*So*... I think the fact that Avery struggled to break down his own riff (singing it slowly) but then could *easily* do it when Natalie told him to just sing it fast in his own way, proves that the best riffers don't actually "think" when they're riffing and are mostly going off of feel. I love "Breaking Down the Riffs", but I hope singers who are serious about getting good at runs realize it's not always about technique but fine-tuning your ear and your ability to improvise.
The idea is to learn how to exactly reproduce others riffs. Cause usually when you sing your own, you don’t need any directions you just chose your own style and your own way to express yourself, but when you want to reproduce the same riffs of someone else, sometimes isn’t so easy. That’s it. It shouldn’t help you to improvise riffs
I struggle to understand why he isn't more famous. He's young, tall (I didn't know he was 6'4"), handsome, has a head full of hair, can sing like he made a deal with devil, and his personality seems authentic and kind and humble. What's going on?
I don’t want to answer this, because I don’t want people dragging me, or thinking that *I* think this, but I IMAGINE that why he isn’t more famous is because 1) he oversings too much (too many riffs/very churchy) 2) He’s a little zesty 3) he knows how good he is, and is therefore difficult to work with. These are just guesses and do not reflect MY opinions. 🤷🏻♂️
Nathan Achilles I was about to comment the same thing! That's like one of the most complicated riffs I've heard considering the fact there's a sustained G#5 at the end. 😱
Nathan Alan if you have an iPhone, I'm not sure if android has it but download an app called Anytune. And then choose the song from your phone. You have the ability to but the song in any key you want and to slow it down or speed it up however you want. When it gets to her runs, slow it down to the point where you can hear each note individually and just practice. After a little bit, it's very easy. Not complicated at all. I did this for a little less than a half hour and it's no problem anymore. Hope this help you and others on the thread!
Honestly, I wanted to call you out and say " nah....this way is fine too...whatchu know about singing bla bla..." but I just heard your cover of Never Enough by Loren Allred and I saw your vocal prowess and now I'm like "Yup...she can talk". I heard it before I found this video to be honest. You're a beast yourself.
Seni Joshua because she's 100% right. Most singers would agree that runs are mostly spontaneous and improvised (aka "word vomit" 😂). The fact that Avery struggled to break down his own riff but did it perfectly when Natalie told him to "just do it like how you do it" kind of proves that
awesome vid Natalie! u almost got the run - just practice that last section slow about 20 times, like very slow and ull prob have it. One of the hardest ever runs man. He is incredible. And so are you.
I almost lost my shit when I saw the thumbnail. A dream collab I had not even dreamed of. Loved it! Also thanks Natalie for being so unafraid to show that it's okay to make mistakes. Love you both. Still waiting for the day you'll both ascend to greater heights.
it's funny because i'm a guy and my comfortable singing range is in the third or fourth octave😂 Meanwhile I can't sing above the fifth octave which is just about until Air comes out of my throat😂😂
Chasidy Light Are you sure they come naturally? I thought riffs and runs can be taught because I have seen a few videos on RUclips about them being taught using the pentatonic scale.
this is one of those typical black gospel riffs its just one of those riffs black people just know how to do lmao in the history of breaking down the riffs ive never seen Natalie struggle with a riff
OMG! Thank you for coming back with BDTR!!! I'm pretty sure that I've watched every single past episode, and I have always craved more! 1. You are absolutely incredibly talented! And 2. There is humor in the episodes, which I appreciate! Keep up the great work! You're amazing!!!! ❤️
absolutely insane. when i first learned of avery, i've always wanted to see him break down his own runs. well done, nat! you've got some pipes yourself!!!
It would be an absolute dream come true if you did the riff from 3:42-4:01 in Ben Fankhauser's "To Kiss a Girl". The riff is just unreal and I know you would love it and it would be awesome for you to break it down on the show! Thanks!
It helps to sing this riff to not think too technically, if she just did it without worrying too much about being right, she probably would do it right.
Real Voice Some voices are just naturally more flexible than others. Natalie is extremely agile but she can't do every single riff. Hell, this the second time where she struggled to do a riff and that is fine.
Thank you for making such an entertaining video. It was really great seeing you collab with Avery like this. I know how hard it can be to break down one of your own riffs...and also how hard it can be to sing someone else's insane riff, haha. So I feel for both of you. But I think you guys did a great job and made a great video! Keep up the great content!
It's totally insane because both of you did such an amazing job. You are truely blessed by Jesus-Christ and are the proof that hard labour always brings success.
I'm glad for you to be back!!! I missed your videos! Lol. This is the hardest riff yet for sure....but it's definitely doable! Hope to see you do more in the near future!
When he did that riff at 2:08 i literally said to myself "i'm so done" i mean idk why singers like natalie and avery have me shook whenever they beautifully let their angelic voices soar.
Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing! This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Finally, an excellent "riff" vocal coach! And whoa... that riff is..... waaaaah! Am out of words! Loooooove this... and love you both! Teach me please? Haha! Subscribed immediately after watching this!
I’m learning to control my rifts and voice but lord this mans voice is amazing and so is yours ma’am thank you for this vid. This is helping me with my rifts!

