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!
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!!!
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
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.
Great job. I get why some are critical but if you close your eyes and listen, there are moments where dude is absolutely in the pocket funky with it and that cannot be taken away from this young man. Especially the parts where he gets in his bag and adds his personal touch vs replicating the original nuances.
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! 👏🏽
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
Bro! This has to be the best version of this that I have seen other than the original. As a musician myself I have but one note. From an academic standpoint you NAILED this, but there was an emotional component that was diminished by you being so technically accurate in your rendition. Just my opinion, but I will love the recording.
I loved it. I would love to see a collab between you and Will. Instrumentals are not .mainstream as they were in the 80's a d early 90's. You two could bring it back.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!! You sounded amazing! We played a version of this in my jazz band this year and our 1st tenor had the solo and he sounded so good
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👍🏾🙂
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. 😄
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!
Imagine being his neighbor.. hearing all his different attempts. Masterful
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 👍🙈

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
That big melisma you did at 1:42 gave goosebumps. Don’t let anybody tell u don’t play with SOUL ❤️🔥
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
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
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
Yeah he's above the entire treble clef lmao
At 1:33 I love the addition he does he sounds so good
lit
Yes!!!
0:58 that flutter really put a smile on my face 😎
Let’s not forget the lip trill at 1:01
Only person other than william bilal to do it this well. Insane in your own way. Jazzier feel, I like it very much.
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.
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 👍🏾

Awesome video!!!
THAT RIFF AT 1:32 IS " NAAASSSSSSSSSTAYYYYYYY"...... DARE ANYONE TO DISAGREE....... That trombone was literally "SANGIN" 🔥
That scoop at 0:33 is nuts. Well done
There's a weirdly disproportionate amount of veiled and not-so-veiled gatekeeping in this comment section. This cover is obviously super good.
1:33 was literal heaven in my ears😧
This somehow put tears in my eyes
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
Wow, this was amazing. And so different from the others, making it your own. 10/10 will listen to another hundred times.

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! 👏🔥
Closest cover to William Bilal yet. Fantastic!
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
FANTASTIC job! The backing was nice and consistent (I liked the addition of the bass bone) and you made that melody sound easy!
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.
Second comment… I hope you are strong enough to not give the petty, hateful comments any weight whatsoever. You did you here, amazingly.
Guess what. I STILL got goosebumps from your version. I like it! ❤
It's so clean! Well done on the entire arrangement, keep it up.
This sounds absolutely amazing! Please upload this to spotify
He added his on touches on this = DOPE!!! Keep playing that horn young man!!!
Love it!!! SOUL IN HIS BLOOD!!! Go ahead young man!
I love this so much, especially the addition of the lip trills in there a few times
Amazing! I love it! Your tone and style are everything I love about trombone!!
Simply amazing! Probably not too many trombone players could pull this off 👏
Great job. I get why some are critical but if you close your eyes and listen, there are moments where dude is absolutely in the pocket funky with it and that cannot be taken away from this young man. Especially the parts where he gets in his bag and adds his personal touch vs replicating the original nuances.
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! 👏🏽
This was great work. But we all know William Bilal is the goat of this song. And he gave him credit too. Great job 👏🏾
One man crushed this entire piece. The edit and he’s own flare. Jfc. Keep it up brother
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
You are gifted bro. I was looking for something like this so I can play on loop.
Unbelievable man, I got goosebumps all over
Damn....really nice cover from Bilal. Excellent and precise voicing.
Brought a tear to my eye
Most beautiful sounding piece of music I'll ever heard in my life.
I just came here after watching Wil and I have to say you did your thing bruv! Big ups!
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.
ruclips.net/video/baVwP7Vx394/видео.html
@wonderloaf no fucking shit Sherlock, now tell us where they hid the body.
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
This was beautiful, clean, and soulful! 👌🏾♥️
I love the flair you gave it! Sounding good
Closest I've heard ro William tbh!
Absolutely fantastic. A good trombone player, and brass in general, is really what sets bands apart
Bro! This has to be the best version of this that I have seen other than the original. As a musician myself I have but one note. From an academic standpoint you NAILED this, but there was an emotional component that was diminished by you being so technically accurate in your rendition.

Nice cover. Guy got some soul
The recording was incredible and so was the video editing. Absolutely amazing bro
1:29 I like your take at this part. Damn good lip trill too! Keep it up bro!
Just got a new subscriber brother from new Zealand. This is beautiful.
Fantastic cover, actual. Well done.
sound so clean you could see your reflection in it
Not gonna lie, some of your other videos popped up in my feed and I was like alright, but then I saw this, “WOW!”
I loved it. I would love to see a collab between you and Will. Instrumentals are not .mainstream as they were in the 80's a d early 90's. You two could bring it back.
you better play boi! This man has studied Will and put the time into it🎉
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!! You sounded amazing! We played a version of this in my jazz band this year and our 1st tenor had the solo and he sounded so good
WOW!!! Damn, Dude! Talent has to be shown off, not simply displayed. Wonderful job, Bro!
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.
Solo para comentarte, casi todos los días escucho tu versió !!!
Muchas gracias 🎉
Dude killed it, but it is so interesting to see this next to William Bilal. That dude really does show you what soul in music is
That is some godly trombone playing
Thank God there’s a clean version. Awesome
Always love videos of one musician playing all the parts in one song😊

Super damn impressive. You went for it, man.
Very cool my guy. You really made thos song your own !

You dug in on this one man. It shows. Great work!
YOU DID DAT MY BOI!!! Let it sing!
Bro fantastic!!
Beautiful. Absolutely Beautiful. Great attacks and articulation in the high and low range. Stupendous tone and style. Good job!
Only cover to give will his justice. Thank you
wow this is insane i love this
I like how he put his own spin on it. He keep doing it
I pressed subscribe soon as I heard the part at 1:33 that was insane
boi u played that hbcu classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
its art bro. so beautiful song
bro you smack it! Soo skillful
Wonderful job!!
Nice job! You really caught a bit of William's soul!
Play that funky music WB! 👏👏👏
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!
Trombonist here. I admire to be able to play half as high as you.
Damn, This sounds so good! Nice to credit William Bilal too!
👏🏾 Yessir!! You did a great job. Like others, I've been looking for someone else who could do it any justice, and a clean version at that.
I thought I recognized you! Didn’t know you played trombone man! Did a few drone races with you from Sandusky!
Really good. Just give me some soul with it.
He did a very job covering this song.❤
Excellent job. Well done.
Amazing play
I love it! this is niceeee
Beautiful give respect where it’s due I’m sure wil proud to be an inspiration
Nah bro this is mental. Keep it up
