this is the first flute transcription on the channel, figured it should be a good one;)
Much thanx!
The first time I've seen "Kicking air demons" in the musical notation. Hopefully not the last.
At how about a French horn transcription now😈
Finally, I was waiting for that very day. And what's best, it's about Ian Anderson. Thank you!
fuck yeah it's a good one George! Keep up the great work, love your channel
I seem to remember him being asked 'why the flute?' and his answer was something along the lines of 'I can't play guitar like Clapton but Clapton can't play Flute like me'.
God tier answer
In other words, he didn't like how competitive guitar playing is.
Everyone can play guitar like Clapton😂
In other words, find your niche, find something that makes you unique and become the best in it
@@manealvrz I mean you definitely can’t
Blows my mind to think that ian Anderson never once did drugs, and that his flute weirdness is a natural born ability
If you dont do drugs you prob end up with more briancells intact than if you do drugs
He was just naturally mad.
You dont need drugs to achieve the same insights
Why bother? The drugs would overdose on him
@DEMOCRATS STEAL ELECTIONS apparently yes, if you can believe what he says.
I love his little adlibs, it's like the elf inside his mouth that is truly the one playing the flute is trying to escape.
Desperately trying to get help
This is a brilliant description😂
The fact that ians like the only 70s and 80s musician to not do drugs and alcohol surprises me when he does shit like this
why? drugs not make one great
Him & Ted Nugent
You don’t need drug to be creative. When you’re a creative you need the drugs to live in this world
Also Zappa
Dee Snider
I always love the little notes you put in the transcriptions
music transcriptions are always full of notes, I think 'comments' would be a better word bro
e
It was transcribed by someone else. It usually is
* badum tsss *
oink
I love the concept of giving this score to an accomplished flautist who’s never seen this performance and seeing what they do………… I can’t be the only one…
Contemporary flautists absolutely would be all over this
This wasn't just a musical performance, it was a whole dang audiobook.
Bravissima!

Grazie per la correzione 🙏
@@Nick-jn7ec prego
Non ho capito se si identifica così oppure è una svista 💀

Fun fact: Ian Anderson wanted to be the greatest guitarist in the world and practiced really hard to become so. Then one day he saw Eric Clapton and decided to give up and play flute instead. Glad he did!
Funniest is that Clapton doesn't even come near anyone's favorite nowadays... people are either in riffmaster camp or love the ones who could shred. The Cream guy did neither. He had some classic songs grandmas used to dance to but other than that, he's no Satriani nor Iommi.
I've given up on so many things. I'm starting to run out of stuff to be the best at
@@jwbowen Better pick up something quick, because you will never be able to compete with my giving up numbers.
He didn't give up the guitar, though.
I like how "audience loses their sh*t" is in the score, like it's an instruction for the performance and the piece isn't executed properly if it doesn't happen.
If it's in the score, then it's in the score. This piece accounts for 50% of your final grade. I'd say break a leg, but you're going to need them for the flute solo.
@@PBTophie To be completely serious: I think this piece wouldn't be anywhere as good without the audience. So, yes, it's an integral part of the performance.
to be fair, if the audience doesn't lose their shit then the piece probably isn't being executed properly anyway XD
@@renerpho I agree. Jethro Tull definitely made an impact on the music scene of the era with this amazing flautist.
However, if I heard or saw this guy busking this performance on the corner, I'd assume he was either crazy and/or on drugs with the vocal ad libs, barking, growling, slow kicks, poses, etc.. I'd honestly think he had stolen the flute.
I feel like he's a chaotic/good bardic mage trying his damnedest to call forth some spirit to assist in a losing battle.
@@PBTophie "I'd assume he was either crazy and/or on drugs" -- And you may be completely right about that.
Of course Jethro Tull would be responsible for the flute equivalent of the eruption solo, lmao. Magnificent!
beautiful comparison
Oh my god this is the perfect way to put this
That octave transition at 2:13 sounded like something in a binaural beat meditation. Woah.
I liked how he kept teasing the audience with that little phrase from Bach and never resolved it.
or more famously known from naruto :)
I'm sure absolutely everyone in the crowd recognized it from naruto. In 1980. They were way ahead of their times.
@@jaypee144 Ah yes, Naruto, famously more famous than Bach.
I was screaming at him to finish it the whole time
@@ze_rubenator True! 'Naruto' ? I've genuinely never heard of them/him/her/it.
He is literally playing rock flute. Not jazz flute; it's strictly the static-tonal-center, one-scale-fits-all vocab of rock lead guitar, basically borrowed blues language. But on a flute. And I like it. I once went to see them, '77 give or take, I think they were touring Songs From the Wood. He's a real guitar player too, very good sounding player. Everyone in that band knew what they were doing, and it was their thing.
So true. It even has some sort of natural distortion the way how he's breathing into it.
I mean, that's how Metal bass came to be too: Geezer Butler couldn't play proper rock bass so he played it like a guitar. Doubling the riffs instead of playing a bass line. Many others (Steve Harris, Cliff Burton) followed suit. They also used electric guitar effects with bass guitar, like distortion, flanger and wah-wah (NIB solo, Call of Kh%^&*u). Now EVERY Metal band has "wrong" bass playing where it's played like another guitar line. Same here with flute except almost nobody else uses it in rock music.
Must have been quite an experience to see them back in the 70's.
i’m glad someone else sees the essence of guitar in a solo like this one. it’s so rock, it’s so everything you want it to be but delivered in just the right way to raise an eyebrow.

