it's THE GUY
Ur INCREDIBLE !!!!!!
I thought you were the drummer Tony Williams lol
Are you a wizard?
@@chameleonedm Definitely :)
_hug friend_ should be included in more sheet music.

This! ♥️
@@Ingestedbanjo this guy knows how to have fun!
With the fermata

Piano teacher: "You need good posture to play piano"
Jacob collier
When you’re learning, it’s beneficial to have a good posture, especially in a classical concert setting. Though once, you get up to “a high level” it becomes a personal style.
Glenn Gould has entered the chat
My piano teacher would wisely say "you're not jacob collier"
tell it to keith jarrett as well!
jacob collier: "MY PRECIOUS"
whoever transcribed this deserves a raise... surreal
That would be the channel you're watching this on lol
@@supernoodles908 no it wasn't, look at the pinned comment
Or a knighthood
On some website you can pay to send a clip and they transcribe it for you. Idk how that is done thk
RIGHT??? it is sooooo detailed
This dude forced his audience into a different key. That's absolutely absurd. I love it.

You'd think we'd get tired of Jacob Collier pulling out all the stops for every single performance, but we don't. We really don't.
He really needs to relax hahah
Somehow despite all the experimenting, Jacob is still musical and approachable.Others can be avant garde for avant garde's sake and tedious.
never
i'm having an aneurysm looking at the transcription with all those accidentals, key changes, time signatures (5/4 wtf), etc. such a unique and beautiful piece that appears to be total chaos on paper but sounds so beautiful when played by him.
I would still rip my hair out if i was ever handed this on a sheet of paper tho.
@Ryandal Gilmore it is, but you don't need to be a dick about it.
Let's just enjoy this music :)
5/4 is fun, but i think the nastiest I've had to play in would be 15/16 or 11/4, or maybe one of the pieces I've done in free time (does that count?)
5/4 is fine but I lost braincells looking at the E flat key with all those sharps on almost every note. As a tuba player, this is highly sacrilegious. You *do not* put a bunch of accidental sharps like that when there are flats on the left. Don't write a D# when the base key of the song is Eb and of course already contains an Eb.
In E flat, there is no G#. There is Ab already in the key....
I once played a song that was in 7/8 some bars then it'd switch to 5/8 all whilst being at 120bpm made intirely of semi and demi quavers, it was quite hard for a baritone sax player
@@aaron_r6611 i had to do that shit for choir too. it’s gruesome.
Audience clearly full of musicians - when changing up a chord becomes comedy....
I don’t get the joke can someone explain it?
@@aodmk Basically just
It's a combination of "who does that wtf" + "nughh i luv it"
That's what I was thinking lol, the concert felt a lot more free form and personal than a lot of others I've seen
@@aodmk just musician circlejerking
It's great
@@TAP7a i feel ive been left out of all this. im muso, but i cant always hear these chord changes
5:33 I love how the lyrics is so precise that when Daniel's singing "You know that I see it", George's singing "Fuay-yu-ay - see it" LMAO
Hahaha! I noticed that too! I love it when Jacob makes mistakes. The way he just shrugs if off, laughs, and keeps moving forward is so inspiring and a great reminder to not take things so seriously.
i looked for this comment. LMAO
who's george
another reminder that while us Jacob Collier fans can sometimes borderline on worship, Jacob is still a human and can make mistakes. He’s still insanely good tho.
George?
i’ve never heard a crowd actually sing together so well
You should watch the Green Day crowd sing Bohemian Rhapsody. Chills!
His supporters are typically musicians
The juxtaposition of the "Give it up for this guy!" and the sheer clusterfuck of accidentals and accents is amazing at 6:51
Accidentals are 'purposefuls' when it comes to Jacob.
So many sus chords 😍
@@anonymousaccordionist3326:
Brilliant.
that walking bass and also the stupid right hands is really satisfying
Blown away by your transcribing skills as well as the performance
Edit: I have been informed that actually Anthony Williams transcribed this. Should have read the description first.
So this comment is directed to him now i guess.
Fantastic engraving, agreed!
Tony Williams did this! tonywilliamspiano@gmail.com
@@GeorgeCollier Thanks for that info, i edited my comment! I've still been blown away several times by your actual transcriptions tho;)
I'm blown away with how well he can play, I imagine it's nearly all improvised, even if not it's still incredible. I wish my brain could work so fluently to do such a good job like that.
Hi there! I left a comment on your most recent video. I'm wondering where you are nowadays (geographically, musically speaking) and what you're doing. I'm a musician who's passionate about composition and lives near Seattle. Are you interesting in collaborating?