No offense, but it was so comforting to see Natalie Weiss struggling with a riff.
Matthew Daniel Gordon Lol savage
Matthew Daniel Gordon lmao
Hahahaha right ?! Like she's human ! Lol cause she's literally flawless.
LOL it really was!!!
Matthew Daniel Gordon if u saw her tori Kelly pyt riff she struggled in that one too and I honestly loved it 😂
"sometimes you gotta loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose to win again": my motto for riffing
Lara 🤣❤️🌹🙌🏾
kkkk aí é mais fácil. Ksksk
I love how she broke down the riff but still can't do it! Adorable!
Hi, Ms Cheryl!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Ms Cheryl I love you!!!!!!❤️

I'm not even a singer, but I totally agree with the statement. I don't think the voice can always be ' structured'...
Wow, well said
Avery Wilson is a MASTER when it comes to doing riffs/runs
"I've been following him on vine, Instagram, to the grocery store" 😂😂😂
Did Teacher just become Student?!?! This is the first time I have ever seen Natalie Weiss struggle with vocals.
LittleJ1576 yup😂😂
LittleJ1576 because it is her student’s own riff so it’s understandable
@@leophrixain’t her student
he's just there like "Bi**h, you can't reverse-engineer soul"
raneanubis Bwahahahhaha hahaha yesssuhh!!!
FACTS!
omg he is sooooo....fine? Oh lord so gooooodddddd.
Andrea PTX you met ptx omg wth
WI FI hii yes I met them few times ☺
came for thirsty comment. not disappointed
So true. And with that voice! And SO TALL! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Andrea PTX thirsty 13 year olds.
I struggle to understand why he isn't more famous. He's young, tall (I didn't know he was 6'4"), handsome, has a head full of hair, can sing like he made a deal with devil, and his personality seems authentic and kind and humble. What's going on?

If Natalie herself struggling while doing it, how am I suppose to think that I can do it hahaha..
Avery Wilson is 100% the best male vocalist I've EVER heard. Without a doubt.
check out singer named b slade. this guy avery is awesome for sure.
lol you have low standards buddy
DeAndre and Luke James are pretty fire too
scaho Oh please INDULGE us with your "high standed" choices of best male vocalists.
Supanigga lol was that supposed to be a roast or what? Freddie mercury, Prince, Robert Plant, Stevie Wonder, Elvis presily.
LOL that intro was so extra ❤️
😂😂😂 but the funniest I've ever seen
Shit I thought I was good at riffs until I discovered Avery! My bloody god 🔥
That last minute or so! Oh my god his range!
There are just no words.
James Foreman he full on belted out D5 with vibrato... And most of the singers struggle with belting out Bb4 without straining....
Hans Rassmussen I mean hitting that note not using head voice, I think we can forgive improper techniques 😂😂
lmao nothing about that note was strained or unsupported...stop that bullshit
"It's like setting a book in every shelf"
OMG that wording
This riff just isn't possible. That's the final decision. Bye.
Andrew Martin I have to agree lol!
Andrew Martin looooooool.
Ive gotten down the the first 31 notes.. with the same speed... but I can't get the last part coming down from head voice at that speed.. like yooooo
lol
This Riff is so hard. I've got the first few sections... I've been practicing for months😥
I'm not stopping tho...I will succeed
His riffs are so effortless! I know it sounds goofy but I wonder if he could describe how it feels in his face and throat when he does them
Omg is this a dream? Avery Wilson and Natalie Weiss togheter? This is going to be my new obsession for like months.
love you Natalie!!! an inspiration to my work
you should break down the riff from "Don't You Worry About A Thing," by Tori Kelly from the sing soundtrack!!
YESS I've been stuck on that riff in the middle of the song for FOREVER
Robert R which one? I can help you! The one after 'the changes you take your self throuuuuuuuugh' or the 'ohs'?
Nathan Achilles I was about to comment the same thing! That's like one of the most complicated riffs I've heard considering the fact there's a sustained G#5 at the end. 😱

