5:12 um, so I have a couple of things that i'm
5:15 working on today neither one of which I really know so just like first time playing one of them second time playing the other the one thing I noticed with one of them was that the key it's in doesn't- like I can't do the...
5:56 And then the second one is Melissa.
5:59 silent legacy and that's the one where i'm having trouble figuring out how to make my voice work for the song but but i really like the song so i'd like to be able to figure out a way but let's let's start out with the e...
6:15 The River
7:23 Before you do another verse for us, judging is really good at the end of the verse where you push your voice into your belter,— Right. But then I don't think you took enough of a breath and I could not understand the v...
8:09 The River
9:29 I'm supposed to bridge two chords to repeat there. However, was that better?
9:35 Far as air air on the okay, let's let's try
9:39 that again from the top then ya ya and the lead singer of imminent swimming also has a similar kind of range and tonal color so I'm not as good as he is. I mean you stretch the imagination but I do think this one's well ...
10:14 I've ever seen it flow, I wonder where it goes
10:27 Okay.
10:35 The River
12:26 I don't understand the bridge to chorus to repeat. I'm going to have to go back and listen to the original song because I don't
12:36 I don't remember any of the words.
12:39 repeating at all, like the version I remember of it. But I also haven't listened to the song for at least 10 years. Okay, let's take a look... ... yeah right okay well first let me see if i can find most the etheric song...
13:42 again it's very new to me although i haven't
13:45 We've played this one once before, so that'll help. Are you familiar with the song? All right. This.
13:59 Yeah, no, this is not a radio hit, but it should have been.
14:06 Silent Legacy — Melissa Etheridge
17:15 I really think that's great for you. Yeah, one thing I can't do that she does and I wish I could do is she goes up an octave for your body is alive, no one told you what you'd feel. I do not have the range for it. So I c...
18:17 I tried, of course, to see because it was easy key to playing it. Why did you steal their matches in the one room motel? Once they gave you answers, now they gave you that. Never understand, now the question is could I g...
18:53 stay up there that long. Like, I feel it
18:56 feel like I could gain that ability if I like worked on it every day for a month Like for a couple of months deliberately just staying up there And because I can stand there longer than I used to be able to but I don't h...
19:18 All the muscles on my throat are just not up to that challenge. Yeah, all right, do you think I should…I'll stick with the version as it's written in, then and not go up the octave. for sure cause it is okay
19:59 And, you know, if I were recording this then I might think about doing it just once for recording.
20:04 But I'm not. I'm just planning on doing this live as part of one of my shows. Yeah, you can actually, like start your vocal board. You can actually strain the muscle. Yeah I would assume that like any muscle, if you push...
20:47 First time this year that I've run into a song where I'm like, oh, if only I had three more notes up at the top but
20:54 I also recognize, 3 notes, that's a big stretch. Especially when you have to give so much support. You have the support now.
21:22 Breathing exercises I did have done really good.
21:25 things for me. Right.
21:56 ooo, ooo, ooo
22:00 walked before i run walk before i run is what you're saying yes
22:16 oooo ha ha ha ha eeeee OOOOO
22:24 Whoa.
23:18 oooooooooooo
23:22 Be my mother I may. My mouth is, like, as wide as I can get it now now my eye is holding up. Uhh. Like, that's higher than I would normally singular a song. Right. Like, when it opens out, I can do it, right if I'm warme...
25:41 I will sail my vessel! I will sail my vessel! I will sail my vessel! I will sail my vessel! Till the river runs dry, like a bird upon the wind, His waters on my sky never reached my destination. If I never try so Yeah, l...
26:22 oh yeah it's in
26:36 Oh of my instincts on this song are going to be for the key that I normally play it in, but it would, yeah, that's an interesting idea, I should try doing that one all the way up.
26:46 It's an easy one to transpose in your head, because it doesn't have a lot going on.
27:00 And we'll sail my vessel Till the river runs dry Like
27:10 Stop. You did vessel and you cut it off and you did dry from a cut off. So don't cut off your nose.
27:29 I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
27:45 I Definitely, uh, there's a lot of air to do that I Mean
27:54 That's like, one lungful per line.
27:57 that point yeah i read yeah yeah what key did he originally do it in I admit I don't know yeah it's growth works
29:00 I'm going to guess it's going to be easily open-tuning.
29:04 guitar keys like E or D although I, I don't know for sure i mean the chords have got to be in nine million places on the unit D major, oh that makes sense that both fits his range and it's uh... a natural open-guitar tun...
30:38 But I will admit that I'm an admirer of Garth.
30:42 You've probably noticed I play a few of his things. Too many times we stand aside. Let the waters strip away. a blue Right right ... ... ... right ... ... so while I was flipping through here, looking for the Melissa Eth...
32:59 This City
34:40 Yeah, I was just focusing on trying to make sure every syllable was heard. Yeah, oh good. I think that's a lot of progress since we started doing this.
35:22 Um, so I'm going to have to take off cause I'm juggling…
35:25 bunch of stuff today but thanks a lot for your help and I will try doing that exercise with bumping up through the rivers opening up and see how that does for working on my Range... and maybe you can put like a little mi...
