Seven Bridges Road - VOCAL HARMONY LESSON 

I love this video. One of my favorite harmonies , very wel edited , would love to hear it all put together

Thanks man! You really helped me out, would love it if you'd check out my version on my channel :)

You’re awesome 👐🏻♥️

@@coletumey8077 agreed - @Kevin Todd please release this newer version - i get that you have an original cover (~6 years ago), but you you clearly worked hard on this one ... seems silly not to share. P.S. 5:48 - surprised you liked Home Free's cover, as they kinda fail your tip 4 imo. They're too 'perfect' (likely thanks in part to an over-abundance of auto-tune), and it sounds kinda alien because of it. Is that why you didn't share this 2nd cover?

Great channel! It would be great if you did some videos on any hits by the band Alabama!!

@grantmills4184 Thank you 😊 for the breakdown. It really helped me understand where I would fit it. Thought I was Glen Frey. Nope to high. Did much better with Joe Walsh. ✌🏻💖🎶

@@lvlinda6 You're welcome! Did this for myself to learn the parts, and glad to help others too. And those high notes are real tough to hit accurately too!

@@grantmills4184 amazingly I can hit all the notes, but the low part i hit best. Strange. Maybe i sing tenor in b flat.

That's so amazing to hear! So glad I could help! :)

Thanks so much Kyle! 😃 absolutely I will be making it a series! My next one should be up in a couple weeks! (Im verrry slow at making these 😅) lemme know if you cover this one!

@@KevinToddMusic You know I’ve talked about it with my roommate but we’re both very vocally limited karaoke bros, so don’t hold your breath haha. Still, appreciate the time and effort put in and I *have* practiced a few of these parts. Take your time and keep doing good work.

@@kyleabney6047 haha no worries! Awesome to hear! 😁

I think that too... I've seen another blurb from somebody else breaking down the harmonies on some of the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Occasionally Young hits... Harmony is counterintuitive... hmmm.... maybe some hotdog politician could use the concept and join us all together... ah, never mind...

Wow thank you so much for those kind words! 😊 unfortunately I don’t have perfect pitch but I’m not too bad at figuring out notes! 😊

I have to admit, that you've got one hell of a range there, Bro... I followed you from the bottom (Don Felder) through Mid-Bottom (Joe Walsh) and the main (Glenn Frey), but I couldn't get there with Don Henley's part, much less with Timothy B. Schmidt's part... and I can't tell you why... no, no Baby, I can't tell you why... One of my kids came running in: "Dad! Are you okay?" Apparently, turning 68 means that you're effectively on your death bed. I've heard most versions, but the Eagles' version is the definitive version... thanks for tute...

IKR!?! It's crazy that he can go so low! Thanks for checking out the vid! :)

You can really tell when felder sings "Moss in the trees" its crazy low and deep on the word moss

His voice makes it through my low pass filter at 80hz! haha

I also never realized that Felder could even sing worth a darn.. I always thought he was just lip synching.. This is the same guy that spent an entire day in the Studio trying to record the Lead Voice for Hotel California, and sucked so bad, Don Henley went in and recorded it himself...

@@frandanco6289 the story asfrom Felder in the History of the Eagles is that the song was Victim of Love, another tune for which Felder wrote the 'bed tracks'. For the record, he himself admits that Henley is a better singer; but you can check out plenty of video and audio evidence that Don Felder is a decent singer.

Thanks so much! Hoping to do more in the near future, with one coming out this week! 😊

Yes. More please.

I’m so glad i was able to help! 😊

That's such a nice story!

Thank you so much Daniël! Added to the list! In the meantime, I have a couple new ones since this that you can check out if you’d like :)

Glad I could help!😊

Thank you so much for the kind words Fran! I really appreciate you saying that 😊 I definitely agree, these are by far my fav Eagles harmonies!

Thanks so much for the kind words and for the sub! Be sure to check out my previous vocal lesson! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hgb_1i0VY2w.html

Thanks so much! 😃 unintentional! That’s just how I sing! 😋 originally from Toronto, but first started singing a lot along to Eagles songs so that might have an influence! 😃

Also on Take it Easy on Me

Thanks so much Andrew! 😊

Thank you so much John! I would love to hear your version when you do it! :D (also, I WISH i could put the full version up, but knowing the Eagles, it’d probably be taken down asap 😅).

Thank you so much Elin! I’ll deff check it out! 😊

Thanks so much! I agree that it would sound better in that register!