The "pwt" at 1:20 - I felt that
Had me dying
Finally some flute content!! Flute always gets overlooked because it’s seen as a serene purely classical instrument but it’s so much more than that! Flute jazz is a thing and it’s such a good instrument to just go crazy with and this video is proof
Ask Ron Burgundy
Yazz fluuut
O, I'm looking for something fun to play, can you share some ideas?)
If you like flute so much then definitely check out the band Jethro Tull if you're not familiar.
@@ignatiykalakutskiy8992 I’ve been learning Spain by Chick Corea if you haven’t heard of it already. It’s quite a good one and very fun
When Ian was playing around with Bach but not entirely committing to it I felt my face melt lol
He’s straight up his own amp and pedal rack with how many ways he expresses and changes the timbre. So much fun watching it - 10/10 I want him to play my wedding
And to put that into music notation requires technology and a maniac. Same as Tesla and Facebook and...
After my first holy communion, a bunch of different families met up for a party at one of our houses, and he was there. Presumably, _someone_ knew him... I was too young to have a clue who he was.
@@gackmcshite4724 I think you're giving Elon and Zuck too much credit.
As someone who just recently got WAY into Jethro Tull, I'm super happy to see Ian Anderson making an appearance here and totally killing it.
I love that you can hear the voicing while he's playing. You can hear how he's playing and feel what sections are kind of grungy or passionate. That's just how I like my music though. I like to hear the struggle and the effort put into the music.
I am all for creative ways of getting people into Jethro Tull.
Pure insanity.
This man is the most chaotic neutral flute player I've seen
When your your Druid turns Bard but old habits die hard.
@@Elfenastics This rhymes. Stolen
Good ol’ Ian Anderson, lead singer and flutist of Jethro Tull
Best description ever. 🤣
When your Bard is chaotic neutral...
This is a DPS Bard.
Bit @1:15 is adapted Bach. It's from Tocatta and Fugue in D minor. Really great use of it.
Yea, I also recognised Bach, but forgot which piece it's from, thanks
He's also got a famous adaptation of the Bouree in (g minor??) that quickly evolves into a funky trio of flute, bass, and drums. ❤️
The whole thing is actually bach. Anderson did/does these solos regularly as part of the Bourée: ruclips.net/video/2u0XXpVGUwk/видео.html
@@panpolypuff and guitar everyone forget that there's funky guitars in that
@@tobiaspape despite the obvious Bach influence, this specific solo is part of the track My God, from the album Aqualung
Jethro tull being jethro tull
I just realized this is the first time Ian Anderson has been on this channel. He’s so unbelievably unique I can’t believe this is the first time he’s been on this channel. I hope you do a lot more transcriptions of his stuff!!
Ian is criminally underrated
And he doesn't read music! Amazing the music that pours out of him.
@@lorenzogiani7190 YES!! And so is all of Jethro Tull. They should be mentioned alongside Led Zeppelin and Rush and Deep Purple, just like Martin Barre should be mentioned alongside Page, Gilmour and the like, and Barrie Barlow should be appreciated as much as Bonham and Neil Peart. Tull is such a wonderful collection of brilliant musicians.
@@oskarileikos TBH I heard of Jethro Tull much more than Rush, maybe it's just in my part of Europe. Where we have Uriah Heep and Sweet as way more known bands than anything without Ritchie Blackmore.
why do i keep watching this
What in the actual fuck. That's got to be the best flute playing I've ever seen. Holy shit, this guy's talent, dedication, and hours and hours of practice are insane
He is also a great guitar player and singer! Or was at least :p
can’t tell if he flutter tongued or double tongued the semiquavers at 1:27 but either way to get them that clear and separated at that speed is insane
He played with wrong fingerings for most of his career I believe
@@gabrielfaure9091 Yep, he was self taught! His daughter started to learn flute at school and pointed out everything he was doing wrong. He found it odd, a literal pro being taught by a six year old who only had one lesson.
@@cammoblammo kudos to him to have the will and strength to take the flute and relearn it almost from scratch at 45 years old. After that he became much more a "real" flautist and less wild and that's also an interesting side of his musical career. (Intact little after that he composed and instrumental album called Divinities).
I swear this solo was a journey on it's own. It was a story full of twists and turns just like all good solos.
Only real ones remember when this was titled “When you’re a rockstar but you play flute”
Only real ones remember when this was titled “You can’t play flute and SING at the same time!”
I remember both!
Most sane flute player
I would love to see a transcription for Focus - Hocus Pocus next!
Yeah, but the one where they played the whole song in half the time.
@@ArtyomPlatonev The only true one for me
yesss live in 1973 baby
was thinkin the same!
I want to see the semi-tones in the whistling part of the live performance.
as a clarinet player I can guarantee that I would die playing this
Saw him live just a week ago, his flute playing is still just as dirty and crazy as it always used to be. It was a great concert!
Nice that’s awesome
Well I saw him in the city, and on the mountains of the moon.
@@swilson3d "His cross was rather bloody, and he could hardly roll his stone."
Don't know whether Hymn 43 or My God is my favorite...
As someone once said: the flute IS a heavy metal instrument
I'm pretty sure he said that
for people out of the loop, MTV awared Jethro Tull, an experimental prog-rock act, the 'best heavy metal album' award instead of Metallica (right before they sold out) and people were rioting, so Tulls put up posters saying "flute is a heavy, metal instrument" as a bit of self-irony.
I had the great opportunity to see him play live in Porto Recanati, during the 2018 Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary Tour. Ian is just amazing! One of the most talented and virtuous musicians in the world. His improvisations are just something else, and name me somebody who can sing and play flute at the same time.
Lizzo can sing and play the flute at the same time
@@11geosno they're both quite good :)
Rahassan Roland Kirk, Jeremy Steig, and many more ... in fact this technique is also called the "growl" and is nowdays taught to Jazz and classical trained students as an extended play mode.
I got to see him perform at the Greek Theater in Berkeley for the same tour on a half tab of acid. He was absolutely amazing!
@@0miyage oh really thanks! I didn’t know this.
When you have youtube on autoplay in the background, but you know in the first five notes that the flute is being played by Ian Anderson. And that's BEFORE the weird shit starts.
so nice to see Ian on this channel. Saw him literally 40 years after this on a concert and he's still a beast with the flute. Where do they make people like him?
ruclips.net/video/171skzi5BKc/видео.html
Ian is a force of nature.
Why on rusted prison moons the purple piper plays his tunes
Nice! I saw him in Toronto in 2018 I believe! It was a great show

