Life too short for long UA-cam videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Well this is a bit different! We attended Thomann Gear University during May 2018 and bumped into a lot of friends old and new. One of our dear chums is Mary Spender - find her on UA-cam here / maryspender - and among her many talents is her wonderful singing. So Dan and I decided to take a TPS-sized wrecking ball to that and ask her to sing with us!
What follows is more or less exactly as it happened, in the spirit of trying to get you to sing. Even if you’ve been telling yourself you can’t, you can.
Singing is great for the soul and it’ll make your life better, especially when you do it with other people. Sure, you absolutely will feel silly at first and you might not exactly be Aretha Franklin in the pipes department, but put some time into it and you’ll be amazed what you can achieve. If nothing else, it will really help your guitar playing too.
Now, importantly, this is purely designed to whet your singing whistle. We'd highly recommend hitting up a specialist site or channel if you're getting into singing for the first time - there are lots out there!
So as we say, slightly off the beaten track for us, but, erm, we were in Germany. And some other things. There is much more to come from our time at TGU over coming weeks.
MASSIVE thanks to the good people of Thomann who put this whole event on. And of course to Mary for being a good sport. Check out the various #TGU18 hashtags on social media and Thomann’s own UA-cam channel for much more stuff.
Enjoy the episode!
Pedals in this episode…
There are no pedals in this episode, but there are acoustic guitars and an teeny-tiny acoustic bass…
• Gibson J-45 Vintage 2018
• Martin D-18
• Ortega Lizzy Bass. We think. Going into the Morgan, possibly.

@thatpedalshow @maryspender I showed it to my 4.5-year-old daughter and she asks for it all the time..."dada can we watch the harmony video?" Tonight we recruited mom a sang a triad together. The look on her face when she "heard" it was priceless. Thank you for all you do!
Ah man, that’s wonderful. I sang harmony with my 13 yr old daughter last night, it’s the best thing. Please tell your daughter that the bald guy in the vid says she’s awesome and to keep singing with her dad :)
I love you guys so friggin much.
Ah man. You’ll make us tear up. Can’t wait to see you soon Joey!
Your episode remains #1, Joey.
Now we really need an acoustic version of whiskey
That's it we need a TPS album. 'All you need is fuzz' title track. Erm.....Daydream Tubescreamer, ..It's so funny (how we don't talkbox any more)....Don't look back in flanger....
Oooohhhhh!!! You win the internet today! All A Klon The Watchtower? /0)
That Pedal Show Just got Delayed by ZVex Top?
Yes yes yes!
Don’t look back in flanger. That had me. Doffs cap.
That Pedal Show Mudhoney for Nothing?
Feels so good seeing 3 people in a small room enjoying guitar playing and singing together. I'm looking forward to do this also again one day. Thank you for those great 30 minutes!
I'm satisfied watching this, even though there's no pedals involved LOL
Hahahha! Excellent!
"We're going to make ourselves look silly so that you can feel more confident... . " Instantly summons the voices of angels... . . .
This is one of the best episode of that pedal show, and it's sans pedals. What a massive treat you guys are...
Love the honesty in the vid. I could watch you guys jam and chat for hours. Thanks folks.
The most amazing thing about this channel is that despite whole equipment, boutique stuff etc. it shows that all that matters is that music is the biggest joy you can buy to yourself !!! I love you guys
Thank you Jakub. Ultimately that’s what it’s all about. :0)
This is awesome! Been getting more and more into harmonies the last year, and I`m 39 and have been singing my whole life. Thank you!
One of the best things in music is playing and singing with other human beings. What a lovely, open, honest and necessary episode! Well done!
I've done this quite a few times in my life: playing Pop or Rock songs with only acoustic instruments and harmony vocals.
The human voice has a magic going on that does not only make it a joy to listen, but much more brings pure happiness and joy to the singers. Even more so when you sing harmonies with good friends. And if you're not friends yet you will be after you sang together. :)
Agree 100000 per cent. If such a number exists, and I think it does because singing together is more than the sum of its parts. It’s real, it’s visceral and it’s moving, even when you’re not exactly Marvin Gaye. Ahem. Mick here. :0)
That's the way to do it. No one's ever explained it so simply. Thankyouthankyouthankyou
Awesome! This one seems to have gone down well. So naturally we will do more!
Can't praise this highly enough. Brave, interesting and impressive - all the things youtube content can be when its done well. Bravo all round.
Thank you Jacob. So glad people are getting it! We were bracing ourselves for a little negativity, but now it doesn’t matter that a few people have connected with what we were trying to achieve. Thank you for the kind words, and of course for watching!
This was a constantly smiling episode. Always great to see/hear the lovely Mary too.
