play as well as you. Your being able to rip it up on an old Holton Collegiate proves once and for all that my poor playing has nothing to do with my choice of horn. 😄
This is absolutely amazing, I've been tryna find someone who comes close to Williams version to sample and with your permission dude, this is it👍🏾🔥
Thanks! You can sample it if you like. Obviously if you post something using the sample I’d appreciate if you just give credit for me.
It's so clean! Well done on the entire arrangement, keep it up.
Nice but william is a whole vibe that’s hittin you to the core. Beautiful playing though
Unbelievable man, I got goosebumps all over
If only the euphonium could make sounds like this 😥 instrument would be so much more fun
Miles Davis once said, that during the time he was learning to play the trumpet, there was a radio station he would listen to. He said, he always knew if the trumpet player was white because their sound didn't register or light up his soul. My point? the young yt trombone player is very talented/ pls give him some love but the brother played from his Soul which touched my soul. I am a trumpet player.
🤣🤣🤣...if yall can't tell this is a straight fake...look at his neck, he ain't blew that horn one time🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
then who tf played the audio in his video
Alright I'm just gonna say it, I don't care about William Balal. I just wanna hear this, man.
One man crushed this entire piece. The edit and he’s own flare. Jfc. Keep it up brother
boi u played that hbcu classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A little over played but I appreciate the enthusiasm and obvious love of the riff
This was beautiful, clean, and soulful! 👌🏾♥️
you better play boi! This man has studied Will and put the time into it🎉
Closest cover to William Bilal yet. Fantastic!
YOU DID DAT MY BOI!!! Let it sing!
this was really inspiring!
lost a bit of motivation after a recent audition but it was so fun seeing someone play this song with so much passion
I pressed subscribe soon as I heard the part at 1:33 that was insane
Your good , technically good , but will tapped into God mode , soul mode , the only white boys I seen tap into god mode in they crafts is Eminem, Steve Nash & Tom Brady ..,
Much love friends. I wanted to tell you that The Father in Heaven’s Name is not “the LORD” it is YAHUAH (YA-WHO-AH) The Son’s Name is NOT “jesus” it is YAHUSHA (YA-WHO-SHA).
We must repent of our sins (sin is transgression of The Law Of YAHUAH The Father in Heaven. The Law YAHUAH The Father Gave through Moses).
We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On YAHUSHA The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Let’s all run to HIM today while we still can. Much love to you all my friends.
Simply amazing! Probably not too many trombone players could pull this off 👏
Yeah this is my most watched video
Very cool my guy. You really made thos song your own !
This was absolutely beautiful. Saw you on reddit and had to check you out on TH-cam. Keep it up!
I love this so much, especially the addition of the lip trills in there a few times
Closest I've heard ro William tbh!
You can’t learn soul! Soul is something we’re born with as black people. You sound good it just sounds caucaised. PROUD OF MY PEOPLE!!!!! We can’t be copied we can’t be duplicated.
FACTS!
Everyone is born with soul, not just black people. This has nothing to do with race, or anything that is discriminatory (not saying your being that) it’s just that William put more heart into it than this guy. He did really good. He just needs more time to get a feeling with it. No one can be copied no one can be duplicated.
this is awesome just missing grace. seems like played with too much aggression. but still the best besides wil bilal
Wil Bilal Trombone Solo || "Black and Blues" by Al Jarreau || "He Did it Again" || Funk Phi Slide" _ th-cam.com/video/j9xAN6a1HKU/w-d-xo.html
This was great work. But we all know William Bilal is the goat of this song. And he gave him credit too. Great job 👏🏾
Your offering shows you've REALLY studied William Bilal and Benedict College 2021. Please don't take my comments the wrong way when you read my comment, but I hope this helps. It's like a person who knows the words to Psalm 23. They RECITE the words PERFECTLY. A person who has been through life and sometimes has had only God to depend... their inflection and depth of delivery will be different and will make the words PERSONAL, "The Lord is MY shepard,, I shall not want." You know ALL the notes, but we don't hear what they mean to you. That's what makes William Bilal's version so distinctly different...he makes the listener feel what HE feels and it brings many people to tears (me included). Make your music sing your soul sweetie. Go to a quiet place in nature and play where only you and God can hear you. God bless.
This is an awesome cover, but William puts a slightly different rhythm to it that just makes the trombone come to life. A great version nonetheless.
Beautiful give respect where it’s due I’m sure wil proud to be an inspiration
Damn....really nice cover from Bilal. Excellent and precise voicing.
What editor do you use to put your videos together?
I use an app called PicPlayPost to make the split screen stuff and then I edit the various split screen segments together in iMovie. Pretty basic as far as editors go but it gets the job done.
This guy is doing more than 99% of all trombone sections could ever strive to do by himself
Super damn impressive. You went for it, man.
This white dude and William Bilal is like charlie wilson and scotty mcgrewer.. i think mcgrewer is his last name but its two different worlds with the same type of soul.... Point blank they both fucked that shit up and did they thang!!! I like both versions!!! Feeling has no vision no limits no boundaries no nothing! Wether u this color that color rich poor here or there doesn't matter... Its just about who u are and if you true to self!!!.
The crazy thing is that Bilal just ripped it out random at a fucking game lol. Amazing cover and all but the original was just nasty...Like I didn;t have any interest in horn music and it made me look up some obscure shit and chill out with some salad. Cheers my dude.
Absolutely incredible. Saw this video on my recommended and I glad I did. You definitely don't get enough credit for what you're doing here. You sound amazing and keep it up!
Aye he actually did good!!! 👍🏾 NICE 🔥🔥🔥 I am surprised!!
Your playing it, But he was PLAYING IT!!!
lol, your shits hella good to tho. Nice work.
How to use multiple tracks more than likely redid it until he produced the sound that he thought what's better than the black dudes and still sounds corny there's no soul in it at all what made Bilal Williams version so magical what is the fact that even if they did rehearse it the end result was live in front of people instead of trying to outdo black people why don't you find your own style because this literally sounds like a cover of Bilal Williams super duper corny bro some imitation might be flattery but when it has no personal spunk to it it's swagger jacking
You got all the technic in the world just go immerse yourself in THE Culture...
Unless you already are and I'm a asshole for suggesting. ✌
Almost... I appreciate the complexity of the piece... but William! My Gawd!
That’s jazz blues funk.?I’m a former tuba player in marching band. Much clean and proper tone
Play that funky music WB! 👏👏👏
Not quite Will, but you did amazing my man! I know it's easier said than done, but if you tighten up those high notes its over! Keep working
If I can say ANYTHING... Ive played my trumpet for 30 years now. Play less and Feel more.
It’s too manufactured! It’s good tho. It’s like going to New Orleans and eating gumbo at a downtown restaurant. It’s not grandmas. It’s not William Bilal.
im going to teach some seventh graders how to play the background of this.
its going to sound horrible at first,
but it.
will.
work.
Props work on wind and cleaning up the notes that will take you next level and continue to SHOW NO FEAR
amazing performance!!! every time i hear this song I'm reminded of that viral video of a high school student fucking killing this solo so if you havent seen it consider watching it as
well
Outfuckingstanding!!! Thomas “Bones” Malone And he played all the parts to the song….
Nah the dude from Benedict got that from our ancestors baby he play from his soul this ain’t it 🤦🏾♀️
the only critique is he was counting really loud (thinking about timing). need more soul to drop on the ending notes which is very hard trying to keep up with other clips. Applaud
