Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I want to go ahead and do a vocal coach
reacts to Gary Clark Jr. and the song is called "Come Together". I know it's from a
movie soundtrack it's on the Howard Stern Sirius/XM. Howard's really put together
some interesting talent and I love these guys so let's just..I love Gary let's
you know check this out. Here we go.
It's so psychedelic that's really cool. They even got that (sounds) kind of over
compressed psychedelic sound in it. Kind of reminds me a little bit of like if
Lenny Kravitz would have done something like that maybe people won't appreciate
me saying that but it's true. Alright let's continue here we go.
Love that (sounds) kind of sounding vocal.
Could you hear Lenny Kravitz doing this. I can.
Now for my singing friends out there you know Gary has uses a different
kind of vocals. I mean (sings)
you know he uses, he expunges a lot air expels a lot of air and that's a sound
that's usually happens from singing a lot and that's actually dysphonia. That's
the chords starting to split and separate. So while it's a cool tone, it's
not a healthy tone. Not to say that you can't get that healthfully if you understand
how to do it and then come back and rebuild the voice to a bright.. that
bright ping we always talk about. It's the la ah that real bright sound to mend
the chords back together and put some good moisture and elasticity back in the
chord but nonetheless the song it's perfect for this kind of song and it's
his his vocal style so I'm not trying to take away from that but I wanted to
explain the vocal health involved in that as well.
So psychedelic.
Garage Bandy.
Now for you instrumentalists out there you know he's playing an SG I used to
have an SG too a long time ago and that guitar can do a lot of different sounds.
Les Paul's are pretty thick and they're pretty fat and have a lot of sustain to
them but you know you can have somebody like Gary playing an SG and have it
sound like that and then you can have something like Angus Young or Malcolm or
you know from AC/DC or someone else have a completely different sound. So this
one's like really overdriven and really psychedelic whereas AC/DC is really
tight and crunchy but that guitar can do all kinds of different sounds so it's
pretty cool.
Cool.
That was fun.
Yeah that was cool he had a lot of emotion, a
lot of passion in that you know and he you can tell that it's not just a cover
song to him like he made it his own. Like I said it's like reminds me Lenny
Kravitz though I don't mean to keep emphasizing that but had that kind of vibe to it so.
