Gas House Gang Brother Can You Spare A Dime

[XanderGraham3262]

Does anyone know which arrangment this is??

[atteheikkinen]

@XanderGraham3262 David Wright, the harder one of his two Buddy arrangements.

[pkingsleyisback]

whats nice about these guys is they come from a time where cell phones didnt have video cameras, so all the videos are really nice :)

[BardOfXiix]

I love this song, and these guys do an amazing job on it. Their bass captures the emotions behind this song so well.

[badspeelar]

Hehehe check out those haircuts!!!

Excellent!

[Harrison0093]

the bass voice is amazing :)

[lardmonk]

awesome but what are they wearing?

[nwmusic06]

lol it was the 90's remember?

[fallsdeep]

Perfect, almost made me cry

[MedicalExaminersRule]

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.

[herweyer]

Is this a custom arrangement? How would one go about finding this song on sheet music?

[Hemicudap]

Google David Wright arrangements.

[Hemicudap]

what's the chord on "pal" there, Jim on E above middle C, Rich on a High G, Kipp on the High B flat, and Rob on the very High C

[pelza12]

C7. Such a great chord, especially when sung by GHG.

[Hemicudap]

thanks

[pelza12]

Did you figure out the notes by ear? If so that's pretty good!

[Hemicudap]

Yes I did, i've had this for a while. The guys in my quartet always kid me about it.

[Hemicudap]

Yes, i've had this ability for a long time, my old choral directors would kid me about it. My chorus and quartet always kid me about it, call me a ptichpipe.

[pelza12]

That's a good skill to have! I have to concentrate to be right otherwise I'm like a half-step off.

[Hemicudap]

Everyone's ear is different, and process sounds at different speeds

[cris001kay]

I'm sorry to disapoint you Hemicudap, but the chord is an E minor dim 7. ie. E, G, B and C#. I got perf pitch...

Not tryin to be funny by the way.

[Hemicudap]

Very good man, you got me. I completely missed it. Good ear.

[Hemicudap]

However, it still sounds like a C to me. It also sounds like the C on my pitch pipe, and my piano-but my theory is basically non-existent (I'm no authority). That's just what I heard when I first asked the question-I guess my perfectness isn't so perfect...

[mattdre88]

Are you sure it's not a half diminished C# in first inversion?

[jibcraip]

hmm sorry it's not E minor dim7 ! Tome it sounds like a Ab7 9 with bass on the Fifth which goes (from bottom to top) :

Eb (5th) / Gb (min7th) / Bb (9th) / C (3rd)

=)

[brockjarrett789]

@jibcraip Are you talking about "pal"? If so, it's a Cm7(b5)...

[jibcraip]

@brockjarrett789 yeah...I hear it as a Ab9/Eb but same notes as Cm7b5/Eb or even a Ebm6 =)

[brockjarrett789]

@jibcraip Oh you're right. I'm just so used to spelling it Cm7(b5) from school lol.

[cardangel16]

@brockjarrett789

...which is a fully diminished chord....lol.

[brockjarrett789]

@cardangel16

It doesn't have the diminished seventh so it's a half-diminished chord.

[purebanana]

their audience is hilarious. one lady's like checking her drink, one guys like looking off into space. god...

2:39-2:45 my jaw was on the floor.

[strangkille]

They are good...but what the hell are they wearing?!?

[wdstick]

Looks like bin bags.

[wolwerone]

[wdstick]

Ooohh... goosebumps...

[stevierayV576]

[wdstick]

Litrally pound for pound? So if they lost weight they'd be even better, comparitively?

[chumbley1]

Great job from these guys as usual. One of the best barbershop quartets the business has ever seen and will ever see.......