It's improvised i think, it would be way harder if not.
@@standporter sounds interesting
@@2steve276 Do you wanna collaborate on anything?
10s of thousands of hours of hard work and practice- this are the results…
5:59 "a bit flat, but in a good way"
*fair enough*
he actually sounds sharp instead of flat there
@@TornaitSuperBirdyup I think he transcribed it a step higher than what I interpreted he sang, which was sharp
This transcription is actuslly so impressive wtf
I would bet that the majority of Jacob’s concert-attendees are musicians. That’s not to say that he doesn’t have mass appeal but being on another level with his understanding of music and his talent makes him that much more special to those who are musicians.
The first half was definitely a whole conversation/comedy show/Ted talk with the audience that was far too musically advanced for me to understand
Edit: Just thought I'd clarify I do know/understand a bit about music and even write songs from time to time that sound decent if you squint your ears, I just don't know jack about music theory lol.
it's not really that musically complicated, really the comedy is just in that the chords he plays are not really the chords you would expect in a progression
"Amen" 😅
Just know that I've been crying for over 10 minutes now JUST from the damn piano chords! I left the vid to watch something else, and came back to cry harder. I don't even know how I've cried this long. I've cried for at most 3 minutes for a song.
@@kirwitch8236 Remember, music is a language that not everyone understands. Just like Chinese, English, heck even math!
'Sound decent if you squint your ears' is the funniest thing I've ever heard
Jacob makes playing a piano sound like falling down a flight of stairs in a tumble of limbs with exquisite panache.
pedant
@@ijemand5672 Now far be it from me to actually be pedantic, but I really fail to see how what I said could be construed in any way to fit that word.
@@Arrzarrina then go see a doctor
@@ijemand5672 Definition of pedant:
1a: one who is unimaginative or who unduly emphasizes minutiae in the presentation or use of knowledge
b: one who makes a show of knowledge
c: a formalist or precisionist in teaching
Yes, I'm being pedantic here, but you are provably wrong.
Feel free to stir up shit somewhere else though.
@@Arrzarrina probably*
6:48 i love how the "give it up for this guy" is also transcribed with pitch and rhythm
5:33 “Fuay-yu-ay see it, I know you're a star” 😂
It seems like he realized that he mixed up the lyrics a bit, but he was too late since he already started singing the wrong line, though he says the correct last word and a half (the "-ee it"). It should have been, "You know that I see it," but it sounded like he was instead saying, "Where you go I'll follow," which comes a few seconds later, lol. Doesn't really change the magic of their performance though.
@@jonaskatona7136 Well yes, but I thought it was funny to see the mistake accurately transcribed.
I notate what I hear 🤷🏼♂️
@@tonywilliamspiano lmao gg
Oh boy, not knowing what everbody is laughing at is just another feeling
Someone pls explain to us 😪
It seemed like when the audience went an extra step in adding a flourish that Daniel had added during one of the choruses...some of the audience was nervously surprised. If we're talking about the same laugh that is.
Chord change
most of it is dissonant jazz runs. Musicians love it when performers do some jaaazyyyy disonant runs to add some flair
Jacob is just superb. King of harmony.
Those three chords at 1:20 man! Damn! I rewound just that part like 30 times! You know when there's just one sound that hits you right in your soul? That funk right there shook me to my core! I felt that sound resonate in my bones man! That emotion was so intent
It's a common gospel chord progression!
@@GeorgeCollier If you listen closely, someone shouted amen at that part too, that's why everyone laughed! XD
You just transcribed feelings into words. Exquisite way of voicing your emotions! Respect!
@@umbra1212 thank-you!
@@MultiKombo Jesus Christ… I love how I’m here with my basic ass knowledge of music even after playing violin and guitar for a while and there’s really just people out there that recognize the chords in a song this well, or recognize a common progression, that type of thing. That’s insane to me…
When he said "Fuay-yu-ay" I really felt that XD Beautiful performance!
That’s a pretty amazing audience of singers. Fairly tight and in tune!
It's not a challenging melody lol
@@georgemcauley9819 They sing more or less in tune and on time. That was my main point.
Right? They might as well be a audience choir lol
George McAuley you underestimate how bad most concert crowds are at singing in key
Most people who listen to Jacob are musicians
5:57 ''a bit flat, but in a good way'' When I first watched the original video on youtube i thought the exact same thing. That particular flatness gave an amazing colour to that phrase especially when followed by A7! I totally love it and am glad that you appreciate it too!
'a bit flat, but in a good way'' AKA the Frank Ocean?
