You should do a Three Dog Night song....
I wish we got a studio version with Randy Meisner
A beautiful breakdown, thank you! Especially love the notes on timbre, CSN had such gorgeous tone blending their distincitve voices. One thing: the lyric is 'thrill me to the marrow' '
What equipment do you use? Just basic setup?
Brother, what an outstanding deconstruction of this classic!
Damn, I didn't know Walsh was that high
Really looking forward for lyin eyes and nee kid in town
Sounds like he’s full of Schmidt….
😂😂😂
The album version of it by the Seldom Scene is good to. Kind of hillbillyish but in a good way.
I don't think Stills played that D on the guitar but I've seen it played that way
I drank every time you said the name “Timothy B. Schmidt”, my liver fell out.
Another banger Kev
Well done you! Really enjoyed this. Congrats on hitting the really, really high notes. Somehow, I thought this was Randy Meisner on lead, not TBS. Both voices are/were extraordinary. Thank you!
Do more of these types of harmony songs, especially with a country tilt. May i suggest Four Strong Winds by Neil Young or The Girl From Yesterday by Eagles. Also Rider in the Rain by Randy Newman, background vocals by Eagles.
Oops, just repeated myself. You have a soothing, great story telling voice. Keep it up, love discovering your channel! Chuck in NC

No runs, no tricks, no belts...that pretty much describes the problem with music today, and what was so right about music in the 60s-80s. It was about the tune, lyrics and words, not about how many runs or how high or much you could belt out a note. By the way, love your voice. Keep it up. Besides Eagles, the 60s and 70s were the era of great harmonies. I would also include The Carpenters and the Bee Gees as tops in the harmony department along with Eagles. God but I love great harmonies. ❤
There are 3 mainly country songs the Eagles did that i just love, this one, Ol 55, and my personal favorite, The Girl From Yesterday.
Very nice Kevin!! You do justice to the Eagles harmonies
man, you are the ONE! thanks for sharing.
Don Henley sang the higher harmony, not Joe Walsh.
man that's awesome!!!!! I love how you dissect it and go through each part....very talented!!!! 👍☮️🎶
loooooove it <3<3<3 I think in the 3rd movement the part "Ruby throated sparrow" are singing the lower (Stills) and the high (Nash) and then the middle (crosby) join in
8:40, 11:32, 14:07, 15:50, 17:29 - LOW 8:55, 11:56, 14:27, 16:05, 17:41 - MID 9:10, 12:20, 14:37, 16:21, 17:53 - HI 9:26, 14:47, 16:38, 18:06 - Super HI
I want to learn song "new kid in town" please
Dude, this is awesome! Always loved Leadon and this cover, especially!
This is the best of Brian Wilson...no one on the planet could have come up with this complex longing yet upbeat masterpiece, the perfect vocals and backing track...simply unreal!
His preface describes what I couldn't when I was 12 years old, 1975, and was buying Beach Boys albums when my friends were into Fleetwood Mac, etc. The surf and car songs were fun, but songs like Don't Worry Baby and In My Room expressed my longing with a touch of Heaven in their harmonies ❤
Check out laurenc2112. Him and two girls do the best version of this song I've ever heard.
Guinevere is my current favorite, but this is right in the mix
Thanks for this video. Great job
you are an angel from above, thank you so much for this!!!! never did harmonies before, but this really helps!!!
Very nice Kevin. I’ve been in music for 45 years. You are quite the talent.
Sorry, was looking for it. Get rid of the auto tune. Your voice is not in key except in some of the auto tune. Sorry…so many sharps and flats
Great job but how about wooly bully watch it now 😅
The mid high and maybe the high? Is actually off ian lan matthews experimental/outtakes "orphans and outcasts" hes singibg it in drop D in an amphitheater
Mike Love Harmonies Chorus 1: 9:19 Verse 2: 11:33 Bridge: 14:50 Chorus 3: 16:55
Great job! Will share with mates!
Yikes
Thank you so much Kevin
Great video! I have a bunch of questions, but I will start with this first. I created a backing track for live performance by downloading the stems from Karaoke Versions. I was originally going to leave the "background harmonies" in that track, and just perform this singing the lead. Your video totally inspired me, and I am considering ditching the backgrounds, and recording them myself. So my questions are: 1. What mic are you using? I was going to just use either my Beta58, SM58, or EV ND767, but your mic sounds awesome! 2. What software are you using for your DAW to record the vocals? I have more questions, but I really just wanted to say, awesome video!!
One of the greatest rock harmonies ever…and you’ve broken it down so well for those like me who have had not had lessons in the art. Thank You!
This is so great 😀
Nice lesson! This is kinda what I did for my own cover of this song a while back. Unfortunately, there's mostly lows and low-mids in it as I wasn't able to hit highs that well back them.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It’s exactly what my friends and I were looking for. We just liked and subscribed 💜
I saw Stiils at Hawaii Theater 2008? All 2,000 people knew harmony as he did sing-along to suite Judy blue eyes on original guitar!!
pass on option 3, but thanx
Kevin is it possible to get the score you are using?
Thank you for this massive undertaking. Brian Wilson's music has touched me on a deep, emotional level since I was a young boy. This is one of favorite Beach Boys songs.
Fantastic! I heard Penn Jillette say recently on his podcast that he thinks David Crosby was flat most of the time, but I find that hard to believe. I wonder if you felt that when you dissected the harmonies or if Penn just doesn't fully understand how harmonies are sung.
