THANK YOU JUNE!!! I’m at the point in my music “career” where I don’t play nearly as many gigs as I used to, but I still love to sit down at my baby grand and read through different piano books. Piano was my first instrument but after a few years of lessons, I started playing drums/percussion in my middle school band. Thankfully, I continued to keep my piano reading skills fairly sharp throughout the years. So now, when I see a transcription of a song like Jacob Collier’s version of Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry Bout A Thing”, it means that I can actually play certain parts of it, thanks to you. Just to be able to look at the chord structures that he uses is gonna be like a lesson in itself. I really hope that one day soon, Jacob Collier will be a household name because of his unique way of looking at music. His name and yours are already household names in my household. 😉
Amazing job June Lee...! For most of us, listening to Jacob Collier's music is just an 'experience' to be enjoyed. There are very few people on the planet that can analyse it and understand it like you do.
That last part is really interesting! When you hear it, it sounds like it's still in 4/4, which, of course, it is -- as you even write. But I think the subdivision is something that really only comes out when you notate it, and now that I see it on paper and listen to it again I can hear the 5/8 and 7/8, which I didn't spot before. Great work as always.
I've always heard Section V>end as being 8 bar sections in 4/4 time (which it is), I didn't actually realise he'd grouped it as 5 bars of 5/8 + 1 bar of 7/8. 5 bars of 5/8 gives you 25 eighth notes. Add to that 1 bar of 7/8 and you have 32 eighth notes. If you write rhat as quarter notes you get 16/4. 16/4 is 4 bars so as he does the 5/8 to 7/8 grouping twice, it's 4 bars x 2, which equals 8 bars. Funki boi
June, thank you! I'm sure many of us would love to see a video about how you developed your ear and transcribing ability, and how you go about transcribing a harmonic monster like Jacob Collier. You truly have a gift.
@@dannyvegasman You're welcome haha! It is a brazilian "kinda-percussion" instrument played with a unique technique in which you rub a wet piece of cloth in a stick made of wood located inside the instrument (and I can't think of another instrument in the world that uses a similar friction-based method to produce sounds - maybe the violin family?). To produce different notes (and, depending on your skill, maybe some scales and melodies) you press the top skin of the instrument in which the "stick" is fixed. This instrument is more common to see in traditional and more "folk" samba, but I love when I see it used in a more modern 60s and 70s brazilian jazz-samba-bossa samba-rock variants, and I could immediately recomend for you if you wanna see some great players of this instrument the group Trio Mocotó, a "samba-rock" group from the 70s that played a lot with famous brazilian artists like Jorge Ben and Toquinho (and they also have a great album made with Dizzy Gillespie in which Fritz, the cuíca player, show all his talent - just search "Trio Mocotó Dizzy Gillespie" and you should find it) and also a great cover from Sivuca (another awesome brazilian bossa and "fusion" accordion and guitar player) of "Ain't No Sunshine" which original author I don't remember. I will try to send some examples for you through here, there are some songs in which the cuíca playing is mindblowing...

O Terceiro Mundo I immediately RUclipsd some examples. I’m trying to better understand Latin percussion instruments and techniques and how I would include them in a music score. Wonderful stuff and thanks again.
Amazing transcription. This music deserves an ear as detailed as yours, I hope many great things happen for you. I hope - for your sanity! - you're at least transcribing from stems, if not the original tracking session...surely you're not creating this transcription from a commercial release...are you?
June Lee That's amazing, good for you! It makes total sense that another legendary transcriptionist, Steve Vai, would be all over this. All the best to you. "Subscribed" is a given.
does anyone know what style of music it is at the part starting 2:33? I can only think of brazilian samba/bossa nova but is there a more specific term for it? and if you know any example songs almost identical-sounding to that part please do link i'd like to find more of this kind of music :)
Thank you June!! I'm a piano teacher and i'm intressting in Hallelujah's score by Jacob Collier, Is it possible? my students and I learn and enjoy with this version. Regards from Barcelona ;-)
The voice leading around 2:04 is nuts. So smooth but so weird at the same time.
Didn't expect to see you here
Woah
Sounds a bit like Giant Steps
I thought this was for the new Jacob vid at first and was like, "wtf that fast?"
Michael Yeung same
they should coordinate uploads i guess
Same, and the song titles are similar too
Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough or Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing is a little confusing within 24 hours
Same..
Dang a jacob and a june vid on the same day
Do you live in australia or something?
You are a genius, June. Your work is invaluable
porn can wait
Jacob and June? Porn must be left behind. Too intense.
Eargasm getting the job done.
Porn is piece of nothing (wtf?) compared to this.
lmao
😂😅😂😜
you forgot the "woo!" at 5:27 but i mean i GUESS this is impressive
I thought the same, but then I saw the rehearsal letter U, which in Spanish sounds like...
Agustín Alonso 😂
I don't think I should worry about anything after listening to this.
I consider myself a great transcriber BUT I would've ran away from this one screaming in terror. Amazing job June Lee
Anybody else notice that Jacob Collier is a $3 patron?
LOL! Indeed!
It's for if he needs to perform this as recorded, so he can read from something 🤣🤣
You're amazing