When he said "hein humm heen hum hum" i felt that😢
This performance is inhuman. I was glued to this whole thing as a musician myself and shaking my head in disbelief.
WOW.
Never heard of Jethro Tull eh?
@@sergeant_chris6209 You'd be surprised about how many classical flutists don't know Jethro Tull. (I don't know what kind of music J-Dub does.) ruclips.net/video/gKSrq_qjB_Y/видео.html
Inhuman would mean awful or bestial. Superhuman, perhaps?
@@johnbb99 I bid higher: godlike.
@@Wabbelpaddel Much as I love his music and lyrics, I suspect a slight messianic tendancy already. Don't encourage him! :)
The day Bach realized he was the twelfth incarnation of a flute player from Nairobi. This transcription will never need real if the screams and voices emmited are not in there.
that 2:12 transition to the lower octave was smooth af
this guy made sounds with the flute I didn't know were my favorite until now
All of the people in my middle school band never believed me when I said a flute could be played in jazz.
Bouree on flute. So much flute in prog rock for a time. Traffic, Jethro Tull............
@@tengu190 king crimson
@@leaf4836 Their second album!
Bruh, Jethro Tull were (at least at times) a metal band.
In Ian Anderson's own words: the flute is a heavy, metal instrument.
Really I think they sit somewhere between folk, prog rock and heavy metal (of the type found in the 80s).
They never heard of Ron Burgundy?
A band I wish I could have seen in their prime. I'm 25 and Jethro tull are my favourite band. I was even born in the same town as Ian Anderson was
In a DnD campaign that I'm playing in I'm a Bladesinger (only for elves, gtfo) wizard. Whenever I finish off my opponents I'm whirling and twirling with my sword while that's playing in my head. Best flute solo of all time

