- Learn the Tennessee Whiskey Vocal Riff that will drive everyone wild when you sing it! Vocal Coach Ken Tamplin teaches you, note-by-note, how to sing this awesome lick! Bookmark and share this video! You'll want to reference this lesson again and again!
Chris Stapleton is one of the finest singers in the music industry today.
His soul, his phrasing, his impeccable pitch and his tone have
unforgettable character.
Because of this, I thought it would be fun to honor all the request
that came in to take a shot at demonstrating he famous lick he does in the choruses of Tennessee Whisky!
(I am a bit afraid that once I do this I am going to get a lot of
people asking me to do other famous licks... but hey, if I get enough requests I will be obliged to do it!)
But not only is Chris great on this country song, but Chris' SLAMMING vocals should be checked out from his rock band The Jompson Brothers.
With that said, let's see if we can learn this lick together!

my neighbors will think i've lost it for good this time.
They'll probably think you own a cat that's in heat...
PMSL
Hi
🤣
Androth 🙌🏼😹
I just came here to learn the "waaaarmm" part.
Ok!
Saaaaaame
Same
Lol me too!
Same lmao
What am i doing here... I'm a car Mechanic, not a singer.
😊
I'm a truck driver. It's great singing on the job. I'm always trying to learn a new song
Same here. Im a cleaner.
@@Glissentar Get ready to see a mechanic turned singer soon
😂❤
Bro u have changed my voice just from watching your videos I went from a kind of ok singer to i shock myself and in about to start recording song in the studio now.
Joshua Moss that’s awesome dude!
Ken, I usually get a polite ripple of applause on karaoke night at the pub doing my own version of Tennessee Whiskey. Last night I got a standing ovation doing it with this lick. Sixteen notes in one syllable!! I couldn't have figured it out on my own. Thank you. :-)
Awesome!!!
We want a video of it man!
Did you record yourself?
Thanks for this! I CANT BELIEVE this tutorial exists lol.. Just want to add for those who got a little lost around 2:50 ish.. practice F#-E-C#-B Before diving into C#-E, F#, C# part.
You're a lifesaver! Thank you!
Spent all day trying to nail this, 5 min 18 second video later and it’s thoroughly nailed 😃 along with my vocal chords 😆
Rock on!
Ken, your intonation is amazing! You are definitely gifted... love the raw soul you project!! By the way....Lead Singer Syndrome still rules! :-)
Thanks, Tracy! Easy on the LSS!
You might mention the influence of Etta James’s song I’d Rather Go Blind in reference to the style of singing in this song.
Yes, Rachael, there are remarkable similarities between the two. Both very good vocalists, I might add.
Chris went to highschoool where I went. Its crazy when you see such a talent come out of this obscure small town with less than 5,000 total population.
Brandon Williams Not so crazy. Lots of famous rock and country stars come from small towns. Sheryl Crow comes to mind.
That's really cool, Brandon!
Hi Ken, this was the first quality breakdown of the riff I’ve seen and it’s helped me so much as a musician and a singer. However, I have been listening to the tune a lot and I believe the note immediately preceding the C#-B-A ending is an E and not a C#. Let me know what you think!
You are right.
Yep
I agree ive always thought he had a sam cooke vibe.
Sam Cooke is my greatest influence and favorite singer ever. I would love a video breaking down/analyzing/appreciating a sam cooke song. I love him so much.
Question. Can you learn to sing better? Is it natural ? Are most famous singers natural? Or did they learn to sing over time. Thanks dude!
Anyone, even tone deaf people can learn how to sing. Some people are born singers, this is true. But almost everybody can learn how to have some kind of singing voice.
As a reference I know someone I met through a talent show. He was diagnosed with being medically tone deaf and he has the most smoothest singing voice I've ever heard.
Hey can you do something for country singing vowel technique? I want to get more of a Randy Travis sound but the country vowel modification escapes me and I don't know how to practice it.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Also check out Steeldrivers ! Stapleton's early bluegrass band with his soulful singing. Also, he's written as a ghost writer for over 20 years with over 1,000 songs. Amazingly inspiring on many levels.