My pleasure! Thank you so much for listening! 😃

Ehh thanks so much! Glad it could help you out! 😊

Thanks so much! Definitely let me know when you do one! 😃😃

Wow thank you so very much for those kind words! And ironically enough, my analysis of Carry On will be out this week! 😮

Haha absolutely! Rocking it every year 😜 thank you for the kind words 😊

Thank you so much for checking it out! 😊

Thank you kindly!😊

I know you’re correct, still feels weird to say 😅

@@KevinToddMusic agreed

@@KevinToddMusic wondering if you've done any classic Journey harmonies....equally iconic

Thank you so much for those kind words; that really means a lot to me! 😃 for the audio, I use Pro-Tools, and for the video editing I use both Windows Movie Maker and Filmora X. However, I’m looking to get a more advanced editing software; specifically for the reason that there would be more online tutorials for the more “industry standard” products. That’s what I found with Pro-Tools, and it’s what I’m hoping to get with the video editing software 😊

Thank you so much Anup! I really appreciate that! 😊

That’s so great! I’m so glad it was able to help you guys! 😊

Thank you so much! I’m so glad I was able to help :) definitely let me know when you make a cover, i’d love to hear! :)

Thanks so much! More of these videos are in the works, but if you’re curious you can check out my analysis of Suite Judy Blue Eyes by CSN! 😃

Thanks so much Curt! 😊

You’re right! For the majority of performances it was Randy Meisner! For the recording that was released as a single in 1980, it would have been Tim Schmitt, that’s why I used his name 😊

Haha thanks so much! 😅 gonna be posting more to hopefully get that sub number up! (At least to 1000 so I can start monetizing 😂😂 jks)

While I don’t agree, I can very much respect that opinion, (my personal fav is Dolly Parton tbh 😅)

BALUK!! Dolly, like the Eagles, hokied this up to hillbilly BULLSHIT!!! Iain singing this straight forward without the BS!! And he sings all five parts!!

I guess i like hillbilly bs then 😅

Thank YOU diane! 😊

Thanks so much Rodney! Awesome question; pretty tricky to explain, but I'll give it a shot! The best way I can describe it is by singing as if the source of the sound is created and coming from the front of your face/nose area (i.e. where a mask would be worn, no relation to COVID). Similar to how you can "breath into your stomach or chest," but in reverse. When you are singing, try playing around with where you're imagining the sound source to come from; try your chest, throat, mast, head, etc. Even with just being mindful of this, it will still cause the sound and tone to be projected differently, with the higher physically in your body that you are projecting from, the brighter, thinner, and more trebly the sound. Projecting from your mask should be a very bright, loud projection with a strong mid-high to high range, but with hardly any bass support, perfect for high vocals that need to cut through a mix without too much 'grit' so to speak (i.e. the bridge of this song!) Hope this helps! Thanks again for listening and be sure to check out the lesson I just posted for Take It Easy! :)

Thank you for the kind words Ali! It was a pleasure making this. I have a couple other vids like this up if you want to check them out! :)

Thanks so much Kurt! 😊

Thanks so much Jasper for the kind words! You can DM me on my instagram at @kevintoddmusic ! Looking forward to connecting! 😃😃

Thank you so much brother!

Lorin Card= Duh...

Haha thank you so much for the kind words and feedback; you’re absolutely right in that the bass is WAYYYYY too low for me (thank GOD for autotune 😂). But definitely next Eagles analysis I can talk more on their specific style of singing 😊

@@frandanco6289 go away if all you can say is duh tart

@@lorincard3224 =monotone tart of the world..

@@frandanco6289 sure, and what else are you with a girl's name stanko??!!

Thanks so much! 😃 so glad this helped!if you end up recording this one let me know! 😁

@@KevinToddMusic will do. For sure!👍

TheWayneReport - If you want to take a music class, you will be better able to pick out the notes for the harmonies.. Even better, get to learn how to read music, and then it all comes together so much better.. Even perhaps joining the Church Choir where you go, will be a great way to learn how the 4 parts, soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, fit.. I love to sing too ! Been doing it all my life..

Thanks so much William for the kind words and feedback, I really appreciate it! 😃 I have a couple more up since here and am definitely gonna be making more as I settle into my new job (and absolutely some CSNY are on the to-do list). For the part names, I used the names of those in the band at the time of the recording (1980), however, you’re absolutely right in the fact that they started performing this song before this exact lineup!

Thank you so much Tina for the kind words 😊

Thanks so much Clay! Absolutely not! If anything the support you and others are showing is encouraging! 😃

Thanks so much Billy! 😃 (it’s Kevin, but i’ll let it slide 😜 lol) I use an Eletrovoice RE20, plugged into a Cloudlifter, going into my Steinberg UR44 AI (i just use the preamp with that unit). Hope that helps! 😊

@@KevinToddMusic Thanks for the info Kevin have a great weekend.

I do not hear excessive vibrato in any of the voices... :) And this man, here, has perfect voice control... :)
