Rewatching some older videos. Listening has been the biggest improvement in my harmonies. It like when I was learning to draw. You’re really becoming a better at observing. You already have the motor skills.
A barrier has FINALLY been broken. I've sung along with every one of my favorite Chains records and I hear the harmonies so well. Layne was ethereal and while I can't sing as well as he, I know I'm hitting the notes Jerry did and hitting Layne's in lower octaves. What you did for me here is helped me to be able to harmonize with myself now. Thank you. I've been struggling with a particular new tune for months. I wanted layering and big pre choruses and choruses. Tomorrow the revelation gets put into motion. Much love Chris- Chris;)
Hi Chris, I have been trying to learn to harmonize for a while now, but because of you I have already cracked the code, so thank you for this video. It has helped me immensely... it gives me the leads on the simplest yet effective way to train my ear and to harmonize. The code has finally been broken. I can harmonize with any song now. Thank you Chris for this.
This excercise helps with so much much more than harmonies! ❤ E.g. I am not great at playing guitar over chord changes, I usually just stick to the scales. But I feel this excercise can really help you internalize the sounds of chords and their respective parts and play better melodies.
This is a great idea for learning the feeling of intervals. The part where you were going 1 3 and then the 5 in the octave below probably confuses people who are newer to these concepts, but still great advice.
I understood cause im a jazz musician, but I agree even other musicians dont get using numbers as scale degree... But its the best I know to communicate
Hi Chris - really great lesson, I've subscribed! I'm a singer songwriter based in the UK and vocal harmonies are a big part of what I do in the studio, so this vid is a great resource for training. Thanks for the great content 👍
I learned that singing is just humming LMAO. It's kind of funny when you figure it out. The only thing that was tricky was breath support and trusting the amount of air flow you use. All those isolation exercises such as Nay, BuB, Buh, Wee, etc help you figure that out lol. The notes are automatic and beginners struggle with air flow and telling the difference between resonance. It's kind of funny when you realize this. Now I just focus like I'm going to hum and sing and now all my registers are blended. All of us start off using way to much tension which is what I did and though you had to scream those high notes out but that is wrong. It's actually easy, it's just understanding that's hard. It's your brain re learning where to focus and what muscle you should actually be using. You can even intensify it with compression after you got it down. I can even do vibrato now! I couldn't believe it that I achieved it. I'm learning to sing in harmony now so I can sing along with UA-camrs on here.
I have usually been able to pick up music by ear- the names of notes make very little sense to me, and I have no idea what the numbers are in reference to. That being said, I’m practicing the ability to harmonize more on a whim, and this has been really helpful as an exercise! You’re an amazing musician, beautiful to listen to. Thank you for putting this out to the world.
Chris, are you originally from a folkie/blues background? The folkies I know have always used the thumb to fret the bass notes, and we keep getting told by more classically taught players that this is wrong and you should have your thumb hidden behind the neck. I've never seen anyone else use the thumb like this, but I'm here for it :D
02:56 _Oh. Ho. Ho, it's magic!_ Your oh's cued up the chorus of Pilot's _Magic_ for me 😂. Could you confirm that it's the same notes you're hearing or at least a transposed version of it?
Can anybody answer to my dumb question? If we play 6-5-4 strings on G, 5-4-3 string on C - which ones do we play on D? Oh, and another quiestion for vocalists who also plays guitar: How do I sustain good posture if I'm not that good on guitar and have to look at frets and stuff? I notice that sitting also effects my support, so any tips on torso and hands positioning?
The D chord is played with strings 4, 3, 2, and 1, where the notes of the fourth and second string are the same (D). As far as playing and singing, I'd say get more comfortable with playing before you sing along. You can always record yourself playing and then sing over that, but I think it's worth it to just take the time (shouldn't be that long if you practice regularly) to learn how to play through a song without having to look at your hands too much.
Imma be straight up with you. I don't understand the stuff you said at first, however I play guitar, and sing. I don't know how to read music though. Just learn to play without thinking about it at all. Then sing. You can't think about both. Singing is the priority though. If you mess up a little on guitar it's not that noticable. It'll get better as you work at it.
Chris, What type of acoustic guitar is this? BTW I'm trying to harmonize with my own vocals to do a cover by doubling up even I'm trying to do a cover "I think we're alone now" by Tommy James and the Shondells. I want this acoustic guitar to play only acoustic jams.
@@chrisliepe i was askin, i dont know it sounded it like it... like if you type in 432hz tone, thats what ut sounded like... Few people put it in the background of their videos
@@OM-md6ki haha... ya know what you're hearing... It's my acoustic ringing incidentally and reacting to the resonance my voice is putting out. I just heard it again in a video I'm editing today for the channel. GOOD EARS! :)
@@chrisliepe hahahha ohh okay!!! I listen to that tone all the time so its imbedded in my head... Thank you for everything bro, thank you God for your wonderful amazing gifts, and bless you for sharing them. Foreal bro!!! 💯♥️ Many people appreciate you