Chris is totally awesome!
I try to do but it costs me the jump between the falsetto and the chest voice... I still do not know how to make that connection without jumpling the vocal cords. :(
That part will take a little bit of training, Carval. This tutorial is just the notes. The technique takes a little longer. 😊
Am I the only one who’s noticing the two added notes? 2:46 and 3:27
Yes, when he takes a break from the first part and then says to join on the next group of notes, there's two missing. If anyone has a guitar, I find playing the notes on screen to be a big help
omg thanks this is why i felt so confused
Yes
Yes I was wondering about that.. couple notes missing.
Yes!! I could get the first part and second part down perfectly fine but then when I went to add them I noticed there were extra notes and I had the hardest time connecting them lol! At least I know I'm not crazy 🤣
Hey, I’m new to singing and I have a question! Is he singing this in his falsetto? I think it’s too high for me to sing without falsetto. Am I doing it right? Is my range not big enough. Thanks for any advice!:)
Your question is a great conversation for the forum, please consider posting there, you'll get great feedback!
forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
Thank U Mr Man!!!
Your teaching works!!!
The rest I've seeked from, didn't do it for me.
Close.. you have the first section right, but you're missing a note in the back half.
It's: A,G#,F# G#,F#,E F#,E, C#,B,C#, E,F#,E, C#,B,A
Cheers!
What a voice! My God you can really sing. I love the Sam Cooke Analogy.
Thanks, Kevin!
Could you do a lesson on how to sing in the style of Paul Stanley? I’ve always liked his voice but haven’t quite figured out how he does it. Any tips?
Trace Smith- Thanks for the suggestion!
You know what my friend, its very late… but i found you, i got you . Easy charisma and smarts. Ill be back my friend, you can be a great help. Peace out brother x
Pretty close. The riff is actually A G# F# G# F# E F# E C# B C# E F# E C# B A. It’s a one octave descending run.
I thought this was a Ted Nugent vid!
As an acoustic solo I get this request a lot and never do it because:
1. It's not a style I enjoy singing in (the chorus) It reminds me of the teenage girls who audition for American Idol and add extra notes to everything.
2. Finding all those notes lol!
Great video breaking it down, Ken. I think I'll give it a go!! "WaaAAaAerarerAAerAAaermmmmmm..."
Hi Ken, this was extremely helpful however you have added notes in between the 1st run which is 6 notes and the 2nd run which is 4 notes……. Why? If you added this in the tutorial it would have been easier and made sense but you haven’t.
What a great demonstration on how to breakdown a peice. Sam Cooke was the first singer I really like, my dad turned me on to him. I love the comment on the similarities. I have a hard time hearing Sam in other singers styles, because I think of his style as just how singing should be.
Sam Cooke was maybe the most effortless singer of all time
From the bottom of my heart...thank you sir! God bless you!
You are welcome, Jose! Thanks for the kind words!
Dude! High five for referencing The Jompson Brothers! My band used to do shows with them back in the day. You could hear Chris singing louder than the PA sometimes. haha. So powerful.
Cool! I see you are doing it in head voice and he's doing it in chest - are the techniques the same?
oh there it is at 5:00! haha nevermind
I have a question for you, but first just wanted to say that I love your stuff, Ken. I'm a lead guitarist who has been thrust into the lead singing position as well, so your vids have helped me do that more easily. I mean, I have been singing for as long as I can remember and had at least decent technique that I just picked up without ever really thinking about it, but your vids are helping me to hopefully get as good at singing as I am at guitar.
I used to hate singing lead (largely because of the vulnerability that is the very nature of being a lead singer), but I am really actually liking it now at this point since I feel more comfortable and am learning to use my vocal "instrument" just as I learned to use a guitar, so thanks for your tips; they definitely help.