The three of you are like magic, I swear.
finally - another sing,sing video.....luv it !!!!.... I got no voice right now...grinding dust cough from 6 weeks at hotrod shop- so glad i went from a squeek to a few words.....get'n better evry day...
Truely fantastic! So inspirational... and a brave move to show the processes we all fear/avoid. Big thumbs up for taking TPS into new territory.
Cheers Ian. Loads of people seem to have enjoyed this. So let’s do more of it! Thanks for watching!
The new space is gonna be rocking if y'all keep these jams going
That’s the plan :)
Albeit not every show. Getting more than one musician in one place at the same time and getting anything at all done in terms of productivity is a logistical feat that we haven’t yet perfected. ;0) Mick here.
Love harmonies man! Beautiful! Really cool trio actually! Would happily sit and listen to you at a gig \m/
Karl Golden where Bobby goes fire follows
I am SO about this. A good vocal harmony is the most satisfying thing. Also you picked two songs that I love.
That was brilliant.
Beautiful guys, I'd pay to watch that live performance !
Oh my gosh, how come I’ve never seen this one before?! Lovely to see you three having fun together. 💙
That was great! Best thing my band Pecked ever did was have two women join us who can really sing. Has made such a difference and our harmony work now gives me goosebumps.
YES, MUCH MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!! Awesome Awesome Awesome, great video!!
What a treat! Love seeing Mary on the show! Thanks for thinking outside the box on this one guys… Keep up the great work!!!
What a brilliant idea for a video - amazing
So good of you guys to do this.....human.
So very human
Very educational and sounded fantastic for being spur of the moment.
Wow I never mick's voice was so good!!!
Suhail Couto And at nite after pizza n wine he turns n2 a crimefighting super hero, but cant tell ya which 1.
Every time I watch, I learn. Thank you all for a truly gutsy lesson about learning to relax and just sing: a lesson I seem impelled to learn anew each time that SM58 stares me down at band practice:) Ain’t music grand?
A great episode! Thanks!
OUR LOVE, WOOOOO, that was angelic!!
Joey would be proud of you guys!! Fantastic job!
You all are so badass, its insane. Love this show!
Love This Episode !! "Shows to go ya" that the show is the guys and the chemistry between them and their guests........any and all subjects of making music are wonderfully presented !! Thank you !!
I've been playing in bands for 26 years and I always learn something new on TPS. Thanks for laying it out for us. I feel like I understand vocal harmonies much better now.
Hooray! Truth is, most bands just gloss over it because a) the vocals are often not treated with the same importance as the individual instruments and b) nobody wants to look silly. It’s really embarrassing when you get it wrong. But when you get it even half-right.... chills! I’d always recommend - Mick here - an hour at every rehearsal just for singing, no instruments. Wish I’d had the discipline to do that over the years. :0)
Absolute quality. Cheers and be lucky
Great harmonies here--Mick's Got Talent ! It's great to be a virtuoso at an instrument, but when you can add the true human touch to a performance, you are now at the zenith of being an artist. This video shows that it's as easy as practice.
Cracking episode, I loved it!
This was fantastic and quite inspiring to watch! Thank you.
Well done everyone. This is exactly what it is like if you sit down with a singer songwriter and figure out how the harmony vocals will work. Awesome demonstration of how it works in practice.
Loved this ! . Thanks
That was great - I've tried so often to sing along as I strum and either my voice or my fingers break loose from the song and it all winds up in a heap on the floor - drenched in my tears (of laughter at myself). I have NO idea how people can sing and play simultaneously. Not a clue how it's done. Kudos to all three of you managing not only that but harmonies as well. Respect. Also: Yeah... Mary's singing voice. Wow!
One of them has to become almost muscle memory. And bizarrely some of things that you think might be simple - for example just strumming fours and singing - can actually be super difficult because it doesn’t make ‘sense’ with the melody or rhythm of the singing. Nevertheless, start simple, nail the guitar part, nail the singing and then slowly bring them together. Just one line to begin with. You’ll get there’
Oh wow.... Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply. Wasn't expecting that.
I know *exactly* what you mean about it sometimes doesn't make seem to make overall sense as I'm practicing. But I'll persevere - after all I remember the early days of picking up a guitar and never imagining I could ever play a campfire C-chord cleanly. But, like everything else - it's all about practice and getting that muscle memory - whether chord grips or singing I guess. Again, thanks for bothering to read and reply.
This was great fun, well done!
This is awesome. Thanks guys
That was so AWESOME. Big thumbs up.
This gave me goosebumps , this NEEDS to happen as a band/ occasional gigging band.
I’d pay big money to see you guys perform no joke
Really enjoyed that guys, thanks!
