holy banger, omfg

[@DaBlkOtaku]

Fantastic rendition! It almost makes Viridian Forest less of a daunting challenge and more of a stroll in the park

[@EricLTrombone]

Hard agree! That's one of the things I really enjoyed about the arrangement that was written for Gold/Silver/Crystal - you have a Pokemon game under your belt, so Viridian Forest is far less daunting than might've seemed when playing it for the first time in RBY.

[@sandwich640]

Nice 👍

[@JanneSala]

Viridian forest bossa nova cover buddies! :D love to hear other takes on it. Clean AF solo!

[@theGameBrass]

One of my favourites from GSC, sounds super warm and inviting :)

[@EricLTrombone]

It's such a great take on this tune, and it was super fun to play with this version!

[@evanever]

Really good. The chord progression took me straight to Chirp from Minecraft.

[@HarleyGuioGuitar]

Really slick arrangement, and playing across all instruments!

[@EricLTrombone]

Many thanks! Always fun to put these bad boys together.

[@StevenHigbee]

Love this rendition of Viridian Forest, it's stuck in my head right now

[@EricLTrombone]

Ayy love to hear is Steven, thanks!

[@NilsTFK]

absolutely love it :) found you with your 'my castle town' cover cheers!

[@Sean081799]

Love the chill bossa vibes! That solo was super clean too!

[@EricLTrombone]

Thanks a ton Sean! I really had a lot of fun playing on this one.

[@masonlarson3562]

This is such a simple melody originally. You did a great job complicating it, and soloing over it, that’s tough! Also you sound awesome as usual. Keep it up!

[@master_bulbasaur]

Wowowow, this is one of my favorite tracks in all of pokemon, but it sounds extra great with bones 😎

[@EricLTrombone]

Hard agree!! Thanks for giving this a listen, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@BBPro-df8ok]

This is absolutely beautiful. I really respect this content you deserve more subs

[@EricLTrombone]

Thanks so much! Working on it - slowly but surely :D

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

Have you seen 8 Bit Music Theory's video on the music from GSC? He does a great job exploring why Viridian Forest (and several other tracks) from the Kanto side are so different, and does a great job on it! Following up on that, you really enhanced the whole "victory lap" sense that GSC Viridian Forest has, especially since it leans into your strength being the trombone, which (at least in my mind) carries a sense of tested and verified power. Thanks for the amazing cover!

[@EricLTrombone]

It's been a little while, but I have seen that video! 8-Bit's videos are awesome, love that dude. So happy to hear you enjoyed my take on this tune, thank you for taking the time to give it a listen!

[@Andrew-hv3qq]

Insane job. I love it! Can't believe I've never been recommended your channel before!

[@EricLTrombone]

Welcome to the party! Hope you enjoy your stay :)

[@brandonskelton]

Wow, so cool man. I love what you did with this cover, it's playful and jazzy and I could listen to this over and over!! It's relaxing as! :)

[@EricLTrombone]

The original is so playful, that was such a sweet spot to tap into in working on this one!

@@EricLTrombone You're welcome :D It's great than you had a lot of fun making it!!

[@nintendocovers242]

Damn that solo was good. I’m currently learning improvisation any tips?

[@EricLTrombone]

Thank you! As far as getting started improvising, I'd recommend learning some of your favorite melodies by ear in all 12 keys (I started with Mary Had a Little Lamb, later graduated to a bunch of my favorite video game music). This helps train your ear to learn how to hear melodies, and trains your technique to be able to play in some keys you might not be as familiar with. From there, listen a TON to your favorite jazz musicians. Listen for their sound, tone, lines, phrasing, and try to pick up on those things - eventually start to transcribe your favorite solos and even learn parts of those in all 12 keys. If you have more detailed questions feel free to email or DM me - my degree was in Jazz Performance and I'm always happy to talk shop on that front!

[@nintendocovers242]

@@EricLTrombone tsm, I’ve already started to listen to a ton of jazz and I started transcribing, so glad I have a head start
