awesome awesome awesome!

may i just ask, what CAMERA are you using?

[AllYouNeedIsLub]

@MrShayOfer Thanks! It's just a consumer-grade Canon (records to miniDV tape).

This awesome dude. Thanks to this video breakdown, we will be confidently covering it at our next show. Please check out songs on our page if you get a chance, as well!

[AllYouNeedIsLub]

@MetricSystemCLT Happy to help! I checked out some of the songs on your page. Good stuff!

Really helped when my band covered this. It's good to hear the individual parts. 3-part harmony is a staple of our music, but these ones are quite awkward, especially when they overlap each other! I'll send you a video when we do it live.

@MacGregor88 Glad I could be of help. Looking forward to checking out your video.

I would thank you if you could do a harmony breakdown of "Nowhere Man" :)

[AllYouNeedIsLub]

@Abra110ham Glad you noticed that. I did that because I don't have the names on screen in my video of the full song, but I wanted to do something visual to differentiate between the different harmony parts (otherwise, it would just look like 9 guys singing).

WOOOOWW what an amazing job!!!!! may I please PLEASE use this to sing and record it?? I sing covers and I wanted to do "Because" and I found your video! Cheers from Chile!

[oOsprinklesOo]

dear god, thank you so much for this video. i could always sing John and Paul's parts, but George's part is hard to spot, but i KNEW there had to be a third harmony...

[cristianolesco]

@gerchuvox012 See on a channel called imcarrying, there's this harmony and many others

[MetricSystemCLT]

@AllYouNeedIsLub Thank you!

It was really hard to pick out George's harmony in this as its somewhat buried in the mix with Paul's & John's dominating. I always thought George had the harder of all the harmonies in most of the 3 part harmony songs as he acted as a pedal tone in a lot of them.

[RocktheStageNYC]

Love that you did this as recorded - each voice is triple tracked.

[sjpw62]

that is so awesome. Well done.

[neilplumley]
