Sweeeeeeet cover, man! Favorited!

And, I know it's been a while, but I'm still waiting for your full version of "Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight". lol.

[jFORDwardtothefuture]

Do more beach boys please! you guys are awesome!! Keep it up :)

[goodman288334]

I think that Beach Boys songs are great in this format and you do a wonderful job. This is one of my favorites but I like all the work that you have put out. Great Job!!

[loulie1997]

listened to this at least 50 times!

[trudbol]

@loulie1997 Glad you enjoy it! More to come soon... ;-)

[LilyTigerR]

What program do you use to put four videos in one?

[trudbol]

@LilyTigerR Sony Vegas Pro

[TheSethIkrass]

good and proper use of autotune 

[trudbol]

@TheSethIkrass If you say so.

[ianchristie1972]

Love the Montreal Canadiens jersy at the start. Excellent work as usual

[trudbol]

@ianchristie1972 Thanks! Feel free to spread the good humor by sharing my video with friends. ;-)

[DGraups]

Are you Canadian?

[trudbol]

@DGraups No I'm French, I just have a Habs shirt. Go Habs Go!

[catfishpatrol]

U SOUND AMISH!

[trudbol]

@catfishpatrol ?

[csglke123]

legit awesomeness :) ahaha

[trudbol]

@csglke123 Thank you! Show the video to friends, I'd appreciate it. ;-)

[kittiekrispies]

such talent!

[trudbol]

@kittiekrispies Thanks! ;-)

[andrewoaks]

truly, a great range, but I think the tenor was a little loud at some points. maybe it just stuck out to me a lot because I'm not used to hearing you that way! or maybe it's just a little louder reaching that high, I'm not sure. otherwise I really, really loved this. you are very talented.

[trudbol]

@andrewoaks Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Which voice do you call the "tenor"? In this arrangement, the melody line often sings the highest voice, so this is more of a TTBB-type arrangement than a classic barbershop voicing, with lead below the "tenor". Thanks for your feedback and for sharing the video with friends if you liked it! ;-)

[andrewoaks]

@trudbol oh I guess I meant the highest voice. It sounds a lot more natural to me after listening more and more, I just don't think i was used to hearing you sing that high! and I think i speak for everyone in saying thank you for being so responsive and caring to your fans. it means a lot.

[Lil306]

I must watch this video at least once per day. I love the melody and tones to it

[trudbol]

@Lil306 Thanks! Feel free to share the video with friends! ;-)

[Lil306]

@trudbol

I have I spam it on facebook as all your videos :D

[trudbol]

@Lil306 Thanks! ;-)

[Lil306]

It's amazing how relaxing this song is to listen to. You're vocal range is truly great :)

[T3hSill3h]

Trudbol, i listened to only a couple so far, but your range is amazing, thank you for posting these, because it really is truly enjoyable.

[trudbol]

@T3hSill3h Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy you enjoy my work. Happy New (A Cappella) Year! ;-)

[rocksnob14]

Beautiful....my parents used to sing this to me to put me to sleep. You're English is perfect!!

[trudbol]

@rocksnob14 Thanks! I grew up in San Francisco, so there's no magic there. ;-)

[iwreckhavock]

You are so great! My God, please keep the vids coming! (:

[trudbol]

@iwreckhavock Thanks! I've posted at least 60 videos so far, have you checked them all out yet? ;-p

[jd7x7jd]

Damn, this work of art deserves seven billion views. :)

[imreddieru1019]

Outstanding!!!



[trudbol]

@imreddieru1019 Thank you! Do share the video with friends on Facebook! ;-)

[theGLASSEZ]

I can't surf... Can I still be your little "surfer girl?" ;]

[trudbol]

@theGLASSEZ Haha, I'm flattered. Cheers and Happy New Year. ;-)

[2flexit]

Good job, so crisp and clean. Cool tenor by the way. Me and my roommates enjoy the vids, keep them coming.

[trudbol]

@2flexit Thanks! ;-)

[DanEvs2013]

Better than the original, by far. I wonder if it would make a difference if you had a second bass part doing whole notes in the background like 1:20 - 1:48?