I'll never forget being in the crowd for this!
A memory to cherish forever! I'm seeing him in June and I cannot wait!!!
@@Blobbyo25 HOW WAS IT😂😂
@@pamelaevangelista434 It was epic!!! Such a surreal experience, every song was amazing, and I'll never forget the crowd interactions
I really don’t understand Jacob or this channel, I have no idea what it is about it is something so off but amazing at the same time. I’m just enjoying this.
lmao same i literally dont have a clue if its good or bad but based on the comment section and the crowd i just assume hes a god tier musician
How did you get here
@@ojtiv lol do you actually not enjoy this music at all or understand why people enjoy it? Im curios, does this sound abstract or avant-garde to you? Or am I misunderstanding your comment. Pls dont interpret this as like "lol u dint understand this music? Peasant.." I'm genuinely curious if this sounds bad to non-(musicians; OR music theory enthusiasts) or something
@@arnar9478 i think if i realised how difficult this actually was and i was musicaly gifted i would really enjoy his work but to me he sounds like hes just kidna playing random notes just on the fact he goes from really low notes to really weird high notes and it just kinda looks like a mess to me but i do see why peopple would love it im just not good enough at piano to understand it, maybe in 5 years of expeirence i will come back to this and realise how amazing he is
@@FDE-fw1hd the algorithm works in mysterious ways
This performance actually brings me so much joy
I like how they're all laughing in the beginning like jacob collier is doing a stand up and telling a lot of so funny jokes even though he's just and only playing a piano. there's a different humour for all of those who are musicians: a humour that transcends language and can be understood only by music frequencies produced by a piano
one of the best live performances of all time no cap
Excuse my baby boomer ignorance, but what does the phrase "no cap" mean in this peculiar context?
Thanks,
Yours Truly
-Sir Michael III
@@Mster_Jidk if this is a joke lmao but no cap means im not lying
8:10 THIS. Daniel’s voice just tugs on the good ol’ heartstrings.
If the harmony and rhythm didn't get the message across, the clapping on 2nd and 4th beat instead of 1st and 3rd did. That's a crowd of musicians.
If i may ask why would clapping on the second and fourth mean that are musicians? Is it better to clap that way?
@@timmysun1234 A clap has similar acoustic characteristics to a snare drum, and in a straight beat the snare falls on beats 2 and 4, so it is more appropriate to clap on beats 2 and 4, as opposed to 1 and 3 which are for the kick drum. Think of a choir; they stamp their feet on beats 1 and 3, and clap on 2 and 4, which makes a basic drum sound.
The average person prefers to clap on 1 and 3 because it's easier to follow, but musicians are capable to follow 2 and 4, which also sounds better.
@@HarmonicaMustang oh wow that's cool thanks!
I love how the crowd is laughing at how talented this man is
This man is so talented it makes me want to cry. Just the way that he sees harmonies is just ugh
can we just take a sec to appreciate the way daniel sings? he just is so good. also i think he’s just the sweetest thing ever
I swear, Jacob Collier's feel gets me moving more then any other musician, or just any other music in general. This video absolutely made my day and reminded me everything I love about music. Thank you
this video is the reason i got into JC and everything else that came with it….. thank you for this
But he just uploaded this. You've already listened to all JC's works?
@@noahmay7708 they meant the original video
@@noahmay7708 oh, I mean the original video without the score, my bad
the whole thing is just so intimate and beautiful. *cries in peace*
Unbelievable! It scared me to think how long it took you to transcribe all this song haha you're awesome 🎶
If you want to se a monster transcriber, check this out ruclips.net/video/v0bqSJXhAAE/видео.html Holly shit!
Holy shit, the crowd singing harmony at the end was incredible!
When I first heard of Jacob I kept wondering what all the hype was. But after listening to an interview he did on NPR I was blown away. He takes having perfect pitch to a whole new level
3:44 george collier literally write "thank you" like he say it in the tone, it's simply, beautiful
That hug at the end, lovely. What more does one need.
that note at 3:42 is SO PERFECT
The sheet music makes it so much cooler to watch
"A bit flat but in a good way" is prime transcribing
The level of your transcriptions is always INSANE, I love it.
You all should notice what a mastery of music this shows. He can give the audience different emotions with his playing. Its almost as if he is speaking through the piano.
Amen 1:28 guy knows what's up Sundays in black churches
Jacob's crowds are always so awesome... They just... get it
Lol!
I have never wanted something on Spotify so bad😭😭😭✨
"amen" is definitely the right thing to say. shoutouts to the guy in the audience who said it.
