What's up guys, this is Kurt and today we are gonna be answering yet
another question that no one has asked what if bad guy was by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
Actually... Who am I kidding? A lot of you asked for this on my "What if Senorita was by Billie Eilish" video?
So we're doing it today
Okay now I think I want to go with a little bit more of a Shawn Mendes vibe, and the reason is a lot of
Camila's tracks they're basically just pop music. I mean check this out:
Like that could be a song by Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato, I can't really pinpoint
what makes that Camila, but Shawn Mendes... he's got a style to him
Like you know, what a Shawn Mendes song sounds like so we're gonna go with that vibe featuring Camila Cabello, on those vocals
Okay. Now one thing that every Shawn Mendes song needs is stomping and clapping. A lot of it. Check this out:
Clapping 😂
Stomping
YEEEAAAA
Alright guys, let's get to it.
I am Shawn Mendes.
ShAWn MeNdEs.
Thank God there's no one below me.
Alright, guys, I think we got enough of that. Let's layer all those stomps and claps up and see what it sounds like.
Okay, I think that's a pretty good start.
Now of course because this is Shawn Mendes song we're gonna need some syncopated, offbeat acoustic guitars 🎸
And I'm gonna need to get that Shawn Mendes vibe.
ShAwN mEnDeS.
Now we have to completely forget about what the chords of bad guy are. We need to play Shawn Mendes chords
Okay, guys, it's sounding pretty good now let's add some of those Shawn Mendes steady palm-muting guitars those like
PA DA DA DA DA DA
I'll just play it.
Alright guys, so I ended up recording a bunch more guitars and I kind of switched the chords up in a few places
so it just kind of feels a little more Shawn Mendes. Like Shawn might start the pre-chorus or chorus with THIS CHORD like the four or the
sub dominant.
But Billy wouldn't do that. Billy would probably just keep it minor and keep it with like a similar groove the whole time.
I'm Shawn Mendes. All right, guys, let's hear how all that sounds.
Dis feel like Shawn to me.
That bad type make your mama sad type make your girlfriend mad tight might seduce your dad type...?? o.O
All right guys that's a pretty good start but we still need to add a bunch of stuff.
One of those things is I don't know if you've noticed this but almost every Shawn Mendes song has this electric guitar
that's just playing like one note. We need that.
When I play it I just want to I just wanna like shake my hair 😂
I don't think I have enough hair to play it quite like Shawn Mendes, but hopefully that sounds good. Okay
Now we need to add some more drums some more percussion and every Shawn Mendes song the percussion is really live
It really has this authentic feel. I think we need to add that so I'm gonna use my drum pad
Alright, I think that beats gonna sound really cool for the chorus and the drop but the verse needs to be a little bit simpler
Alright done with you. Thank you for your minimal contribution to this piece.
Guys, it's base time. I think Shawn would use a real bass and I think it's time we played a real instrument again
So let's do it. And yeah, my bass strap is definitely not made of duct tape, by the way.
Yeah, it's feeling like Shawn.
So you're a tough guy just can't get enough guy chest always so puffed guy.
That drop section is sounding Shawn Mendes, oh guys, I just got an idea
I wasn't sure what to do with the duh
Cuz that's totally not something that Shawn Mendes or Camilla would do but during that drop section
I'm just gonna have a Camilla style riff singing like
It can be this like epic echoey verby ''duh''
Which that reminds me singers are actually gonna get here pretty soon so we got to finish this up.
Okay something we still need to add in that drop section...
we need to add that bad guy Billy Eilish riff, you know, the one that goes BLuDA dADidA dA Da BLuDA dADidA di dA
I think let's take that and let's just like Shawn Mendesify it on piano
OOOO THAT SOUNDS SO GOOD
Okay, I layered that riff up with a guitar, let's hear how that whole drop section sounds
Okay, guys, I think the whole track is sounding really good
But we haven't done anything yet for that section at the end of bad guy where Billie Eilish just goes
FULL BILLIE EILISH
You know that part where she's like "I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone.'' The only counter to full Billie Eilish is
FULL SHAWN MENDES
Yeah, so we're just gonna get this wall of Shawn Mendes percussion, but I wanted to sound like there's just a group of people
shouting at you. Because that somehow it feels like Shawn Mendes to me. I don't mean that as an insult
I'm actually a huge Shawn Mendes fan
It's like a group of people that you want shouting at you shouting at you like like childhood. Just kidding. I had a great childhood.
Ok that maybe doesn't sound amazing with me, but that's why we got singers but speaking of singers
