I’ve taken so much inspiration from your very generous, complimentary lessons. I’m sooooo glad you are not a Ken Tamplin. And I’m not saying that tongue in cheek. In all seriousness though, dude; you are the real deal and anyone interested in exploring their voice is doing a disservice to themselves by skipping by your vids. 🫡
It's because people don't want to hear the same performance. They'll compare it to the original, which is better obviously. You really have to give people a dancing circus bear routine with fireworks for them to give a damn. 😅
My vocal coach told me to suppose that I'm an actor. Read and analyse the lyrics first. Try to get the feeling of the song just by the lyrics themselves. Then when you start accompanying the music just go for it and don't care about the correct intonation. Try to get the feeling and expression 😊 to sum it up, she has the same philosophy like you in getting there 🤗 I'm 47 and am her student for a year now. I never had a better coach in all those years before. It's so good to see your videos they help me a lot ❤
"Intentionally do NOT hit note for note." This is the 1st time you've given an instruction that I NAILED effortlessly😂 Ok ok seriously, great advice suggesting we play with a song before we play it. This is an eye opening piece of advice😮❤ Also, when you suggested we stop trying to hit a note, but instead picture ourselves "landing on the note." THAT blew my mind & drastically improved my singing mindset. I have developed a little trick that I hope can help others. I no longer think in terms of falsetto, head voice, chest voice, distortion. I view these as nothing more than different characters. My interest in voice acting & the comedian Maria Bamford inspired me to view these different voice categories differently.
a lot of singers would really benefit from improv classes, not only for vocal and self confidence but to explore just how much one person can do with their own voice. ive always loved talking to myself in silly voices. just yesterday i rapped rap god while doing a high pitched british old lady voice. it was glorious. and so much fun lol
When you were demonstrating at the beginning of trying to match the pitches is how I've been doing it and it makes me so frustrated. This is very valuable advice. Thank you!
I remember watching a busker play his guitar and singing, standing on the sidewalk with his hat out to collect money. I learned a valuable lesson with this fellow, because he was singing cover tunes and he was desperately putting off the energy, the vibe of asking people if he's good enough and if they recognize the song. I would much rather have had his vibe be that he was projecting saying that he's having a damn good time, not apologizing for an honest emotion, feeling the beat and the song. I mean, which would you rather listen to?
This method is such a game changer! Focusing on connection and emotion rather than pitch perfection really opens up a new way to learn songs. Thanks for sharing this!
I began quite cynically! But as you explained further and gave those examples of playing around with your voice and the feeling rather than trying to copy, I saw how really useful this lesson is - it's a bit like being inspired by your favourite artists into using the same brushes as them, but adding your own colour. 😃 Many thanks! xx
I've been playing guitar and learning to sing for a year. I was so focused on playing the songs as accurately as possible that I completely forgot what they were actually about. Thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that it's actually about the feeling and the fun, and not about perfection 🙏🏼
Good technique Chris. I learned in the early 90’s that it was pointless trying to recreate the vocal exactly like the original song. I’m not a tribute act. Just feel it and give it your own vibe. It’s worked well for me for over 30 years!
What you are discussing here is exactly what I tell people to do. Getting into character is how I made my screams sound crazy….because I’m going crazy doing them xD
Great lesson! I’m definitely guilty focusing too hard on pitch and matching the original recording. It can be helpful to try to learn different techniques, but I think it’s sometimes been at the expense of connecting with the song for me. Looking forward to trying this approach!
Perfect timing, I’m trying to do some vocals and it’s not working out. But your teaching me how to method act but for singing and I appreciate it immensely
Awesome video. I had a bit of a laugh as you were going through the process of sorting out "Creep". At first you sounded like William Shatner doing the song and then transitioned into Bob Dylan. I love how it all comes together. I do this song myself and i let my emotions guide me through it. Once I started doing that, I started getting mind blowing reactions from my audience.
Yes, I only tend to learn songs I've listened to for many years. I got to sing Holy Diver a few times as guest vocalist for a local band and while to my mind I didn't measure up the passion and power behind my delivery wowed the crowd even though I didn't hit all the classic notes. 14 years with a jam band and droning practice in meditation have freed my voice to soar with whatever. Even if I don't hit the exact notes of cover songs I tend to land on notes that fit the chord easily from years singing along with not just vocalists, but guitar and horn melodies. At 50 years young I have yet to discover the absolute top and bottom of my range. So far it keeps expanding with daily droning and toning rituals and deep belly breath discipline following me all throughout my days. My inhale tones are even getting better controlled, melody power in my higher than soprano inhale squeak range, with and without distortion is dialing in from a few words you put into the information stream. Thank you.
Best video on this topic I've ever seen. I was taught to first learn the technical part an put the feelings aside. But every time I get stuck on the notes and on my technical problems and can't connect to my feelings anymore. I will try this immediately. Thank you so much🙏👍😎
Chris, after taking your vocal classes. Yes that's exactly how it is. Feel first and then making it fit. I have to say I experienced this similarly while recording. And now this vid. Thank you for talking it out. However, it's still training to hit it. It's not like not doing anything. It's the training and then starting off with something and emotions first and get the learned in automated. But it's a long way to the automation and also hearing ... Yes nailed it. So it's both sides to take into consideration. Great vid to show it. 🖤
Yeah, i like working your way around the whole song. Think about how they weote the song, it was probably alot different than playing each note and seeing what fits😭😭 Playing the harmonies and working around the song IN YOUR OWN VOICE are key in my opinon, and I love how you touched those ideas!