The question I have for you is a bit specific, but I figured I would ask for your advice anyway. So basically because of some medical issues I had around seven or eight years ago, I only have one lung. Luckily, my remaining lung has expanded in size, and I can go through most tasks of life fairly easily. I just wanted to ask you if there are any particular vocal exercises that you might recommend for someone like me (who has a diminished lung capacity) in order to get a strong, powerful sounds?
Because, like, I am capable of grasping the actual notes of this vocal riff (I can whistle the whole thing up to speed lol), but when I go to try and sing it, I just feel like my personal physiological situation kinda holds me back from being where I'd like to be. Also the part at around 2:04 in the song when he does that totally flawless transition from falsetto/head voice into his powerful chest voice feels like an impossible task for me to ever even get close to achieving lol. So yeah, what would you recommend to someone like me?
Thanks for your hard work, and just know that it is absolutely appreciated by many, many folks out there!
You can ask all of your singing related questions over on my free singing forum forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
Ken you are actually still sounding better yourself ..!
Trying to figure out how not to strain singing high notes. You make it look so easy. Will need to check out more of your videos. Thank you for this video.
Finally! I've requested that you did some Stapleton several times on your forum (which is great by the way, everyone remotely interested in singing should take your course). Thanks chief!
And here I am, finally taking your advice and all of the others who have been chanting "Stapleton! Stapleton! Stapleton!" Chris really is a singer with some swagger and style that makes him a very interesting and compelling singer. Keep making good suggestions, and especially KEEP SINGING! Thanks for buying and recommending my course. People see so much hype about singing programs that are nothing more than internet marketing campaigns that they get the idea that mine is like all of those. As you know, it's not at all like the others. It's what everybody is looking for, but they keep getting suckered by the marketers with empty promises. Where are all of the whole song demonstrations of all different genres from these other "vocal coaches?"
Hang in there and keep learning!
Thanks for the lick man. Not many people would explain these licks. Very helpful
I've been intermittently working on this lick in the shower for about a year now... haha! It's so insanely difficult to get the hang of. The arpeggios pass very quickly. Feels great once you get it down!!! Glad to see a video on this exact lick which I found/find fascinating!
Glad to be of help to you, Wilwen! 😊
Ken, as always, you are the man. Your voice is as smooth as Tennessee whiskey!!
The jompson brothers and the steeldrivers are badass bands he was in, he turns any song into gold. I can't believe he didn't get huge with those bands.
They totally rock, and so does Chris!
Hi Ken, similar guy Chris Klafford, love to see you take a look at him.
I need to figure out how to get that speed! I always sound so choppy =(
Repetition until it starts feeling easier. You'll have to keep increasing the speed a little at a time. Try to go faster than the normal speed and it will seem easier.
Wow I thought the same thing about how it was similar to Sam Cooke’s style Ken!
Ya know Ken, alot of people recent are doing this sort of vocal coaching thing on youtube. I must say your charisma and charm and jubilance is quite singular. Im always so happy to hear your intro and the genuine, unmistakable passion and love you have for music, solely in how happy you are to be discussing it. I love this channel. Great stuff. Im not a singer and still havent got the riff down yet. Let alone at top speed, but with your help i can improve everyday! Much love Ken!
Dude your the man 🤟 your voice is amazing .. I do that and all the dogs in the hood start singing with me hahah 🤘
I've never felt the need to call another man's voice beautiful but damn bro the change in your talking and singing voice is fucking crazy
Thanks.
Thanks for this, esp the way you broke that down. Great teacher!
You're welcome, tropicgal55!😊
4:24 training 😅
Can you make a video where you do it slow like five times in a row before you start speeding up 😭
That's what my course is for. 😊
Liv, put your playback speed on 50% slower and then just keep replaying the section! It helps a bunch!
Your so talented! You're a musician and a teacher!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing The Jompson Brothers. I will now add their music to my daily listening list.
And Sam Cooke
Wonderful!
