Bridge Over Troubled Water (Transcription/Reduction) - Jacob Collier (Live)

Jacob Collier, John Legend, and Tori Kelly performing "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Original video: • Jacob Collier, John Le...
The reason I did it with the melody + "reduction" is because the harmonizer wasn't something I felt I could perfectly accurately transcribe, particularly because of all the effects he uses with it that alter the sound so dramatically, and I didn't really think it would be that helpful as a tool because no one else has something that can do that, so I figured I would just be practical and notate the melody as a transcription and then just use chord symbols with the occasional actual notes in the reduction stuff when I found it important. Hopefully this makes sense! Enjoy!

This might be the most impressive musical performance I’ve ever seen

[@refreey]

Unfortunately for me I've never really felt anything special from jacob collier's music, idk why. But this slaps, tickled my brain good.

[@AntonioVelazquez-pc7gs]

Those pst few harmonizer chords hit so good

[@stephenweigel]

Interesting to see the differences to see live vs. studio. Got to see Jacob live in Indianapolis :)

[@HobnobWithBob]

My God. I have no words.

[@olilane8]

John legend has some real pipes huh. Excellent transcription as always

[@lupash]

Incredible transcription work as always. And I need an album Jacob and Tori Kelly piano and vocals only.

[@bekkah5244]

Tori Kelly will go down as one of the GOATs - I’ll be brave and say it!

[@jaykay1053]

This transcription is incredible!!! I followed it straight through, and it’s really impressive. I hope you’re doing well because this is really good. Update: Whoa! You’re so young! All the best to you in your music career. Gonna check out your barbershop vids.

That is incredible

oh my. wow. speechless

[@bradenjohnston9118]

This is awesome!

[@amystraussyoga]

Good idea to reduce the chords - the harmoniser is so dynamic! Is there a reason you notated the melody an octave higher than sung in some places?

[@jasonfieler]

Yeah I used the treble clef with the 8 under it and then notated it an octave up so that it could all be treble clef but not too low for the parts that go way below middle C, hope that makes sense!

[@extr3Y]

I sing in a choir, we use the lowered treble clef all the time. Every tenors' part is notated using it. Using a standard treble would require multiple ledger lines everywhere, the bass clef would be too low and, to my belief, nowadays it is rare for singers to be familiar with the tenor clef, so it's quite a neat solution

[@mcglitter07]

An amazing non-classical music performance, dang. Amazing!

[@hilaassor1474]

Thanks, this is helpful ❤

[@tordana]

We're so back

[@MattLuceen]

😭 bravo.

[@OctoPlaysPiano]

Holy shitttt

[@joeplavin]

I don't know why but big vocal runs like that always turn me off, I wish I liked them as much as everyone else but it just really left a sour taste in my mouth after that. I found the beginning of the performance absolutely phenomenal though

[@tristanros6148]

Blud has a literal bad taste in music😉

[@jindrichrehacek503]

ok, why we should care and why you wrote this comment?
