Link me to one of your tracks or demos that you've created harmony, I want to hear them ↓

Really nice the way you brokedown the theory. But I see that in the example you took you say that the melody starts on D# and the Harmony starts on G# . That is confusing because the interval is of 4 notes between D# to G# isn’t it ? Am I missing something? Please clear my doubt.

I think it's E G#, B!

I look at singing harmony this way: pinpoint a note in the melody, then find a note to sing that sounds good with that melody note and which also sounds good with the underlying chord. In the Beatles Nowhere Man, John sings the melody line, starting with the b note, "He's...". The underlying chord is E major. This b note is the 5 note in the E major chord. The root or 1 note of E major is the e note which Paul sings. This e note is above the b note (high harmony). The 3 note of E major is g# which George sings. This g# note is below the b note (low harmony). So in this 3 part harmony, basically John, Paul and George are simply singing the notes of an inversion of the E major chord at the start of Nowhere Man.

You rock! How come harmony was never explained to me in such as an easy manner? Great teaching and talent, Charles. Thanks!

Been trying to do this for years, I just don't hear the harmony in my head when I sing with someone

This is a great video that opens the door to music theory. The chart you showed is a massive cheat sheet to understanding keys, chord structure, triads in both major and minor (flat the third) leading into modes and down the rabbit hole to more advanced concepts. Great lesson and congrats on 100K.

Thanks a lot dude, I appreciate that! I agree, this chart was a gam changer for me.

I can sometimes harmonize when I sing higher, like falsetto. I would like to sing bass/ baritone harmonies, and come in under the other voices I'm singing with. And I would like to sing harmony at will, like turning on/off a light switch.

I agree wholeheartedly! It can be more than a little overwhelming and frustrating to sing with those who seemingly have the ability to pick their parts out of thin air and never sing the wrong note. I think baritone is the most difficult voice to hear. Is there a typical interval it is above the bass in four part harmony, or a typical interval it is below the second tenor in three part harmony?

Thanks Charles! This is very helpful. I’ve been struggling with harmonies.

Fortunate that I found you via KZfaq . I've always loved the harmony of Simon and Garfunkel, Lennon and McCartney etc . Sound bite snippets of their work would help me wrap my brain around the lessons though . You provide a great companion piece to "McCartney 3, 2 ,1 " where he explains the 1,3,5 chord layout . Don't know if he got into the harmony question or not . But , I'm just learning . I'll follow you for sure . Thanks much for your efforts .

E, G#, and B for the key of E Major... not E, G# and A... like you said that multiple times. lol

@jakesmet9426 3 ай бұрын

However, that could be an A suspension, which IMHO is a reaaallly neat sounding chord that is occasionally used in many popular songs and melodies :-)

Great video and tips. As for me, I always think of the melody in the verses to Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock” to remember my major chord triad notes.

Great! Really great, nicely, simply put. Only thing, a few times at the beginning, you say E is made of e, g#, a. You meant b, or, h, as we say in Europe, not a.

That thing you are talking about (when you started talking about Mozart) is called an arpeggio. It's generally taught with scales.

lol! I’m sure he knows, but it was weird hearing him saying it multiple times. Actually he initially said he was going to play A major, but then played E, so I think his head was in a different place while he was doing it!

I have a low voice so I need to sing 1,3,5 an octave [or two] lower. Do you have any examples of this ?

@fidelogos7098 4 ай бұрын

I thought if you sang harmony you'd sing the first or third of the chord, with the melody being carried by the fifth. In the key of C, if the melody lands on a G natural, to harmonize, I'd sing an E or C. Am I being too simplistic?

Thanks for this. Are the harmony parts staying within the “chord” that’s playing or the “key” of the song?As the melody moves around and the 3rds and fifths added doesn’t this create new chords?

@CharlesCleyn Жыл бұрын

yes exactly

@paintmonster1 7 ай бұрын

Yes exactly? Well is it the chord being played or based on notes in key? Could you expand your answer for clarity. Thanks

One can learn to spell all the triads in about 20 minutes or less.

@stevenjaywalters 3 ай бұрын

I’m sure you have some good things to teach but repeatedly you stated that the triad of E was E ,G sharp and A! I’m sure this is confusing many people. I understand that this was a mistake, but you really should go back and fix this.

You also stated to "find the 3rd and then sing in parallel with the lead" but the example you gave was not moving in parallel with the melody. I want to share this with new vocalists, but the example doesn't demonstrate what you taught. You are clearly good at what you do, but I'd encourage you to demonstrate what you are teaching.