Now I just need the lessons to let me sing that falsetto A with ease 😖
Hi sir I don't understand that which kind of Exrsize at time
Does it help to sing things in falsetto first?
You are .... brilliant! I am a singer and would love to follow in your footsteps!
Thanks, Golda! I'm glad you are here! 😊
Thank you. When practicing this I first had to count the notes to make sure I got them all. :-)
One of my best internet buds right here.
We can be share smiles from different parts of the world within seconds! How did you do with the vocal lick, Douglas?😊
Awesome man you should try Steve Perry's song missing you
beverly bennet- Good suggestion!
thanks , but you cut it to fast , too short, before the peace out stuff.
I'm here for this run....
Rock on!
I'm a Beginner how can I sing that link is it really just practice?
RipCityOnTheyAss 503 Perfect practice.
Thx for notating the notes on the screen, notice that in the KTVA vol 2 course vids too, great help.
I try to make a mental picture of the note(s), and of course when practicing its easier to do if you know what the note is.
Can you plz do a vid on the evils and virtues of great/perfect pitch... explain how your command of, and ability to identify pitch correctly will enrich and burden ones musical journey at the same time?
Thanks for the thoughtful request, Richard!
Awesome Ken, thank you. I'm learning this lick on guitar, isn't there a C natural in there towards the end though?
Thanks for the tutorial, Willie Nelson! Say hi to Ken from all of us! :D
I reckon I will!
Hopefully one day I know how to sing . :) // Nice video
Yes, you can learn to sing, Emo! Keep watching my videos! 😊
What a voice...well done, Ken!!! *
Thank you, Shauna Marie! 😊
I’m like a howling dog.. 😢
Thank you sooo much!! It was so difficult for me 😅😅😅
You're welcome 😊
Thank you so much ! I could not break this one down for some reason!
Are you explaining the high harmony part? Maybe you are singing Chris's part an octave up?? I don't hear him singing it that high.

Thanks, Mitch!
What an awesome lesson👍 thank you😊
Hey ken Deena here ...I happen to have wrote this song and two albums of music he got from my man in 2008. Timothy Julian. Recorded in Nashville at sparks studio...I am the traveler... I've got three hundred songs out. Made many careers.... I payed it forward. And say something I wrote as well . Justin played Napster in the movie and in an interview he said say something so I wrote a song about that statement.
Hi, Deena! You are one wonderful songwriter! For some reason, Google says that David Allan Coe, Linda Hargrove, and Dean Dillon are the writers for the song that came out in 1983 from George Jones. What's up with that?
Hello!!!! Can I ask you a question.?
This really always bothers me and it let me realize that I think I can't sing already, at my age of 9-13 I have a real female voice even though I'm a boy. And now I am on my puberty stage,,,im already 15 years old......and I have an adams apple........can I still sing better even though I have an Adams Apple? Or does adams apple affects my voice?
Most males will have a more prominent adams apple (Larynx) as they mature. You're just growing, that's all. The larynx is a cartilage structure, and your vocal cords are within it. You may lose the feminine sound of your voice, or you may retain it. Time will tell where you will land. It's good for you to keep singing and exercising your voice as you continue through your changes.
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy you're really the best! Now I have new inspiration because of what you just said! Thank you very much!😁😀
Hey Ken...please make a video singing this whole song
heyy sir.....i love your videos and i have a request....can u please make a video on how to sing for boys going through puberty....while singing at some place it sounds like donkey....it would be helpful for me...:) thank you
Sahilz Subba- Thanks for the suggestion!
i just started with kens basic lessons. wow i am learning so much in a short time
John Perricone- I'm delighted to hear that!
Heya Ken! How about looking into Richie Kotzen? An amazing voice and musician check out his new song and video "damned"
We might actually be doing a tutorial with Richie himself on this soon
SingingLessonsINC oh wooow!!! That would be soooo awesome!!!!!
Hi Ken, I have a question. In case you can respond, thank you.
how do we know we ate doing the correct note?