ARE WE GONNA IGNORE THE FACT THIS IS EXACTLY SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN A MOVIE?????
which movie ? 'o'
I love the notation for "Give it up for this guy".
Absolutely outstanding improv-performance!!
this is extraordinaire talent, practice and knowledge!
might the best living jazz-musicians there are at the moment
Tears came to my eyes it’s so perfect
That was saucy, love it 4:58
Most talented upcoming jazz, funk, blues and R&B artists to come along in our time..
In all seriousness the song itself is a masterpiece. Daniel Caesar is a genius
This is one of the best piece of music you can find on this plateform. Damn.
Random tip: closely watching and listening to songs with scores annotation can help develop a better pitch and overall faster score reading. I personally found this form of exposure more intuitive than traditional practices.
“where you go I’ll fuaiii it?” is sending me to another dimension
1:28 the ‘Amen’ was simply perfect
Omg I didn't know how much my soul needs to attend one of Jacob's concerts.
This is absolutely one of my favorite live😢
The patience it must take to transcribe these. Lord Jesus.
By far the best early Christmas present of 2021
They say jazz is the musician's music--Jacob takes that a whole step further.
Just pure amazing. The talent is something else
king of audience participation in the best way
seeing the crowd actually enjoying the concert and not all recording it on their phones makes me happier than it probably should
"a bit flat, but in a good way" made me smile
Amazing work with the transcription!
the crowd casually doing RUNS IS SOO FUNNY TO ME YALL R SO TALENTED FOR WHYY
The "Fyuay-yu-ay" at 5:30 was a nice touch. Bravo 👏
Omg this is absolutely fantastic. I wasn’t even going to listen to the whole thing but I stayed, completely spell bound. Would have LOVED to hear this live…
Seeing Jacob live is an absolute blast. If you ever have the chance, do it. It's an absolute experience.
I couldn't stay seated or quiet watching this video unfold. Who else started singing? ✋🏾
Never thought my emotions would gone rollercoster. My physiological response activated my parasympathetic nervous system - in short, I got tears and chills that I have never felt for quite few years. Thank you.
With so many legends of old, its so cool to be around to see the new young legends blow up, in 40 years they will be the new legends of old
1:58 that was sooo gorgeous 😧
I don't know what or who this is, but it brought me to tears.
On the verge of tears the whole time, only stopped by bliss
NO WAY YOU DID THAT
pure serotonin in my brain rn
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the pianissimo
YEEEES I've been waiting for this one!
Merry Christmas from Scotland :3
this might be my favorite video of all times on the internet
You’re a legend for making this. Thank you so much
Everyone freaked out when the second dude walked out. And I’m sitting here with no clue who he or the piano player are.
Lol; this is one of Jacob Collier’s concerts (the piano player) and this song is by Daniel Caesar (the singer) and H.E.R.; Jacob has collabed with Daniel before but idk if the crowd knew he was going show up that night, hence the cheer.
@@deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee6925 the piano was dope. Really went all out. The vocals were a little weak. Kinda seemed like they were doing it for the first time or nervous. Definitely enjoyed it though.
Beyond what the first response said, Daniel Caesar is also a huge name in R&B (though not yet crossed into the pop space like other R&B singers have), so anyone tuned into that scene would freak out when he walks out unexpectedly.
I like it how you can see how into the music Jacob is by looking at the curvature of his back. It goes from I to ( to C when it comes to delicacy from low to high.
I always come back to this vid, I went on a Jacob Collier binge and found this absolute gem. AWESOME
i loved that “fuai-ii?” part
Thank you so much for transcribing one of my all time favorite performances!!
Jacob Collier made me realize how fun music can be.
Can not stop watching this. I will never get tired of this song it is literally GOLDEN 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Wow… he is really talented and special!
George you must be a genius to transcribe this - Thanks
wow, when i get good and develop better my ears i'm going to make 4 videos for my music:
1- clip video (audiovisual so directors and actors can help me trying to express my feelings, ideas and ideals)
2- lyrics video (beautiful video background with timed lyrics so people can karaoke with the official produced version)
3- the simpler version with one or two instruments and vocals (probably from when I came with the idea)
and here where I got your inspiration:
4- inclusive video (the closest i've ever seen are your videos, with the sheets with details and lyrics... I'm going to put sign language for deaf people and stuff for blind people too, and the arranjments of the music as public domain)
your work is A M A Z I N G ! ! ! ! And these choir with the crowd from scratch is as...
please, keep doing this !!!
Jacob is a gift to the world.
