IMAGINE By JOHN LENNON // Pentatonix Version // Trombone Multitrack Cover

With everything that is going on in the world right now, the John Lennon classic, Imagine, is all over the internet... again! This song is as timeless as it as beautiful. Before I decided to make a trombone arrangement of this song, I listened to it over and over again (as I usually do). The lyrics really stuck with me and made me do a lot of thinking. Again, very appropriate to the times. I envisioned the lyrics every time I played the song. If you are not familiar with the lyrics, I included them below. Even if you are, give them another read through! John Lennon was such an amazing lyricist.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

In 2017, Pentatonix released their own version of Imagine, and it was of course, AMAZING! Our trombone multitrack cover version of Imagine is a transcription of the Pentatonix arrangement. 5 vocal parts = 5 trombone parts. Pentatonix's arrangements translate really well to trombone. It gets a little high at times - but challenge accepted! Another thing I like about Pentatonix’s arrangements is that they feature all 5 vocalists. We included a trombone solo on each one of the 5 parts. Something you don’t see too often in trombone arrangements. Usually only the lead voice is featured, and maybe one more. If you haven’t seen the Pentatonix version, check it out below - it will give you goosebumps! Even though we didn’t have words in ours, I hope we were able to capture some of the magic of this version.

SPECIAL THANKS TO JEFF HARRIGAN FOR RECORDING THIS SONG WITH ME! Jeff and I have been in several productions shows together including: Blast!, Blast the Music of Disney, and One Piece Oto Utage.

Billie Eilish - everything i wanted: Trombone Cover

Check out this trombone cover of Everything I Wanted by Billie Eilish! I have been wanting to do a Billie Eilish cover for a while and here it is! I am OBSESSED with the song Bad Guy, it is so fun to play live! But, so many trombonists have already made videos for Bad Guy so I decided to do Everything I Wanted instead. This tune has such a great melody and I knew it would sound awesome on trombone.

During my time in my hometown of Phoenix, AZ I was able to spend a lot of time reconnecting and making music with so many good friends. I am so happy Jeff Hattasch and Seth Gory agreed to collab with me on this project. Jeff and Seth are two of my best friends from college. We all met freshman year at ASU (Arizona State University) in the trombone studio. Man, have we had some fun times!!! As you can see from the bloopers at the end, we were literally cracking up the whole time! Making a video like this reminds me of why I love music so much. There is NOTHING better than making music with your friends!

We were originally going to film at the beautiful Tempe Beach Park, a place very near and dear to our hearts. Funny enough it was raining that day and decided not to film at the park. It never rains in Arizona!!! So we moved the shoot over to Jeff’s house. The rain eventually cleared up and we were able to get some shots outside! The “rustic cabin” out back made for an unexpectedly great backdrop!

This trombone cover version of Everything I Wanted was written as a trombone duet to feature two different players on the melody (Verse 1 and Verse 2). A couple times in the tune we split into a 4 part harmony for some extra oompf, then at the end, 8 part harmony to go out with a bang! Seth made and mixed the track for this video and I think he did a great job! Having a full track to play along with really makes a difference. This is the first time I have included a custom made track on this channel, it's something I definitely want to do more of in the future. Also, I was so happy to have Jeff share his sweet trombone skills!

I WANT IT THAT WAY - BACKSTREET BOYS: Trombone Multitrack Cover

I arranged I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys for five trombones. If you were a kid in the 90’s - you know this song! The boyband craze of the late 90s - early 2000s was inescapable. In fact, I am patiently waiting for this trend to have a comeback. Any good 2020s boybands out there?! Let me know!

In this trombone version of I Want It That Way, Each trombone part represents one of the vocal parts for each Backstreet Boy. Since the Backstreet Boys are a five member, male singing group, the parts work out really well for the register of the trombone. Even though I am a diehard 'NSYNC fan (12-year-old me would kill me for making this BSB video) I cannot deny the catchiness of this song. It’s no wonder why I like it, it was written by the same people who wrote many ' NSYNC songs - Max Martin and Andreas Carlsson.

Also, this song is a HIT at karaoke! Especially when you have a bunch of people who want to sing. There are 5 different solo parts in this song, which is quite rare to find in a pop tune. I have definitely spent a fare amount of time singing this song. That’s why it is so fun to play on trombone!

Lastly, I really want to know, help me settle this eternal dispute: Are you Team Backstreet Boys or Team ‘NSYNC?