You have to develop the skill to actively listen AS we sing and to compare our sound to the sound of accompanying instruments, the notes before, the notes coming up, and the note we are presently on. We use our ears and our mind, in addition to our voice.
You left out the final E before the C#
I’d love to have a conversation with this guy, dope personality
Would be fun!
Hello Mr Templin, I admire you a lot, my favorite genre is Power Metal and those are pretty neat high voices, one of my favorite singers are Tommy Reinxeed (Reinxeed, Sabaton, Golden Resurrection) and Daniel Heymann (Lost Horizon), it would be amazing you try or not try but instruct us on Heymann, I tried to sing his "Think not forever" and I can sing most of the song but not his opening scream and the first "When you find you truly believe, You should follow your spirit as your guide"...I would love to hear you sing as he does hoho I'm asking to much to much and you prolly wont even read this hahaha
Thanks, argenis!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy thanx to you and how humble you are despite you talent...Blessings
M shadows next?
Thanks for the suggestion, An Account!
All love vocal academy!
If everyone has the how to sing better than everyone else singing course, can we really ever sing better than everyone else?
It then becomes how all of us sound better than everyone else! 😎😎😎😎😎
Wow, totally swag! 👍
Thanks, Notjo! 😊
Ken I feel like every time I try to sing I don’t have enough bass in my voice and it just feels like air coming out rather than power or anything loud enough to sound all that great. I’m not trying to scream to the heavens with my music but just something to put a little more bass to my voice would be great.
Thanks for your awesome vids
You probably aren't using enough cord closure on those high notes. But be careful. You can't use that much volume, either.
Oh wow, I DEFINITELY hear Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come in this!! Wow! 🎼”You’re as warrrrrrm...” = 🎼”I was borrrrrrrn....” and then the “Ohohohohoh” with half tone modulations up and down... Wow... Good ear!!
Well hey if you could ever do a video on how to sing A Change Is Gonna Come, I’d be ecstatic! Its probably one of my top 10 all time fave songs... Although I guess I don’t know if it’d be worth making a whole video on it if its so similar to this one? I’m sure you know though hehe ✌️😎
Thanks for your kind comments, and request, beccawecca916! 😊
2:48
3:13
3:26
4:23
Wow, perfect! Chris Stapleton's voice reminds me of Mac Powell from Third Day for some reason.
He also was great with steel drivers
Could you and I do like a paid zoom lesson sometime lol. I need to perfect this and surprise the band
Yes. kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
I’m a soldier in the US Army and I’m getting out to spend time with my family I think I have a potentially good voice. I want to make folks cry when I play and sing
Thank you for your service, OtherworldlyASMR! And go for it!
Thanks a lot for breaking this down. The slide from the mixed voice to head voice and back is tricky. It seems so effortless.
My pleasure!
Please make "how to sing like Sully Erna (Godsmack) it`s really hard .Thanks
Thanks for the request, devaorer!
Your awesome, man.
You too!
Ken, you never cease to amaze me!!! You are a great teacher and you walk the walk! Keep putting this information out. 😎
Great teacher.
Great exercise Mr. Ken Tamplin! I sung it with you..and will for sure do it i meny times...!
oses140- Great!
Ken thanks for the class , like enabled !
See you in the future
You're welcome, Altermar! See you next time! 😊
This is awesome. definitely subscribing. I can't sing that key though. I'm not sure how to figure out what a "good" key for me is.
Cool. Thank you so much for subscribing! You might try it in G. G and A minor would be the chords. That's a full-step lower. Or F and G minor would be another step lower.
Chris Stapleton is a very smart guy. I wish that Etta James was still around to call him out for stealing the lick from I'd Rather Go Blind ;)
Mike Grialou 👍
awesome Ken! was wondering if you could ever do a video on vocal tips to artists like Richie Kotzen or Ian Thornley of Big Wreck band? thanks Ken!
JAXON MITCHUM- I just may.