You actually notated breaths as percussion hits. That's very interesting. Looks like a Bobby McFerrin influence on Jacob.
yeah he mentioned in an interview he was super inspired by him
I don't know who is the most insane: June or Jacob...
"June interviewing Jacob" is for sure the most insane thing out there
@@barditheweird I think it is hard to understand such a deep language
Amazing job June Lee...! For most of us, listening to Jacob Collier's music is just an 'experience' to be enjoyed. There are very few people on the planet that can analyse it and understand it like you do.
With June, truly all things are possible
..You are the best transcriber, which makes you a great artist. Thank you for bringing down the work of this musical monster.
That bass line at 2:34!! Damn!
I'm so jealous. I spent hours trying to transcribe this but I couldn't get the chords right. You are a genius man. Keep on going
I think it’s awesome even Jacob himself chips in some cash for June!
Anyone else read the "Don't" and panicked thinking June made a full transcription in 20 hours?
Hahaha lol definitely 😂Got my whole music group hyped for nothing😂
Bar 127 there are 2 claps missing on 2 and 4👍 amazing work though I don't wanna be critical at all just wanna help😍😍
Bar 127.. I saw that to but thought I'd better just tell the dog :) wonderful music, isn't it? An old duffer here from the UK.

It's for the bass line I think but I agree with you.
Romain Choisy yep, the bass line is how he has grouped the bars of ⅝ / ⅞

I’ve been waiting for you to transcribe this song for so long! Thanks a lot June!!
You, sir, are a public hero
It's very beautiful and fun, with forró inflences at the end haha (and maybe samba too?)...
Quem é brasileiro aqui???
Nóis nas frita
@@guerradan Jacob sambando na cara da sociedade kkk
Present day Take 6, but taken to a new level.. Amazing Stuff.
you really are a blessing to this planet. thank you for your service
This is the transcription I've been waiting for since I first heard the song! Awesome work.
June, you're amazing. I don't how you do this but I'm so happy you're Jacob's "curator".
At last! And you killed it! One of the best of Jacob's covers. The piano bassline at the end is so cool.
Been waiting for this transcription forever. Great job
YAY! Now I know the meter (or meters, rather!) of that last section which was bothering me since I couldn't figure it out. Thanks so much!!
5x5+7=32
Brilliant. With headphones on, its freakin trippy. Good work, Mr Collier
June, you're awesome. Thank you much for your service.
Mind frikkin boggling.
the bass line motif makes me want jacob to do thriller
Mind blown.
Geniuses both of you
When Jacob only donates $3 to June...
June: cuica
Me, an intellectual: *MONKEY NOISES*
Been waiting for this for a looong time! Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Why am I so obsessed with this arrangement!?
makes two of us!
Thank you June. Masterful transcription as a usual supplement to genius.
Amazing !
That chord at 2:08 gets me every time
C#Maj7 / B7
I'm damn impressed you managed to notate 5:10, good job dude
Wow awesome guy!
I love how Jacob Collier himself pledged $3 to your Patreon!
awesome work as usual... happy to be one of the "and many more" patrons... lol
3 persons missclicked dislike cause they were shaking of emotion
watching this video has already fulfilled my dream
I could listen to the groove at 5:10 forever.
Didn't knew Jacob Collier could (on top of all he also knows) play even cuíca (the "monkey grunt" sound from 3:10)!! This is a musician, my man...
O Terceiro Mundo thanks. I did wonder what that instrument was and now I know.

You are incredible

Incredible work. Thank you so much!
@5:11 Jacob has been listening to Avishai Cohen
You're totally right, I just realized it sounds like their song 'Chutzpah'
Thank you for this birthday present :)
Wow! This is incredible work!

I didn't know you could even do that lmao
1:55 half sharp?
Wow this one is superb!
Hi June. My chamber group at school would love to sing this song. Is there any way you still have the sheet music or could send it to me? Thank you
WOW!!!
yee i've been waiting for this
Please tell me Stevie has heard this...
This has been a good day for Jacob-ness
kudos
Big win
bravo!
Imagine getting an SATB choir to perform this
does anyone know what style of music it is at the part starting 2:33? I can only think of brazilian samba/bossa nova but is there a more specific term for it? and if you know any example songs almost identical-sounding to that part please do link i'd like to find more of this kind of music :)
Thats a Cuban “tumbado”
FINALLY!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
How
Hello, is it possible to buy the sheet music ? in music xml ? Thank you
it's on the one
i glanced cursorily at the title and got spooked lol
1:50 measure 60 beat 2. This is exactly where you should put the only microtone in the entire piece.
How can we buy this arrangement?
Thank you June!! I'm a piano teacher and i'm intressting in Hallelujah's score by Jacob Collier, Is it possible? my students and I learn and enjoy with this version. Regards from Barcelona ;-)
June, is possible to buy the scores? thank you;-)
does he not already have it?
Hello Highkari! yes i have seen it in youtube, but i'd like the pdf's score to print..
Maybe the last instrumental groove with same phrase is just 4/4 with rhythmic pattern in 5/8?
3:36 is this really an autoharp and not just piano strings?
sounds like a synth to me
Sounds like piano strings to me too.
6:08 The real Steve Vai? xd
Yup, he's a fan!
@Edvin Eldelid how do I find this?!??!?!