Hey Chris, I stop by your channel every once in a while and I remember when you were maybe just around 10k subs and now i see you at half a mil and just want to say congrats and that it's well deserved. I'm happy for your success man. This video came to me at the right time as I just started learning covers and playing them live at paying gigs and this relieves a lot of the pressure and brings back the creative artistry part of the process. I love how you talk about "permission" in this video. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and advice. Much appreciated.
actually didn’t think i would get anything from this, since i generally don’t struggle with melody, but this honestly taught me a lot about emoting while i sing which is something i’ve been looking at improving lately. thanks chris!
Very inspiring. I get connection, the last few songs we learnt I had a connection and they sound great. But that connection was after learning it and then finding and putting more emotion in it. Need to try reversing that. I loved the word you used at the beginning. Finding the ETHOS of the song ❤
Your advice is always helpful and not only gives a good starting point but also briefly gives a good sense of which direction to go to reach the end point. I think you should do a full cover of it with vocals accompanied by the guitar.
I have never try to learn songs the way you did in the first example. I have just always used my ear and sung what I heard ... However this is interesting what you are doing in the later example. I might even try it with my own songs. To possibly get more expression and interpretation out of the vocals, like you did there with Creep. Super good stuff here.
It's also a great exciercise for learning how to sing and play at the same time. If you could make a video dedicated to singing while playing that would be another very helpful tool.
Very valuable and original advices here. Really great insight, thanks. I realize that I, more or less, did this instinctively sometimes but you articulated it clearly and methodically. It will benefit many of us artists of all kinds. Thank you again.
Currently having singing lessons. My teacher said the same and once I connected emotionally with a song I am covering and felt the words the difference in my rendition AND how good it made me feel was immense - for me it is really about letting go and losing my inhibitions. Great vid, thank you.
This video is perfect timing for myself and I'm setting up a mic from home and going to try this with my guitar for which I have been longing for, now my voice is ready to take on such great songs as this. Ive never heard of this teaching how to connect with a song and it is fantastic! Thank you very much Chris and as always I appreciate your videos like this that are jam packed full of gems!
Awesome! Literally subscribed because of this video alone. Your fearlessness and honesty is hands down what sets you miles apart from other “coaches”. Great stuff!
This approach is GENIUS! I love how you flip things on their head and get us to focus on the emotion and freestyle before worrying about pitch and imitation. Thanks for sharing and so glad i found it! I'll definitely be looking more into your work and courses
Glad you're seeing the value in looking at stuff in new ways. This is what I dive head first into with my programs and courses. Looking forward to possibly working with you in the future!
I will definitely try this when learning a new song :) My typical strategy to connect with a song is to stop listening to the original and just play it in my mind where it starts to morph and reshape itself. Only problem then is that I forget how the original is, which might cause a glitch in a jam-session. Anyways, thanks again for great content and for making singing feel more playful and harmless
Top stuff Chris,im going to try this approach on a track im about to do vocals on. I think performance and conncetion outweighs pitch everytime . Inspiring! Thanks.
I’ve been trying so hard to remove my singing from the original songs I try to play beause I can’t sing that well and want it to sound like a cover/ my own version. So thank-you, this video helped a lot and I’m looking forward to practicing more covers.
Chris, just today I went back to the Ultimate Ear course with you and David. I'm good at starting courses and not finishing but trying to get through it. It's a fun course.
I love your videos dude. Especially the one that went over Frusciante's backing vocals in Slow Cheetah. I'd love to see more content from chili songs. Especially this song called "Someone" by RHCP.
This helped me so much, i just tried it (without skipping steps lol) and it worked instantly. I have a pretty deep voice and people say I sing well but it feels impossible to sing some of my favorite songs without ripping out a vocal chord so I tend not to sing in front of others. I forgot that its okay to have freedom while singing, and that makes my singing sound way better. Thanks a lot!
nice video!! it actually helps, and i'll remember it for a while cause of the lyrics of the song lol (waiting for an ado deep dive on the new song "shoka")
I really appreciate this lesson Chris. Most the time I'm worried about being on key, in the right pitch, or making it sound close to what the original song is. Thank you for your great lessons.
I just noticed you also listen to REN! YEESSSSSS! Hi Ren, and the Money Game trilogy are some of the songs I've been working on learning, both on guitar and to sing. He's truly one of the best artists of our time and the way he expresses himself lends perfectly to what you describe in this video. I will be trying to applying some of this to those songs now for sure, maybe trying to unlearn some of my perfectionism about hitting those unreal emotional melodies that I've only heard from Ren. You've given permission to take music and really make a tribute to the original artist by making it our own. At least, that's how I've always thought of artistic respect. I used to sell nature photography, and the greatest compliment i ever received was having a painter do paintings of my photos
Oops, that's me at the beginning of the video, trying to sing to the guitar notes in a weird way. Your approach so makes sense. First you intuitively get the harmony in your head, then you really understand the lyrics, and the exact pitches and timbre come naturally
It’s a bit funny that your title implies that this method will help you avoid being cringy. I actually made the 😬 face involuntarily a few times during your demonstration 😅
Uh oh.. i felt attacked reading the name and seeing thom yorke in the thumbnail.... Honestly, I wished it was about how i mix my voice wrong and tire it out when i sing lol Very insightful nonetheless, thankyou Chris.

