Gonna Fly Now (Theme From Rocky) | NEW Trumpet Version

[@RonnieRonnie3697]

I thought it was okay but it kinda felt unnecessary

[@AlexHerrero]

Maybe it's just me, but it's the first time in my life that I heard a piece this nice with such a solo completely off key, to my taste. Strange indeed.

[@pollotenders5329]

Yea would of sounded better if it was on key

[@thatairplaneguy]

What’s your range on the trumpet? Louis: Yes.

[@jacksmith3385]

Well he prob can hit a low g# and when he did the incredible theme he hit a double c

[@Trumpophone7]

Jack Smith First of all u can go lower than G# on trumpet with regular notes, second of all below that there are pedal and double pedal notes, third of all when ppl talk about range on trumpet they usually only mean high notes, fourth of all Louis can go much high than double c Sry idk y I felt the need to do that

[@jacksmith3385]

Trevor King sorry I’ve only played trumpet for 2 years I’m a horn player and play trumpet for jazz gigs .

[@diminuendo61]

@@Trumpophone7 Wonder if he can play higher than Michael Englar lmao!

[@AComplexMex]

TW Music maybe, but it’s all about sound quality because if Louis sounds bad in that register then no but if he sounds better than Michael then yes

Wow just as expected. No one talks about the bass player. This bass player is amazing, the tone is amazing. He was completely locked in and has full control of that bass. Sounded amazing.

[@bonerici]

The bass player is so good you don't even notice him

[@Los20163]

3:07 tho 🥲

[@jerryfloofbottom]

the thing is though, at least from what ive noticed, people really only pay attention to the instrument they play in the song, pretty much instictively lol

[@stumaclean111]

I was 14 when Maynard recorded this. I was 24 when I got the opportunity to play with him as lead alto...5 shows in Atlantic City. Miss you my friend!!

[@thomream1888]

As do we all...

[@victorangel1698]

R.I.P to all the people who tried to play those trumpet high notes

[@marianavarekova5014]

Yeah, I am dead😂😭

[@c.9858]

Depending on your trumpet it could be hell the sequel or second nature to play that high, it’s odd how in instruments you get what you pay or exactly

[@ruka-chan4806]

I simply cant play that high 😂 highest i can go is high D above the staff

[@shaneandrews7177]

I can hit a high D above the staff as a freshman in highschool and I'm still working on my range. Only a few months ago was u able to hit the B above the staff. I'm currently trying to learn his solo and if all goes well I will be amazed at myself lol

[@henrygon.z]

@@shaneandrews7177 im a fresh men also i can go up to a b in the stratosphere

[@RockOrgan]

The drummers face on the solo just proves that he worked HARD on that. Thumbs up for me👍

[@ficklegruber6112]

A wasn't a huge fan of the guitar solo at first but the more I listen to it, I like it more and more. The flugel solo is still the highlight of the whole video

[@Pat_S]

It sounded to me like he was playing in the wrong key. It was odd

[@kenbenobi]

Y'all leave that guitar soloist alone. He's in 1955 trying to make sure his parents fall in love and is slowly fading out of existence!

[@craigrryan86]

Brilliant.

[@ashdoesstuff1779]

We’re not ready for the solo yet. I bet our kids are gonna love it

[@MikkoLaulainen]

This is a high IQ joke

[@shaneandrews7177]

Very clever. I like it. Good job McFly

[@Lucas.Blevins]

Okay this is hilarious

[@beboptobi1]

As for the guitar solo which is often critizited here, it's just a matter of taste, like always in music. I'm absolutely certain about the fact that this guy knew what he was doing and played a solo that he liked. By the way i like it too.

[@ChickenTiko]

He knew what he was doing ;)

[@beboptobi1]

Sorry for my english...

[@larrysmith6797]

There's good taste and bad taste. The guitar and synth players have bad taste and whoever signed off on their work has bad taste or could be deaf.

[@Baxocj]

So Louis has bad taste?

[@lawrencelam2000]

At first I hated the guitar solo, but I watched it some more times, and it grew on me! LOL I agree now he knew what he was doing!

[@ajca2056]

Watching guys like Louis and Wayne encouraged me to finally pick up my trumpet again after a 30 year layoff. While i am still no where good enough on "Let it go" yet, i find myself compelled to buy the backing track for this old favorite as well. This song, possibly the most well known favorite of most trumpeters came out while i was in Jr High School. Hell, this song is the World Wide anthem for us trumpet players;)

[@OmicronGaming]

I feel like the problem with the guitar solo was how it was placed in the arrangement, it was right after a shout section and at the beginning of the solo section and came out with a very dissonant substitution that held out for an entire phrase, which sort of ruined the hype from the band section before it. Maybe if it was placed later in the solo section, the dissonance would have been more tasteful, and the substitutions are still cool af, but the rapid tonal transitions created an unsteady flow

[@hyperplayability6290]

lol

[@gregorybabiak5845]

Guitar solo was just; Bad, out of sync, and tone. The rest was pretty sweet.

[@Messi_GQAT]

I see the point, you’re actually right

[@BrunoNeureiter]

I don't think there's a right order for the solos. I think he was trying too hard to play "out" right in the beginning, plus what made him think that bend was a good idea?

[@AdamVonBadamMC]

@@gregorybabiak5845 it wasn't out of sync but yeah i didn't like it either

[@1PITIFULDUDE]

Best cover of Gonna Fly Now ever crafted. Perfection. Louis’ high notes are clear, fat, lyrical and are stately in tone. Nobody goes high more musically than Louis... imo

[@jettmills2331]

2:24 gave me chills! The whole thing was so good

[@PeterGriffin-kb2hf]

It’s taken me actual years to appreciate this guitar solo. This guy honestly does a great job.

[@zINSANlTY]

[@jaycondones7758]

Anyone else notice that Louis double B was so in tune it blended in with the band for a second

[@ianian2425]

JJisthe name that is how it’s supposed to sound

[@sam.83]

its because he wasnt much louder then the band, so it sounded as "one"

[@MYNAME_ABC]

No any double B in that song. Highest is high B! Double B is another ballpark!

[@somebody9033]

@@MYNAME_ABC not right. F# above the staff is "double F#".

[@MYNAME_ABC]

@@somebody9033 It seems, the octaves naming convention is different in every part of the world! Could you just show a musical sheet lines above staff, then mark what notes belong to what "naming octave"? Would be great if we can uniform this globally at one time. What we call C4 in Europe, is called C 7 or "double C" or"double high C" in other parts of the world, and so on... where exactly does one octave mumber end and another begin? I thought it was at every "C", where another octave number begins, right??

[@drasonmeerrkat2617]
