 This is a real sweet one. We've been doing forever In our band the Fall Corn Stream Band Caleb sings the melody of this but Nidian has always sung this Sorry playing with us whatever but it's green ones. It doesn't have like a different melody on the chorus or anything It's just like the same And we like to teach it because The words are really easy and we don't need to bother making full of coffee It's really clear the way Same with occasion music we play you think about it, you know Playing for an audience of people dancing around and you're trying to cut above everything Music that existed before electricity That in the back of your mind finding the right key and To just sound as loud as possible Sounds obnoxious to say What it is like the case and songs do like I am like well, I'm imagining as if I'm singing over people drinking laughing fighting everything So that way you can just like Try them different keys some because when you're learning a song It seems like you tend to learn it a little bit lower than when you think you're capable Which is okay But then once you have all the notes of the melody and all the words down and feel more comfortable It's really not uncommon to be able to bump it a few keys up and be like, oh wow The volume just doubled. Yeah, I feel like it wasn't this song Like yeah, and to just try to figure out like where in your body does the song the sound I feel like I did like when I sing like that and sing a song at that range. I feel like I did like a hundred sit-ups I don't know listen to the Stanley brothers listen to Ralph get some of those high harmonies. It's like so amazing But yeah, we in Foghorn we played a tune in one time we played a tune for 15 years probably and Caleb always sang it in G and Then we were kind of making a set list and I think my fiddle was maybe an a we're playing a really big show It was gonna be some great video footage. We're gonna get you know, it's a couple years ago and Like I wish you'd start with that. I'm like both my fiddles and he's like I think I can do it And it was like the coolest thing ever it was just like Sword it was like everyone's harmony is just kind of locked in a place, but we have been performing and playing it for Probably 15 years before that lower. It's just kind of it. It's like it's not a Set in stone thing and sometimes, you know, you play on a Sunday morning at you know after a weekend at a festival Sometimes you got to do the opposite We're the key of G I'm gonna key of G because it works quite nicely I think for Most people's range isn't and first step of learning harmony singing is just to be really really solid with the melody Harmony three-part harmony then the rules are gonna go as follow We're never gonna be singing the same note and we're always gonna follow the direction that is going so it's going up And then we're gonna cross Yeah, just to have a visual visual landscape of if you're going up or down and then What we're achieving? multiple people Vocal harmony the magical thing about it, but we can't do it alone. We need other people to do it with us And what we're creating is chords Because I don't know maybe some of you have done like choir singing and stuff where you'll use the same terminology that we do but it means completely different things where we're gonna use Something called a melody something called a tenor in the baritone and those baritone and tenor Don't mean your vocal range, but mean the relationship with the melody What there's different stacking too? So what we're gonna do is we're gonna put the melody in the middle and the harmony that's right above The melody is called a tenor and the one that's right below It's called a baritone. So now we have like a sandwich melody But we can have different stacking where we'll take let's say the melody on top If you if your singer has like a really high voice then right below will be the tenor All right, you will be the baritone and instead of having the tenor on top We're gonna put all the way down an octave and call it a low tenor So we'll have that stacking and if opposite your melody is really low Then right above will be your tenor, but we'll take the baritone and bump it an octave above So we'll have a high baritone. So those are the three stacking Yeah, I do a lot of low tenor parts like I'm doing dual stuff with cable lock because his voice is a lot higher than mine And I do probably a lot of high baritone with you So This song's in G so I'll go pretty high We'll start on either the first third or fifth note of the scale So start sliding up until it sounds good because it's gonna sound really horrible for a long time I know People lower voices might want to do I mean, we're we're still working out little quirks on songs We've done for almost 15 years together, you know, I'm like actually learn together, but like wait, I think actually that's You know, you can help be helpful to To have an instrument in hand like I know the next available note is gonna be Let's just separate on half here. We'll do the tenor melody over there, and then we'll switch around There's one verse that's Really fast through that because it takes more than an hour to I've had people reading my dad because they're like Way more really good harmony It's a quest of a lifetime Slightly different Doesn't get invited to all of her Super awesome when he comes to the party comes less often, but melody comes and tenor are like maybe call each other I find that their tone By definition like its role is well taking all the notes that I've not been taking by the melody and the tenor But also has way less movement and it's Way less intuitive. Yeah, it's like sounds like it's own melodic. It's own melody And it's not easy and it's not as much movement as we think and it also Ends on the note. It's like it doesn't end on the note that we think it does because those notes are already taken by the Then work on there's so many times so it just goes and completes the chord and such a warm blanket He kind of way There's so we were learning something recently and I was so certain like I had this baritone part just like nailed and then our body came over He was doing the tenor part and I sang my part and I had to relearn like half of the phrases cuz I was doing a little tenor It's just so much more to meet the low tenor, but then but it's very challenging. It's a lot of fun doing that kind of work Maybe we'll do it lower. So here's how it sounds. Well, here's the melody, you know Should I sing the melody and using yeah, I'll sing the melody and everyone else do the whether it's low baritone So to be the highest but all of a sudden In this case because we're doing a different stacking where the melodies on the bottom the tenor starts here Melody tenor melody here You said the baritone is different Relation to the note is a different like melody Well, it just moves less for some reason like I cannot explain All the different notes that the melody has open the left over one Doesn't a move as much. Okay, it's just how it works in the scale So that makes it kind of less intuitive because you want to move more Melody The rhythm Okay, melody here Well, you'd be just repeating any of the notes just like the base part Like the base part would do like a little bit of everything just like with the least amount of movement My own So the bass is taking a little bit of like oh, I like this note Yeah, exactly How about we just pick the part that we In love with and we get up and we're all gonna walk around and sing it all together And I'll sing the verses And walk around You know, so you don't just sing the whole time Probably after this course if the song has like a verse chorus gonna vibe them We first core like an intro instrument of intro first chorus solo Give you a last chorus Repeat the last line But not like In Well, they do more like solos were like Like the fiddle like if there's a pedal steal the pedal so we'll go first then the fiddle and finish with the accordion the accordion senses like Self-proclaimed king Wow They can play like both the two parts of the tune Yeah, and then this one's a little different because it the verse and the chorus are exactly the same melody but if that's not the case like like in kitchen music, it'll be like the A part B part but then the you'll Like you'll sing the melody will be over the A part, but then the instrument will start with the A part So that's that's not the case Yeah, a lot of times Usually the chorus will be and this one was kind of more than a bluegrass. So like You ready to dance? That's my question