Did you just play the chords on the guitar and arpeate them?
@Christopher Bell, How did you make out with your song? I would like to hear it if you have uploaded somewhere. Cheers!
I love your vibrato. You sound like a bard from heaven. It's gorgeous to listen to

That's me you described me 🤦. I just started learning to sing myself and my tension is everywhere 👀🤦. I'm going to try do the humming.

Really new to trying to develop my own voice..since i was young i’ve always tried to sing songs in their exact pitch even if it wasn’t my voice type
wow. super-duper great lesson and easy to understand.
This the video I've been looking for, even though I've never seen it before. This helps me so much. Thanks Chris!
Fantastic instruction. Thank you!
My range must be close to yours because I love singing along with you and my vibrato comes out beautifully when I do
Chris I just want to find the harmony video that’s in your intro!! I love it so much!
An idea's lesson, thank you.
You help me all the time
so your learning to sing the guitar awsome
Thank you!
👍 this is a very nice harmonizes practice video! Thank you 🙏
Thanks . For this lesson !!!
Good lesson Chris

And it burn burn burn ... the ring of fire

Very helpful brother
Glad you think so!

I want this acoustic guitar to play only acoustic jams.
It's an old Tacoma acoustic. I'm not sure they make them anymore. It's a fantastic guitar though... LOVE the full yet present sound.
@@chrisliepe I wonder how much is it compares to Dollar $ and the Pesos ₱.
If the guitar Tacoma is available at the Philippines.
❤what if there is a minor within the progression
Yo he got that Toyota brand guitar
Will it hold good if the subsequent chord becomes a minor chord .
It could sound really cool! Try and see! :) happy accidents can be the best part about music
Can we get this in all 12 keys PLEEEEEEEASE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
I've got much more of this in my course Discover Your Voice... You can request an invite at chrisliepe.com :) !!
Whats the strumming pattern u used in your mini song ?
Random grooving. Not much thought but based around 16th notes :)
You playin a 432hz A in the background?
I am?
@@chrisliepe i was askin, i dont know it sounded it like it... like if you type in 432hz tone, thats what ut sounded like... Few people put it in the background of their videos
@@OM-md6ki haha... ya know what you're hearing... It's my acoustic ringing incidentally and reacting to the resonance my voice is putting out. I just heard it again in a video I'm editing today for the channel. GOOD EARS! :)
@@chrisliepe hahahha ohh okay!!! I listen to that tone all the time so its imbedded in my head... Thank you for everything bro, thank you God for your wonderful amazing gifts, and bless you for sharing them. Foreal bro!!! 💯♥️ Many people appreciate you
What happened was I memorised ur mini song and kept getting the 2nd and the 3rds wrong in the C chord whenever i play the normal G C D chords hahaha
prolly sounded kinda cool hehe
I don’t get it.
I don't either.
I’m going hungry EEEEEEEEAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH
One of the best songs ever
sing them from the root.
we're not doing the basic 1,3, 5.
wtf?
If you didn't have problems before, you might have now.
I think the idea is you take a non-standard chord, and sing the main 3 notes that make up that chord.
ty i cant sing at all im low like Johnny Cash lol
Van Halen had the best harmonies
Not easy😢
Not for beginners.
Maybe not, but my free ear training course at mymusicalvoice.com is!