Either way, it sounds fantastic! Keep up the great work!

[trudbol]

@DanEvs2013 Thank you very much! Yeah, I tried adding an additional voice in that section, but since I need to have an on screen guy for each voice, it would have made the whole quartet thing more difficult, so I dropped it. But it is missing indeed. ;-)

Please share my video with Facebook friends and tell them about my a cappella YouTube channel, I'd appreciate it! ;-)

[DanEvs2013]

@trudbol Done and done.

[trudbol]

@DanEvs2013 Thanks! Much appreciated. ;-)

[0nyx777]

I love these videos dude. I've got two brothers, both once in a barbershop group and you did both of their jobs and more lol. Much respect

[trudbol]

@0nyx777 Thank you! Feel free to share my videos with friends too! ;-)

[morbels]

I love how that gangsta is sent away at the start :-)

[trudbol]

@morbels ;-)

[JuxtaposeMystery]

[JuxtaposeMystery]

[shmo15]

[trudbol]

@shmo15 Sony Vegas Pro 9.

[shmo15]

@trudbol awesome sauce man. thanks. lookin forward to more. (dont worry baby) ^.-

[williams0579]

Beautiful singing. Not only that, but you also take the time to add a little comedy here and there like with the beginning of this video, and with facial expressions, etc, which make your videos both fun to watch and listen to.

And yes, I will absolutely share this with my friends haha

[trudbol]

@williams0579 Thanks, delighted you enjoyed my little show! ;-)

[Snyder7077]

you should make a multitrack for barbara ann!

Listened to this between 50 and 60 times since start. One of top youtube favorites.

[trudbol]

@CognosSquare Awesome, thanks! I hope your friends are enjoying it too (hint hint). ;-)

[rhilton1881]

Splendid!  A very worthy tribute to a great group, the Beach Boys! It was a pleasure to listen to it.

[trudbol]

@rhilton1881 Thank you for the kind words. Do share this video with friends! ;-)

[Pouliot27]

Génial tes harmonies! Et waow au chandail des canadiens de Montreal au debut, je suis de là, et on est plusieurs à savoir qui tu es :D

[trudbol]

@Pouliot27 Merci ! On s'est rencontrés à Montréal ? Tu m'intrigues ! ;-)

[Pouliot27]

@trudbol Euhm, ça m'étonnerait qu'on se soit déjà rencontré. On s'entend que la population de Montréal ne se limite pas à 60 personnes xD

[trudbol]

@Pouliot27 Je demande parce que tu dis que vous êtes plusieurs à "savoir qui je suis", du coup je suis intrigué ! ;-)

[mjbeani89]

Your range is just.... wow

[trudbol]

@mjbeani89 Thanks! Do share this video if you liked it! ;-)

[canuck2360]

[trudbol]

@canuck2360 Thank you! ;-)

[NiceGuy1405]

Trubol, could you please sing Little Saint Nick by the Beach Boys. It's my favourite christmas song and it fitting as it's nearly that time of year. p.s. your an amazing singer

[trudbol]

@NiceGuy1405 Thanks! Could you provide me with sheet music? 

[NiceGuy1405]

@trudbol Wow, I didn't think you'd read this but, unfortunatley I do not have the sheet music. Right now I REALLY wish I did though :(

[jenna158]

you are extremely talented my sir :)

[trudbol]

@jenna158 Thank you, I'm delighted you enjoyed my little show. ;-)

[90sfanforever]

You're awesome dude.

[iamkuljuarenot]

[trudbol]

@sophiehenry120 Thanks! ;-)

[sophiehenry120]

@trudbol no problem!

[jobobskittles]

great video! did you learn the parts yourself or is there a particular arrangement you found for the music? thanks!

[trudbol]

@jobobskittles Thanks! I transcribed the parts by ear. If you're interested in my audio learning tracks, you can email me at jneel@free.fr Cheers ;-)

[omniiijay]

When I saw the Hockey shirt I was like= :3

But when I heard the music I wa like= :O

an after 20 clickings of the repeat buttons I was finally like= :D

[trudbol]

@omniiijay Haha, thanks! Best comment of the day. ;-)

[AndrewStuartPeterson]

Could you do Kiss the Girl from The Little Mermaid? I saw a barber shop quartet perform it once, and it was amazing beyond belief.