Mick's voice is great. Please make an album together.
Love Mary 😍 excellent video as always chaps
This is wonderful, and unexpected! Shows that sometimes just bravely and cheerfully going back to the basics is really refreshing and useful. Thanks guys and Mary.
Totally unexpected and AWESOME! Thank you for doing this.
Always wanted to sing in bands but never had the confidence. This is fantastic video for me. Thank you
Please give it a go and don’t give up straight away. You always start off sounding like it will never work. But just a couple of super simple harmonies with a friend and you’ll become addicted! We wish you luck!
WOW! Jawdropping. More singing from you guys please!
You made my day, thanks a lot!!
Hey Guys, Mick "Gone" sounded great. ( so did the harmonies Dan and Mary ). You guys sing the best when you're not thinking. Singing is great for the soul. cheers
Best one yet
Lovely stuff - great sequel to last year's one!
As Dan says in the Joey videos “it’s soooo good, it’s soooo gooood”. Beautiful beautiful job i love you
AWSOME! Great singing.
Bravo 👏 and thank you.
This takes guts. You guys provide such a great service to new musicians here.
wow !!!! Love it!
best video from TGU18 so far, bravo!
Well done, this was great!
That was just lovely. This is 1 of my favourite videos of all time! Well done 🤘🏾
Love it! Great tips, great singing, and as always just a joy to watch. Appreciate you sharing it all and encouraging us to skin our knees a little.
Do it! It’s so much fun!
Love it Guys!
Great show guys! That was so helpful and all bands should take time to watch and learn!
LOVED this episode!
1. Joey Landreth song from the start
2. Jolene was awesome
3. All you guys sing incredible
4. FANTASTIC tips on harmony!!! I am a lead singer/guitarist and just learning how to sing harmony and this video had so many amazing tips that helped me understand so much better!!!!
Killer vid guys and gal ;-) Amazing as always!
That's awesome that you think it's going to help. Wonderful news!
I really like this type of format. Look forward to you all making videos in a band situation. All of these leaning experiences are great to see the journey. Cheers.
Hey! Thank you so much for that video! I’ve searched UA-cam for a video like this for years... singing live and doing harmonies like these is something I’ve desperately wanted to do for so long... thanks again
Cheers Dean! Seems like this one has gone down really well... so obviously we’ll do more. Cheers!
I've watched this video a while back and I had to come back and say that Dan's words on him getting gigs not due to his guitar playing but due to his singing got me picking up a mic in my current band (which is great for me, not so much for those hearing me :-D ).
You get in there, that’s fantastic!
Oh man. Mary is unbelievable if she can make you two sound good!!! Just joshin... you guys sounded great and it was very helpful as well.
Hahaha!!!!
This needs to be a regular thing. This was fantastic!
Sweeeet!
So, so good!
Excellent lesson and so well explained. thank you!!!
Lovely. Great vocalists - all 3 of you. Brilliant- oh yeah, helpful. Great song choices, too
Thank you!
You lot are awesome. A great trio! Plan the world tour!
Thanks for a nice mini-tutorial on singing harmony. I shared it on my song circle Facebook page. Your voices sound wonderful!
Awesome to see yous doing something new and different, way she goes.
I never knew you could sing! I've been watching loads of TPS this year since I can't go out and gig, and this video is actually getting me quite emotional. Missing singing, missing playing guitar anywhere other than at home, missing gigging.
Awesome!
Love this video
Oh THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!
I just had to watch it 2 times in a row. Amazing!
Mary Spender as the Major/minor factor, sweet!
I'm adding "Doe a Deer" to my Cover Songs list today!
Great vid.
Awesome lesson! So good to see first hand. Thank you for lighting the path once again! I could watch this for another 2 hours lol
Yes, yes yes! More singing!
I've just recently ventured down this road, and at first I found it incredibly hard... But the more and more i do it, the better it gets. Self confidence was my biggest hurdle, i got through it by just doing it, and pushing through (especially through all those wrong notes ;) )
Amen to that!
Fantastic video! Great job by all
Brilliant video. Everything good comes from practice.
WoW! Had my first singing lesson today before I knew this video was out. Partly inspired by a comment Dan made when asked the single thing you can do to improve your guitar playing is learn to sing. Inspirational guys.
Awesome. Your teacher would probably be critical of the way we’ve done this. Listen to them! Good luck!
Great video guys. Both educational and fun. 👍
That was awesome. I really enjoyed this.
you have beautiful voices!!
Yeah Baby, Mary & the boys make goosebumps again. Highlight!
Brilliant!
Well that was amazing
Great stuff guys, very educational and entertaining.
