My rendition of 'Holocene' by Bon Iver. Just having some fun messing with a cool new tuning and vocal vibe. Hope you guys enjoy!! Such a sick tuning!! Creatively addicting.
Quick Guitar Tutorial if those of you would like to know how to pull off this sound.
Tuning is standard (capoed).
You have to re-string two of the strings, the D and G strings have to have lighter strings, I would suggest a B and high E from another set or you can buy single strings, totally up to you. Then take those B and E strings and place them where the D and G strings are supposed to go, but you're then able to tune them up a whole octave getting the effect of the higher coupled strings from a 12 string guitar.

I listen to a lot of live music.. from coffee shops, to bars, to large venues. You have a f*cking fantastic and extremely unique voice that you seem to control effortlessly. Don't be afraid to go for a band as their lead singer. I hope you make it big!! I look forward to hearing/watching more from you.

[@Cloud-Yo]

3 notes into the vocals and Im hitting "like" with complete and unequivocal conviction. Amazing.

[@lethielliplein2085]

You have a big fan in Brazil. Is simple amzing. I love his voice. Congratulations.

[@lethielliplein2085]

Thank you for your attention! Success forever! kisses

[@StephenAubreyMusic]

Holy crap dude your voice is crazy. You gotta let the world hear that. You seriously have that UNIQUE sound that the record companies are looking for

[@StephenAubreyMusic]

Oh you were on “the voice”! That makes sense

[@CJ-id7qy]

I specifically went looking for a cover of this song that was done in full voice (as opposed to all falsetto). This was exactly what I was hoping to find. Thank you for posting.

[@jsladeb]

This is my favorite cover of Holocene I've heard yet - such a contrast from the original vocal style, but in a good way! It's a cover, after all! Really great voice and guitar tone.

[@patrickmilligan4479]

The man is insanely talented. Truly awesome

[@OldLadyAngler]

wow.... the vocal!!!!

[@lordofthefly]

I love this song. Great job. I have seen a lot of the voice and I think you are, by far, the best artist that has competed in it.

[@larksong77]

Will, even after the voice, you remain the same. In touch with your fans, coming on this forum, answering people's comments... You are something else, boy! What you created during the show, the togetherness with your fans, the frenzy of voting during that time, how we all came together, you getting involved every step of the way in the process, keeping so close to us...your heart is good! Your heart is good! Your voice heals me. Say helo to Galagher.

[@cynthiashockley3769]

To whomever is responding, know this, Will is a fantastic musician. I love him. We live in a world of deception. Many successes wished. You are so worthy.

[@tano7173]

desde hace 8 años que escucho esta perfecta version. gracias!

[@SamuelEHurtadoR]

Men! Make an album! So many time waiting for it

[@charlottegoode1272]

OMG your voice its just so amazing, I can't stop listening! Why are you not super famous yet? You will go far!!

[@missannmcd]

Never forgot you from The Voice. Hope all is well and keep singing. You have "IT". You sound amazing on this one!

[@emmachappell6093]

Dude, I have been trying to find a decent cover of this song, because who can come close to bon iver, but you fucking killed it. Went over and beyond what was expected, keep going with this

[@rosesinsterling]

OH MY GOODNESS. This was BEAUTIFUL! You are and ever will be my favorite Voice contestant ever (I've watched all seasons). Love you and keep up the good work! Post more videos! 😊

[@angelalv7496]

[@conviii2280]

Your music inspires me every day. It gets me through tough times and I want to thank you for that. Keep working hard.

[@haretyper4954]

I come back and listen to this ALL the time. 💛

[@cam8563]

By far the best rendition of a Bon Iver song I have EVER heard, absolutely incredible. You sir are something special..

[@evangelionl0vr857]

This sounds like Hosier doing a cover of Bon Iver. Amazing.

[@grapeskystudios]

Still one of my favorite voices. To me you are THE voice! Love when you do these intense beautiful songs with haunting melodies. Wish I could buy it. Blessings to you and your family this holiday season.

[@laurialvarado5580]

Absolutely beautiful...thank you for sharing it with us Will :)

[@epreza50]

Wow, killed it. Very nice tone and control.

[@MarkBeMusic]

Best cover I've seen. It's a shame it only has 12,000 views.

[@KittyDZ]

So beautiful

[@elpee519]

I am going through a difficult time right now and this not only inspires me musically, but also gives me hope for better days ahead. Thanks for sharing Will, I listen to this everyday.

[@GavinCasterMusic]

Absolutely beautiful, Will. Your voice blows me away. Peace

[@pau4385]

[@independentzi17]

Great man... I've just seen this marvel ❤

[@fabriciomalaquiaslopes4189]

Unique voice Will! Keep posting!

[@fabriciomalaquiaslopes4189]

Ok Will! I'll be waiting for more! I talk a lot about you with my family and friends here in Brazil, specially those who play and sing like me (even just being a hobby). Everyone is fascinated with your multiple tallents... playing and singing!

[@michaelmax6265]

Your voice is extraordinary!!! Plz keep going! Never heard sth like this before😇😇😇👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@mjdolorico]

I had to do a double take when I saw this. Thank you so much for posting a new cover for us Will! Off to make an mp3 of it!

[@lonewolf8905]

Been listening to this video all day long, but just noticed the star wars themed message he gave... Ur a genius man!!! Hahaha... Nice one! 😊👍👍👌👌👏👏✌️

[@lonewolf8905]

Awesome! Im a big star wars fan myself. And don't worry, I've been a subscriber of your KZbin channel since I saw and heard your amazing voice at The Voice show. And have been a huge fan and supporter ever since. I think you are one of the best male vocalist around. I hope you continue to make music and KZbin videos. Cause a voice like yours needs to be heard. I greatly admire your passion and creativity for music. I love music myself, but lack the natural talent.. lol. So whenever I see you passionately sing, I can't help but sing along. It serves as an escape on those stressful days where you just need a positive outlet. So thank you!!!

[@blakecalhoun4747]

Awesome like always Will!

[@nereaescuderogonzalez3268]

I love it. Thanks for your voice, Will. In Spain, you have a big fan. Hopefully, I can see you live, someday.

[@luisliv_]

[@movieactor]

[@kashaid]

We'll done, great voice

[@coreybrown4920]

Wow Will this is incredible. It's hard to compete with Justin Vernon, but you've really done this song justice! You were probably my favorite male contestant out of all the seasons of the voice, but I just started listening to your album recently. Its got a great feel, and I think this cover is proof you can go a lot deeper. Keep up the good work!

[@megnorman1152]

I wish one day to be half as talented a musician as you are :)

[@misseasya]