Kelli Smith Omg thanks! I'll have to check that app out! It's sounds like something Natalie would use, haha.
I love the idea of this but I find it so much harder breaking it down! Riff's should just be like word vomit 😫😂
for half ass singers like me it's cool to hear it broken down...gives me at least a shot
Honestly, I wanted to call you out and say " nah....this way is fine too...whatchu know about singing bla bla..." but I just heard your cover of Never Enough by Loren Allred and I saw your vocal prowess and now I'm like "Yup...she can talk".

Kevin Schart you can learn that riff bro ........mind if I give you a suggestion !!!!!!
Red Official exactly!!!
awesome vid Natalie! u almost got the run - just practice that last section slow about 20 times, like very slow and ull prob have it. One of the hardest ever runs man. He is incredible. And so are you.
Truly one of the best male vocalists out there. Vocal control, range, and riffs are INSANE.
14:30 get the fuck out, Avery
insaneeee!!!
what music is that?
I almost lost my shit when I saw the thumbnail. A dream collab I had not even dreamed of. Loved it! Also thanks Natalie for being so unafraid to show that it's okay to make mistakes. Love you both. Still waiting for the day you'll both ascend to greater heights.
5:13 YES NATALIE GET THAT Eb3!
that was such a stunning eb3, especially for a soprano
daydream exactly!!!
daydream Hayley is quaking!
it's funny because i'm a guy and my comfortable singing range is in the third or fourth octave😂 Meanwhile I can't sing above the fifth octave which is just about until Air comes out of my throat😂😂
VOCAL LEGEND
THE FACT THAT HE CAN JUST KEEP REPEATING IT IS SO AGGRAVATING AND AMAZING AT THE SAME TIME 😩😭😍😭 Natalie I freaking love this series
That Jawline tho AVERY .. COMEEEE THRUUUUU LOL also I think this goes without say you both are EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!
I'm ready for a Keke Wyatt riff..."My First Love" with Dondria 0:46
After I heard him riff, I just yelled "IF HE MAKES YOU CRY, CRY, CRYYY" lmao Yall voices are just heaven 😣 inspirations
lol, gotta say I LOVE this!
What wait I can't believe ur here I mean I know all about u and everything I should've known 🤣🤣
I've missed these so much! 00-Riff! 😂🙌🏻
omggg yasssss your doing them again I was so desperate for another video please don't stop making these
Avery Wilson OMG his voice is just angelic 😍
Riff and runs comes natural😩🙌🏾
Chasidy Light Are you sure they come naturally? I thought riffs and runs can be taught because I have seen a few videos on RUclips about them being taught using the pentatonic scale.
Rt soca for most people it comes naturally
Avery singing quiet is not something that I knew that I needed ...until now 😍
Did she say he is 6'4!? Ooooweee he is fine!
OsayaPapaya What is it with y'all and heights...pfft
@@Emmanuel_Amoah and the same with how guys like asses

