  • @vegardsand532
    @vegardsand532 10 лет назад +2

    Actually, there's a wrong note on 0:37 You have an F there, but it's really F# :p But other than that, really great! Did you use your ear to pick out each voice? Or did you find the sheet music first?

    • @BenCulture
      @BenCulture 9 лет назад +5

      You sure about that?
      First of all, there _is not either_ supposed to be a G-flat there (the song's in E-flat minor, so we call F# "Gb"). There IS an F natural as the harmonies run through Abmaj, Bbmaj, Eb/Db, Ab/C, and so on. There are F and G naturals in the first two measures of that sequence. Gb doesn't occur until the third measure.
      Secondly, what happens at 0:37 is a repeat of the sequence at 0:14. Are you saying he's wrong both times? 'Cause he sounds _right_ both times to me. I don't have "perfect pitch", but I have damn good relative pitch AND the sheet music book. Which is one of the better ones ever published by any artist. I may not know when a singer's a few "cents" sharp or flat, but I know a completely wrong note when I hear it.

  • @BenCulture
    @BenCulture 9 лет назад +1

    _Really_ impressive, Robby Gotshall I didn't even miss the instruments, except maybe during "Gee" a little bit. I have an important question about "Our Prayer": The sheet music book transcribes the piece as if there are only four individual vocal parts. True? I notice there are 12 of you in this scene. Are you triple-tracking your vocals, or are you singing more than four parts? Trying to sing it myself isn't really an option, but when I fumble through the arrangement on piano, it sounds pretty much right with four voices.

    • @NiennaT
      @NiennaT 6 лет назад

      4 voices are the minimum, but if you want it to sound like the originals, double or triple the vocals as Brian Wilson did.