I’m glad you made this video, so people can see the craziness of Jethro Tull. 😂😂😂
I learned some flute as a child, and I cannot imagine how he is able to switch between semi-singing and playing so sharp but fluently. This is an amazing way to play the flute and thank you for bringing this to my attention!
He never had any lessons by this point.
Love love love ian anderson!! such a huge inspiration for me as a young flutist. thanks for this transcription ❤️
And that's why Ian is my favourite musician of all time! Sushi restaurant indeed.
2:00 my man here invented Dubstep in 1978. What a Pioneer!
This man tasted sounds and heard colors 😂
As much as I enjoyed music as a kid, I always struggled with my pwts in songs. Glad this guy nailed it.
How did this guy actually make flute sound badass
MY GOD, Jethro Tull is awesome and will always be one of my favourites
Those multphonic screams were very reliable
When you cast "Haste", "Enhance Ability" and "Berserk" on the bard in your party.
what an artist
I was today years old when I found out shredding was possible on a flute
I love how the gestures and voice are transcribed as if that's somehow part of the music itself
The Wagakki band has a CRAZY flute player that can literally shred with the electric guitars. They're the people that performed "Six Trillion Years And A Night" live in japan. Professional flute players are SCARY good when given the chance to be.
Ian Anderson is criminally underrated. insanely talented dude.

I'll be darned ! Masterly transcriptions. Subbed & thumbed.
They made a lot of great albums actually
While I'm not a super hardcore fan of Jethro Tull, I honestly believe Ian Anderson is the best frontman in rock history. Also, transcription-wise, the "lyrics" on this solo are flawless. I mean, "PWT", really? hahahaha, great work, dude.
Jethro Tull is the only band who can pull off something entitled "blistering flute solo".
The notations on the sheet music get me every time
My god how I wish I could play with the ease and creativity of Ian Anderson. What an incredible musician.
Direct from the Medieval time period, one of the greatest musical geniuses of our time as well.

Singing and playing on the flute at the same time is pretty crazy. It almost seems like you'd need double the amount of air (since you're using both nose and mouth to push out the air)!!! Gives me James Morrison vibes, but flute.
It’s actually not hard! If you try to sing and play different things it gets more complicated, but singing the same pitches that you’re playing is fairly straightforward
Actually it doesn't require twice the amount of air. What you need is to make your lips and your throat vibrate at the same time. Though I can pull it off on the trumpet I've never tried it on my flute
@@bardetamelie4660 your lips don’t vibrate when you play the flute tho
@@JimboCKW I was thinking in trumpet logic, my bad
@@bardetamelie4660 Trumpet player here too, and I've had success doing that on trumpet with multiphonic singing. Bus since I've never tried it on flute and I haven't seen it used in such a technically masterful way before, I just thought it was really cool.