Yayyyyy !!!!! So happy you're back! Brings me comfort & joy
this is one of those typical black gospel riffs its just one of those riffs black people just know how to do lmao in the history of breaking down the riffs ive never seen Natalie struggle with a riff
mona bloomfield lmfao I should've took my ass to church then , 😂 I wish I could riff lol
I know I made sure I did! hahaha I promise you, going to church did wonders for my voice!
mona bloomfield dang I don't feel black now!
Stop making everything about race.
Camz girl stop being sensitive
OMG! Thank you for coming back with BDTR!!! I'm pretty sure that I've watched every single past episode, and I have always craved more! 1. You are absolutely incredibly talented! And 2. There is humor in the episodes, which I appreciate! Keep up the great work! You're amazing!!!! ❤️
Finally!!!! I've been waiting for this!!!
absolutely insane. when i first learned of avery, i've always wanted to see him break down his own runs. well done, nat! you've got some pipes yourself!!!
Yeah after watching this, unless you some near musical genius, I have concluded that this riff is unteachable.
If queen struggles with it, there's no hope for us plebeians lol
theUchiha. I did it
This run is doable but it has been proven that it won't sound as good lmao
Uchiha you can do this! use your sharingan. you're an uchiha
just learn it slowly, note by note
Natalie, PLEASE don't take forever to make another episode! PLEASE don't take another long hiatus! I need your lessons!
IVE MISSED THESE SO MUCH
omg I'm so happy you made a video with him ! My favorite male singer
It would be an absolute dream come true if you did the riff from 3:42-4:01 in Ben Fankhauser's "To Kiss a Girl". The riff is just unreal and I know you would love it and it would be awesome for you to break it down on the show! Thanks!
Nathan Diaz YES PLEASE
Nathan Diaz let's just get Ben on the show, I would love to see them together
Charyse Monee Agreed!
Amazing. The riff was incredible, but I wasn't expecting him to then belt a D5 at the end there. JESUS. Great to see you back.
She needs to send me that list lol seriously...
Omg the squeaking at 9:15 I cry. This is my new favorite video.
I had no idea I needed Avery Wilson to sing Quiet, but my goodness did I.
His voice is like live auto tune. Every note is just basically perfect
It helps to sing this riff to not think too technically, if she just did it without worrying too much about being right, she probably would do it right.
Real Voice Some voices are just naturally more flexible than others. Natalie is extremely agile but she can't do every single riff. Hell, this the second time where she struggled to do a riff and that is fine.
@@SuperPianogirl123 when was the first time?
Lambily Lamb PYT by Tori Kelly
@@SuperPianogirl123 i thought it was lead the way by MC because she had to cut it short.
Lambily Lamb She didn't cut it short, though. She executed all the notes that were in the single run. She just didn't sing the entire vocal line.
Inspiration😍
OMG!!!! I DID IT!!😱😱😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥 YES LOOOOOOOOOOOORDD , THANK YOU🙌🙌😭😭😭
Tadéus Well done!! I'm happy for you🤗
Me too ! Finally. 😩

I can't believe I've been watching you for 5 years now holy sh
oh l am SO HAPPY!!!!! a new BDTR!!!!! And Avery WILSON?!?!?!?! This was so so so good. A million thanks!!!
2:04 - 11:57 This just isn't fair😂😂. Y'all sound good #butter
I feel like a piece of me is alive again now that you're back...my inspiration, my riffing queen, my angel of music...
Natalie can you do a bdtr but teach us how to riff in general. I mean like could u teach us exercises that can help us with riffing
Second hand information...why not just go to your people for that? smh
Thats was my point exactly.
chrls hll true
I'm glad for you to be back!!! I missed your videos! Lol. This is the hardest riff yet for sure....but it's definitely doable! Hope to see you do more in the near future!
He has an amazing smile omg 😍
Don't Worry facts man😩
FINALLY! I've been waiting for these to start up again!
Natalie could you please breakdown Avery's riff at 2:04 please? That riff sounds so sweet!
its not about somehow doing the riff.It's about sounding smooth like this guy while doing it.
I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW YOU AND AVERY IM I WHFKFLSKFKSA
Lmao. I always love the ending bit where they smile and say "to win again" lmfao. That was the most simple thing about this riff.
I usually can do all the riffs you break down... this i simply can't. However, were you flirting with him? You should he's handsome! ahah
Matteo De Masi u are too!!
ahah thanks
Matteo De Masi yw😍
Oh this conversation was so fluffy.
this video is so much fun. I never knew having a go at riffs could feel ‘not embarrassing’, love it
No she did not get Avery Wilson on here!😍😩👏👏#MissedBreakingDownTheRiffs!

Found a riff for you! Abbey Smith's My Mind performance for Sofar at around 3:21
Avery is a natural with his riffs.. this cannot be separated in sections wth.. this is natural talent
Omg I saw my notifications and literally almost died.
This was RIDICULOUS. So much talent in one video!! #IDie
I LOOOOVE Breaking Down the Riffs!!!! Please make more!!
Oh damn I've never seen Natalie get stumped! 0.0
I’m subbing. Because you’re absolutely astounding. You and Avery together are even more. This is incredible
OMG, his placement on "Quiet" is buttah!
FINALLYYYY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR NEW EPISODES!!! and omg avery!!
I'm terrified of doing riffs. But I pray that I'll be able to master them.
A fiercely talented and down to earth singer! Natalie you are an inspiration!
Could you do Christina Aguilera's "Aint no other man", I have never heard anyone successfully execute that opening riff
FF2 FF2 Its not that difficult
Ejohnson TV it's very difficult. The slide isn't very hard but the arpeggio following it is very intricate and complex
FF2 FF2 She already did