[trudbol]

@AndrewStuartPeterson I'd be happy to give it a shot if you can provide me with the sheet music for that song for TTBB barbershop. Cheers ;-)

[KarstenPudwill]

dat dolphin.

[BeckyLovesCookies]

You should make a CD with your songs!! Or have you done that already?? Please! I want one! :)

[trudbol]

@BeckyLovesCookies I just read your other message: yes, I have a CD ready. Just email me at jneel@free.fr ;-)

[MySassy11]

Bellisima!!! You do well... and i love this song sunglasses are wicked man

[YakkoChristine]

@trudbol all of them ;) Why don't you send me a message

[YakkoChristine]

My god he is so hot!!!!

[trudbol]

@YakkoChristine Well thank you! Which one? ;-p

[Starrleo]

I'm old enough to like the Comedian Harmonists.

You're in the same league boy !

cheers, Leo.

[trudbol]

@Starrleo That's quite a compliment, thank you! I know that clearly I'm not, Ari Lechnijkov (their amazing tenor) alone is thousands times better than I am (haha), but I certainly am flattered by the comparison. ;-)

[MusicIsMyWeapon5]

Kind of hard to pick out that third harmony but I found it haha. Good job man keep it up

[trudbol]

@MusicIsMyWeapon5 I sell audio learning tracks if you're looking to learn this song (or any other I performed on my channel). Just drop me a line at jneel@free.fr. Cheers

[Mrated333]

is there any sheet music to this? my school has this choir just for men and i think that this song would be great for it

[trudbol]

@Mrated333 I sell audio learning tracks, please PM me if you're interested in my services. Cheers

[pokeguy458]

Please Cover "if i didn't care" By the ink spots,You're awesome!

[knoodelhed]

While the jury is still out as to whether the Beach Boys used BSQ techniques to devise their vocals, I have no doubt that they might have at least been influenced by them. Good job! :D

Alors que le conflit se poursuit quant à savoir si les Beach Boys vraiment utilisé les techniques barbershop-quartet à imaginer leurs voix, je n'ai aucun doute qu'ils ont été influencés par tel. Beau travail! :D

[ludovic311994]

Vraiment agréable à l'écoute , la "mise en scénario" est bien sympa à regarder. :D

[rmb232]

You rock!  Keep up the great work!

[DestinationBabel]

Ca fait deux semaines que je l'écoute 3 fois par jour... salaud, ta musique rend drogué!!

[tilapia136]

belle performance, bravo !

[heartspell789]

I really have enjoyed watching your video's, you have such a wonderful voice! Singing "a cappella" has become a dying art...thank you for keeping it alive! I have missed it so. Keep up the great work!!

[LittlePinkSnowball]

:D

[jankoski84]

Listening to this reassures me that I was born in the wrong decade. Beautiful job.

[BTrisc0392]

Hey Julien, awesome job! Are you able to share the sheet music you used for this arrangement? My a cappella group at school is interested in learning this. Thanks!

[trudbol]

@BTrisc0392 Thanks! Please send me an email to jneel@free.fr if you are interested in my audio learning track services. Thanks ;-)

[seantheswan3]

Love it! I am a big fan!!! I really hope if you continue the beach boys path that you'll do God only knows and I was wondering if you

Had rights to the music at all because I would love to have the chance to perform it.

[trudbol]

@seantheswan3 I'm currently taking song requests for the talent contest I'm in. Just vote and leave your song request on the contest page (Link in the video description)!

I don't understand your question about "having the rights". What do you mean and what does that have to do with you performing the song?

I sell audio learning tracks if that's what you're looking for. Drop me a line at jneel@free.fr if you're interested. Cheers ;-)

[virtualjp1]

Pourquoi pas i get around ?

[joshk923]

[flightoftheicarus]

Whenever I come watch this video, I find it EXTREMELY difficult to only watch it once, I am just blown away with how excellent this is.

