Hey everybody welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I got quite a few requests to do some
Bollywood. Hooray for Bollywood and you know it's kind of a bummer because like some
of the people were saying hey man can you make fun of Bollywood it's so funky you
know whatever and then I got some sincere things. Hey man can you rep
represent some Indian music, some commercial Indian music from Bollywood
and I thought sure why not I love Indian food
it's one of my favorite foods that and Thai food and Italian food of course but
anyway I want to emphasize a couple things. The first thing is is that you
know for all you guys out there they're making fun of this stuff, that's pretty
lame because music is universal and it's a language that's so international
we can speak it and just because it's not the way that their language is
language is different than our language that we make fun of it. So we always seem
to make fun of things we don't understand and I think I'd like to
clarify that and maybe rectify some of that as we go through this. This we got a
lot of different songs thrown out so I just took the one that was the most
requested out of all of them. I'm gonna read the title first and yes I have to
wear some glasses these days guys so I apologize if I'm butcher this but anyway
here goes nothing the song is I haven't seen this yet so it's called "Kinna
Sona" video Marjaavaan Sidharth M, Tara S Meet Bros, Kumaar, Jubin N,Dhvani
Bhanushali sorry correct me guys put it in there phonetically so we can all
understand what that was. Anyways so and I see the thumbnail up front it's
some handsome guy holding a string probably a balloon and a kid in the back
so. I'm just gonna dive right in here we go.
Kind of almost sounded like German -Indian or something. (sounds)
Anyway sorry for my German friends out there at least
we can laugh on this together right. So okay so it is very Hollywood, very
Bollywood. You got the handsome guy, you got the beautiful girl. They're already
making eye contact it's obviously a love story. Kind of reminds me of maybe a soap
opera from American soap opera from the 70s or something and let's let's keep
going. Oh and the instruments so far have just been an accordion this best..and some
clapping stuff so.
I want one.
A lot of autotune.
She's pretty.
So she gave him the slit throat sign. I hope that means something
different in Hindi or in Indian than it does in English so.
They make a beautiful couple.
Ok so I'm assuming it's gonna go to a chorus or something in a second. Before
we do anything guys. Alright so for all you guys that make
fun of stuff out there if.. what if I came to you let me get my guitar here
for a second. Hopefully it's in tune. Okay and that's what in like G sharp yeah G
sharp minor and then probably C minor, C sharp minor 7 yeah okay. So it's G sharp
minor 7, C sharp minor 7 and then he did some
turnaround that was F and then he went to e-flat minor yeah okay alright. So
alright let's pretend I just came to you guys and I said hey man I got this
new song I'm want you hear it and I went.
Okay and that's basically it and I came
(sings)
You know I'm making up
words and making a melody right or not making it up. I'm kind of along the same
lines of what they're doing. You'd go hey Ken that's kind of cool you
know. It's kind of alright right. Now what if I added some groove to it like they
have so but I..now Indian music is a lot like flamenco music at least the
harmonic and melodic minor structures and I'll explain what that means in a
minute. It's just the the way a lot of the scales are and the way they sing them.
Now of course if I go.
Right and I started doing that you'd be kind of like okay so it's Indian music and then
you might throw the baby out with the bathwater which is kind of lame but the
progression is pretty common, it's pretty cool and the melody is pretty cool. So
I'm gonna play this whole thing over and I want to play guitar on top of it and
see if it changes the feeling for you and how we view the song all right so.
At the top again here we go.
Right it's different.
Ok here's the chorus I haven't heard this yet so.
Okay so the chorus is different so the chorus goes
right so ok let's say I
came to you on that other, that other section was kind of cool. It was kind of a
John Mayer thing like.
So all right so let's let's say for a second I bring in this song and I go.
Right you'd think ok it's kind of cool. So what the only thing different is cause
it's sung on an accordion. I mean.
You know and I'm kind of maybe wiggling my voice a little bit.
I don't know it's pretty catchy if you ask me and the chorus was pretty catchy
too. So I'm gonna pa.. I'm gonna back this up one more time and I'm just gonna
kind of play some flamenco licks to it and see what it sounds like if we
embellish it one more time. So all the way from the top here we go. One more
time. Thank you for humoring me but I I think like I said it's cosmopolitan, it's
very universal. I could.. fact I get the feeling like if a
smart DJ you know or club guy, club mix guy would grab a song like this. Like
pop kinda reminds a pop up Americano right, a little bit grab some
international flavor that, westernize it. It probably would be a hit right. So
let's do this again here we go.
And by the way Greek bouzouki music is like this too, Greek music.
Here we go.
See that's what I'm talking about so. So you can go um
Like that. You can add like passing tones in it it and sounds really
cool. So anyway I think this is coming close to the end.
I like this stuff. I think it's cool man.
It might be like nouveau flamenco.
Anyway that was rocking man so hey my Indian friends. Thank you for turning me
on to this. It was really catchy and really cool. For you guys out there hopefully we
all were enlightened and we got to enjoy something maybe wouldn't normally enjoy
and God bless all you guys. I have a singing course it has nothing to do
with all the guitar playing I did but I have a singing course it's called How to
Sing Better Than Anyone Else and we talk about all these different styles and we
negotiate and figure this stuff out. Were the vocals that remarkable no but
they're.. they fit the music which was really cool. Again it was pretty heavily
auto-tune but the song was pretty doggone catchy man
(sings)
tell me that when you walk away
from this video if you don't listen to any more music, if that video or
excuse me that melody doesn't stick in your head cause it's pretty catchy. Anyway
thanks again for joining me God bless you guys and until next time peace out.
