Thanks for dropping knowledge of the voice! I love what you’re saying about bringing feelings to a song! Riffing and running will get you no where without feelings and the words relationship! If this message should be given to today’s singers, I’m glad it’s both you. They will listen because of your true talent!
different cultures define riffs and runs differently, i always saw riffs as a melisma that doesn’t have a specific direction or even a set interval, melodically speaking, and runs as scalar/linear patterns (usually the pentatonic scale but not necessarily). a similar line of thinking to avery but not the same. id say riffs also tend to be shorter. id also argue that there are things out there that are both riffs and runs, and there are also runs that are composed of multiple riffs
Such a cool conversation. It’s also cool to look at the best singers at riffing and running and most of them when they perform their songs or even covers of songs, they don’t always do the exact same run or riff that they may have recorded
08/14/2024 9:05 AM PST Wednesday take a moment thank you good brothers for sharing your experiences insights and knowledge firsthand knowledge on the dynamics of singing or being in pursuit of the act and Art of singing. It is a beautiful beautiful yes from the heavens that we have to help us navigate through our everyday lives. I can’t even imagine life without music singing, and all that it is knowledge Fosters in our lives I love your show came up upon it, you know looking at some of my favorite singers musicians and I love Avery and I came across Avery on one of the BET shows I believe it was and then I saw him do this song with Shoshana that was just amazing so I’m a fan and I’m a fan of yours Mac so thank you for being and thank you for being here infinite blessings and love as always rhoyalBaib’e
I'm sick of the obsession of riffs and runs some people think if you can't do riffs and runs thinking you cant sing and all that craziness ...... As a singer myself I don't really care for them at all I'll do it tine to time but I'm not doing the most with them and i prefer jazz scatting its more creative for me ......
Yes I agree you don’t have to know how to riff it be a great singer, however, someone who can belt compared to someone who can belt and riff is technically a worse singer, because if the voice is not agile then it is not as free as it can be
Riffs and runs, actually riffs and runs takes away from a song if done too much. Most singers that do riffs and runs too much don't have quality sounding voices. I am a quality man. Just as Anita Baker stated years back. She is about quality.
Improvising or riffs, runs, pentatonic singing up and down are much better appreciated in concert during live performance. When recording in the studio riffs and runs and phrases should be kept to a respectable minimum, in my opinion
Too many riffs and runs fam Way too many They should be used sparingly. They take from the song. I listen to Beyoncé’s verse in ‘the closer I get to you’ rendition with Luther. The amount of riffs and runs she uses in that song is perfect. Not over done.
“That doesn’t calculate greatness”. THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT!!!!
I agree Avery, artist back then did riffs/runs to express feeling.

I don't know nothing about runs and riffs but I know about fine and sexy. That's what I'm here for ;-)
Great clarity more a runner than Riffer🙂
I'm glad he realizes he runs "a lot" lol
Two monsters talking about serous staffs.
Well done ✌️🙌
50 years? Ever heard traditional Arabic music? Or Ethiopian or Indians, no one riffs like they do it’s insane.

I love to see you two reactions to Karen Clark Sheard balm in Gilead from finally Karen, she is the riff, run and lick queen...
hmmm.. very informative ;D
Runs,riffs,trills, strikes all are different lol.
Runs are usually longer than riffs
Sometimes I feel tone deficient lol
Can y’all explain why y’all over run 🏃🏽♂️ to the point that the audience forget what your singing about?
so whats the new challenge name? lets blow it up!
Do ur resarch!!!
Stevie borrowed a lot from Donny Hathaway. It's obvious how Stevie's style morphed, after Donny"s phrasing.
Do y’all feel like you do too many?
Some of these now singers attempt to do these riffs & runs and have a tendency to sing off key. It's a disaster.
Too many riffs and runs fam
Way too many
They should be used sparingly.
They take from the song.
I listen to Beyoncé’s verse in ‘the closer I get to you’ rendition with Luther.

Real music is getting lost!.. U don't know what u don't know!!!
what are yal pronouns? lol