It's because people don't want to hear the same performance. They'll compare it to the original, which is better obviously. You really have to give people a dancing circus bear routine with fireworks for them to give a damn. 😅
It’s like you’re unwriting the song and then writing it again with your voice! Brilliant

It's totally what I used to do too.. until I found out how awkward it made me feel and sound! So glad you found value in the 'new' approach!

very helpful and inspiring, thank you! Will certainly be saving this vid and remembering to do this for my next cover
8:54 Couldn't have said it better. Connecting with a song is like a spiritual adventure. You really need to internalize it in a deep meaningful way.

DONT BE FOOLED! This is an actimg class desgiused as a singing class!

Singing is just emoting in key 🤙
And the key to acting is a paradox. It's being yourself.

This is FANTASTIC, another one I'll come back and reference long term
This is 100 percent the opposite way I've been trying to learn songs. ...which has been getting me nowhere.
Going to give this a try. Thanks.
Love the inviting curiosity and play with my voice FIRST! Yep. Love this. 🎉🎉❤❤

great video! find your own voice and phrasing, can even slow down the tempo and speed it up to really explore your own voice.
nice video!!
it actually helps, and i'll remember it for a while cause of the lyrics of the song lol
(waiting for an ado deep dive on the new song "shoka")
that was the most inspiring video i have seen in a long time. that is how it is done!
For sure, IA can’t touch that human progression ! Good lesson thanks!!
I really appreciate this lesson Chris. Most the time I'm worried about being on key, in the right pitch, or making it sound close to what the original song is. Thank you for your great lessons.
Good points, good points. . that's why my original music has more emotional impact than my covers. And easier to do!
I just noticed you also listen to REN!
YEESSSSSS!
Hi Ren, and the Money Game trilogy are some of the songs I've been working on learning, both on guitar and to sing.
He's truly one of the best artists of our time and the way he expresses himself lends perfectly to what you describe in this video.

Danke, Chris. Immer wieder inspirierend. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland 👋
This can actually be really useful in a songwriting process 🙏🏼🎶
Love your vids and your way to teach people
Oops, that's me at the beginning of the video, trying to sing to the guitar notes in a weird way. Your approach so makes sense. First you intuitively get the harmony in your head, then you really understand the lyrics, and the exact pitches and timbre come naturally
Wow. I'm gonna do this with my own songs to reconnect with them...
I was missing this in my singing, thanks
It’s a bit funny that your title implies that this method will help you avoid being cringy. I actually made the 😬 face involuntarily a few times during your demonstration 😅
Hehe. Irony :)
As a songwriter and performer Chris, it’s an excellent lesson.
Great demonstration, thanks

Love this, love this, love this 🎉
Thank you Sensei, I'll work on it
Feeling it and being off pitch isn't an upgrade.. this is about listening
