Imagine being his neighbor.. hearing all his different attempts. Masterful

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!

[willfeen]

That big melisma you did at 1:42 gave goosebumps. Don’t let anybody tell u don’t play with SOUL ❤️‍🔥

[bladen]

got DAMN... ive been looking for like half a year for someone, literally anyone who had actual soul in a cover. fucking hell man.

[servania]

Finally someone who 1. Credits Will 2. Plays it with the stylistic inflection it's intended to have. Great job man!

[exodia_]

Its just so amazing when you read the sheet and realize how high the notes are..

[giannischieffler]

At 1:33 I love the addition he does he sounds so good

[ThatWeirdoRightThere]

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

[leoslayz]

0:58 that flutter really put a smile on my face 😎

[HouseOfHypocrites]

It’s difficult to play but William Bilal played like he was releasing some built up energy the soul was there with will

[knowlesyt]

Only person other than william bilal to do it this well. Insane in your own way. Jazzier feel, I like it very much.

[NFace]

There's a weirdly disproportionate amount of veiled and not-so-veiled gatekeeping in this comment section. This cover is obviously super good.

[Princofaiiyanz]

Awesome job man!! Ive listened to williams version hundreds of times. This comes close, finally someone with some SOUL!!!!

[carlosdeleon]

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!!!

[Unknown]

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

[patrickrose]

THAT RIFF AT 1:32 IS " DARE ANYONE TO That trombone was literally "SANGIN" 🔥

[Dynamicawareness]

It’s cool, but there’s a deeper rhythm that pulls your soul when William plays.

[nnao]

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

[marine]

Wow, this was amazing. And so different from the others, making it your own. 10/10 will listen to another hundred times.

Second comment… I hope you are strong enough to not give the petty, hateful comments any weight whatsoever. You did you here, amazingly.
