    Even if I am not a singer but an instrumentalist, I found this amazing. I admit I would never be able to listen and understand completely the complementary voices in this tune if they weren´t presented isolated so clearly and well executed like this guy did. Obviously an extremely talented singer to cover such vocal range so perfectly. Liked and greetings from Argentina.

    this is great. ive been singing backing on this for years but never realised i was mixing some of the parts up. This song has gained massive popularity with choirs recently, id love to hear your take about how to arrange it for a big gospel choir.

  • @nickholland6537
    @nickholland6537 6 лет назад +26

    I must have watched this 100 times over the years. It’s a great song and a flawless breakdown of the song. It’s deceptively complex and has parts that, individually, seem out of place but all mixed together they are wonderful.
    It’s an old clip but it’s fantastic and makes me appreciate the song even more. I’ve loved this since I was a kid and it’s just a shame that I don’t have your talent as I’ll just have to hum it instead of singing it!

    Though that chord on "down" is indeed lush, I think the one two notes later on "Aa" (of Africa) makes me giddy with delight, as I know it'll be resolved imminently and it's just so rich. Thank you immensely for this. Several parts are so close it's been impossible for me to distinguish. TOP WORK!

      ‼️❤️‼️ thanks to you I’ve attempted bohemian rhapsody, Barbara Ann, and it’s my life!!
      And more… other beach boys and songs like sloopy and more … Songs that I wouldn’t have ever thought of in this way before but now I hear completely differently it’s the wonderful gift you have shared… The song locomotion ha ha that one too
      you’ve gifted and inspired and motivated me to new unlocked potential and goals thank you so much ,,, I’m spreading the word about it/you, too!

    • @hautewire
      @hautewire 5 лет назад

      Oh yes and thanks to you I also gave ago at this song… I sing on Smule. A lot. And I have a lot of people internationally that I interact with and we’ll take it very seriously is a huge part of our lives… I forgot that when I was nine years old I saw Toto live he open for Tiffany ha ha but I didn’t really know who he was then. I was going to start this song from scratch and follow your instructions but I didn’t quite get there instead I found a woman who had started a duet and had left the main track open so I sang that.
      My voice is pretty high actually although I have a pretty wide range I found some testing… Also funny story because I’ve been doing Barbara Ann when I start new parts and within those parts when the pieces within the song repeat I tend to go up and up and up higher it’s really funny I think I wonder where it would end up at this song was longer I have to warn people to lock the dogs up ha ha Ha
      Ciao
      Oh and lastly PS I love your Italian accent! One woman I have a friend of mine through the Internet and singing has an Italian accent and also speaks French both better than her English and I instantly knew you were Italian from the moment you were speaking… I found your first pen Bohemian Rhapsody and the song is still open for seven more days I’ve already recorded probably about 10 or more times on it. There’s also maybe 20 other people it’s pretty cool.
