MY NEXT VOCAL HARMONY LESSON IS UP! Another Eagles song, Take It Easy! A little longer, as it's a lot more complex than this, but still fun! Check it out! :D

Singing Seven Bridges Road in 5 part harmony has been a bucket list thing for me. I emailed my daughter and 3 cousins and we did it for our 4th of July family reunion. We learned the parts using your video in New York City, Minneapolis, Kansas City and France! We ran through it once when we got together and it worked. Thank you!!!

Wow. What an ear you have. To break down something I have been listening to my whole life over and over again, and to see its components was amazing - I had no idea how different the pattern was for each voice. You're a genius dude!

You are correct in saying five different singers would usually produce a more exciting sound, but I have to say in this case if you had done all the voices on the record, it would still have been a hit! You did an amazing job on these harmonies!!! Thanks for sharing your talent. Message from: Lea Jane Berinati (Lea Jane Singers), vocal arranger and background singer for Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Charlie Daniels, and many others in recording studios for 45 years. You are incredible!! You must have perfect pitch...

This kind of harmony lesson is exactly what I've been looking for.

Great work dude. If you made this "vocal harmony lesson" thing a series, I think you'd blow up. Awesome video.

[rainchaser]

What a great musician you are. Thank you for posting. 🎼

I grew up knowing and loving this song. My dad improvised a bass part probably before I was born and any time it's on in my house there's actually 6-part harmony 😅

"I'm operating on a lower budget. I do not have two cameras anymore, live with it." Had me rolling

[Sandy-yioe]

I think it's stunning with just your voice. ❤❤❤

[mattdavis]

Kevin, your breakdown and understanding of this piece is as beautiful as the song. Thank you for this.

[BrooksysBassCorner]

Great video, Kevin. Thank you, really well done!

[richardlundin]

Really nice job of breaking down the various parts.

[franciscocolon]

Brother, what an outstanding deconstruction of this classic!

[HeimburgerMusic]

This is in that class of songs that I stop whatever I'm doing when I hear it start and just listen.

[Budnorth]

Brilliant. That must have been difficult to do. THANK YOU.

[steenyg]

This demo is really helping me in my chorus. I learn by ear. Can't read music. Thanks

[banaabekwegirl]

Beautiful breakdown of an amazing arrangement of a delicious song.
