Singing Lessons For No One

Nov 27

Fan Mail Portal Hi How are you?! So I begin with singing a D Major Scale over two octaves over the chords: Bmin/G and F#minor/D. I'm referencing a song by Tainui Richmond called "Turning it Over", though I don't sing his song. Do go check it out, it's cool. https://tidal.com/track/469516330/u Then I scat over the chords: BMajor to G#Minor. MY NEW SONG IS OUT TODAY ON BANDCAMP - It's called NORMAL DAY. https://shellybrown.bandcamp.com/track/normal-day The other folks I mention are Bobby Alu and Steve Poltz. Both definitely in my favourite musicians box.

Fan Mail Portal Heya, I wanted to work on a warm up that is a minor pentatonic descnding run, and on open vowel sounds. Then we head into a song about my chickens. Here's the words - Amin C7 You Never let me down, you always pick me up, Amin F G You never shut me out, But now you’re out there looking for dirt. There is a worm solo at the end.