Every time I hear this, I want to learn how to sing just so I can sing this to my Girlfriend.

[trudbol]

[Tyuo2010]

my fav slow song... nicely done man :)

[trudbol]

@Tyuo2010 Thank you! Feel free to share my video with your friends!

[mypriend]

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

Which software do you use to edit the video?

Cheers!

[trudbol]

@mypriend Thank you! Share! Share! Share (this video)! Did I say "share"'? Yes!

PS: I use Sony Vegas Pro, that's it.

[gfgbfn]

What would you say is your voice part? Obviously you can sing them all but which is the easiest for you?

[trudbol]

@gfgbfn The high tenor parts are sung falsetto andare a bit pushy, they're really high for me. The bass part is a bit low for any given day, but I usually can manage to sing down to F2 without forcing too much. It's really singing in the baritone / low tenor range that is easiest for me, so say from A2 to F4 roughly. ;-)

[AusThompsTime]

what is your full voice range?

[trudbol]

@AusThompsTime I don't know what "range" means, in the sense I can scream a super high note and whisper a super low one, but what for? On stage without a microphone and in a large room, I sing comfortably for A2 to G4 in full voice, so baritone range. With a microphone, I can push that from D2 to D5 (with girly falsetto). "Surfer Girl" really pushes my voice (from E2 to C5), and you can hear that I strain quite a bit on the high parts. ;-)

[mkcozzens]

Good job! And you have really good taste in which songs to cover!

[trudbol]

@mkcozzens Thank you very much! I hope your friends will also enjoy this video (hint hint). ;-)

[pandamonium170]

You are an inspiration to me, hats off to you, keep up the god work!

[trudbol]

@pandamonium170 Thank you very much! Please share this video if you enjoyed it! ;-)

[CFSouldier]

How did you get Charlie Sheen to sing the 'lead ' portion... LOL

[Brassman388]

For a second, I thought Kermit the Frog was singing.

[3Mitsi]

Wow.....What a beautifull version of this song.. and such an Amazing Voice!! I really love it..

[trudbol]

@3Mitsi Thank you very much! Do show my video to your friends and help me get my music out there, I would love to take this to the next level. ;-)

[TheCndhe]

Dear Julien,

i do love you

-Surfer Girl

[trudbol]

@TheCndhe You're a sweetie, thank you for all the nice comments you've left on my videos. ;-)

[suegirl4444]

So clever to add Beach Boys to your song list. My dad was very impressed. Tubular, dude.

[TheWolfgirl46]

ok. i've got to say. i've listened to other songs like this but i can't stop pressing replay, you're really good ^^ hope one day you become a big hit ^^

[trudbol]

@TheWolfgirl46 Thank you! I'd love my music to take off as well. Do share my videos around you with friends and help me make it happen!

[7explorer7]

It would be very cool if you did California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas!

[trudbol]

@7explorer7 Thanks! Good suggestion, I'll add it to my list. I just need to find sheet music. It's almost always the most limiting factor. ;-)

[trudbol]

@spicegirlsfan472 No worries and thanks. ;-)

[djmaur]

@spicegirlsfan472 People that come back, in the anonymity of the net, and make a kind retraction like you have, well... they gotta be nice people. Bad moods come and go, and kind folk "pick up" after themselves when that happens.

[999coolfilms]

hey i reallt really enjoyed the video and make these kind of them i like the arrangement very much can you send my the sheet music by any chance thanks

[trudbol]

@999coolfilms Thanks! I make audio learning tracks for all the songs on my YouTube channel, including this one. Please send me an email to jneel@free.fr. if you're interested. Cheers

[trudbol]

@spicegirlsfan472 What do you mean?

[djmaur]

@trudbol I don't think spice gets barbershop style, a group of guys having fun, hamming it up, etc.

[trudbol]

@djmaur I guess. Oh well, can't win'em all. ;-)

[djmaur]

@trudbol Oh, and by the way, well done. This something I have wanted to do for years but haven't. Doesn't help that I now strain to get above C. I was a baritone/tenor once...
