Very good information... Ms Lee 10-14-24

This video hit at such a good time, Sam. (Yup, I have become emotionally attached to outcome, not the process). As you know, I’m behind on a big project and not at all where I want to be. But, with your goal advice- I’m shifting goals and literally going to go make a cup of tea, fire up computer, Logic Pro and dive into a portion if this project I’ve been putting off and see where the next few hours take me. Thanks for these videos . -L

That's a really good advice, i always wanted to learn piano and to sing and many orher things the fear of being horrible at the beggining terrifies me even though i know i will probably get better with time, i have to stop stopping myself with a fear that's not even that big, and accept that is okay to not be perfect when trying new things 💜

Thank you. 🎶

Casually singing random lines sounding like an angel 🤌

Is A love Song A Soap Opera😮😮😮

Don’t Forget The Double Voiced Voice For Chorus 😂😂😂

Thank you!! I’ve found this so helpful. Been trying to navigate this menopause journey and grief , using writing and music without knowing any theory. And how to even manage a tune when stressed. My voice I’ve noticed suffers the most so this will be a daily exercise now 🥰Glad your channel appeared today!

Thankyou. I needed to find you as I've been feeling a bit stuck. I set out to express myself musically around 5 years ago! First I learnt electronic production but felt that it didn't feel expressive (too computerized) so I was learning the piano at the same time. I love understanding theory and how to extract chords from a scale. I've basically learnt all 12 scales and that's it! (As well as some covers that I can sing along to) Then I took singing lessons and started performing in a choir. Then I started attending open Mic's recently and decided it would be best if I learnt to play the guitar as it's easily transportable to venues. I think I'm stuck in this constant state of wanting to know more before I feel skilled enough to declare myself a musician. It's all got a bit complicated and this video and your channel is a great, much needed reminder that I really want to tell my own story through music and it doesn't have to be that difficult!! Thankyou very much.

Thanks Sam .. you explained all this so well. We're in the middle of this process now! Sending love from Australia.

Everyone can sing. Love the hymns we do in church, and singing to the radio. Just do it.

This information applies to guitarists as well. Good tips.

Thanks so much Sam! I’m following your advice and am so excited to launch my first single on 9/20/24! Wouldn’t be here without you! Love you sooooo much!

Fanbloodytastic video. Thank you for the great info.

This was very helpful thank you!!!

I'm dealing with Long Covid as well as being post menopause and this also affects the vagus nerve so this is useful for my healing

I just absolutely love what you do and offer. Thank you. Your work is beautiful. Thank you.

I love the drunk theory, I am much more authentic drunk, so I love the pretending idea! Very very interesting, I will be doing much more putting kettle on singing too!

Thank you Sam, I love this song and this is a great tutorial.

Really great - u deserve loads more views! Thank you !!

Nice explanation and great topic 👍 Would love to see more like this 😊

May be the best summary. I think I've heard most of the tips in some other contexts, but this covers everything very naturally.

Thank you for sharing, Sam! X

Thank you, Sam! A very clear method ,🙂

If I order the sheets music , Does the sheet music have both the left and right hand notes on it ?

Sakiau 😂 kad nemoku grot😂

That was very useful Sam - thank you!

yes but I don't understand what octave you're playing in like I'm looking it from a singer's point of view like are you and zero through eight like where are you playing on the piano where's your middle cease so I know where you're at Ranger in thank you for teaching this cuz I have to sing it but I want to play the song I used to play as a kid I stopped playing but I'm trying to pick it up again but so I know the records I know how to read the music a little bit but regardless I forgot a lot of that but I want but you know thanks for sharing this if you just let me know when I asked about thanks so much cuz I don't know what Ranger in cuz I'm a contralto voice range.

Highly recommend this ladies courses she is amazing!!!

Different key?

You're so brilliant Sam! So grateful to have found you! Thinking about who I'd like to share this with... x0x0

Yes it’s a fine line between being inspired and distracted. But I think that is half the battle knowing yourself. I used to minge listen to podcasts but I was doing everything! And getting know where. So now, I focus on one mentor each year and only listen to them. It’s changed a lot for me and helped me get more focused!

Yes I do better with people but I don't necessarily like being pushed when I am overwhelmed maybe sit down with someone and see where I can do better in heading towards a focal point and not be so distracted.

Hi Sam, traveling through Denmark now! I had some difficulties with wi-fi but just saw your good tips on YT. Hope all is well and the potty training is successful 🤗 Joy

Most weeks I attend the Dolce Zoom Online Open Mic on Wednesday afternoon. We each play a couple of songs and then go round again, each playing another couple of songs.

Love your beautiful touching voice!❤

This video is wonderful for explaining how to use chords properly. That is so hard to get out of any of music lesson books. Thanks so much.

Merci beaucoup Sam! 😊

Changing the melody while trying to discuss the structure of that melody really damages the credibility for expertise. If you're going to talk about the beauty of the melodic structure you need to stay true to it and to its intent. The melodic structure of this song is centered in where it's trying to get to and how it struggles to get there along with Sara, constantly falling back down, just as Sara struggles to get past her love for the person she is singing to. Everything is her trying to lift up, mostly getting pulled back down and landing back where she started. The title Gravity tells us that the sense of falling in each phrase is important. It's so important that the opening piano riff is also a fall. We establish an shaky foundation wavering between C and D. Then the rest of the song structure is a back and forth between falling and a struggle to get out, but always feeling unfinished. I'll explain. The first "Something always brings me back to you" establishes the key of C then ends on D. A ii always wants to resolve into the I. But instead of resolving, it hangs on ii. It feels unfinished like she's trying to get resolution but can't. A vi wants to resolve into the V. Now look at each line. Something always brings me back to you: You - D (ii) It never takes too long: Long - A (vi) No matter what I say or do: Do (ii) I'll still feel you here till the moment I'm gone: Gone (vi) Touch (ii) Chains (vi) Much (ii) Rain (vi) Excepting the leading tone, each line is a downward sweep with maybe a feeble attempt to pull up before continuing back down. THAT'S the melodic structure. And if we're going to talk about melodic structure we have to stay true to that melody, we can't riff off it from the get go. The melodic statement is at the end of the chorus when she exasperatedly falls back to where she started: the one, the C. "And all over me" ends on a C. But your riff ends all of that traveling on the ii, the D, and loses the weight of making the end of our chorus different from the verse. These are deliberate choices made by Sara to tell the story through structure. This entire song is about where she is trying to go and being unable to get there. And somehow you've completely missed that.
