I will work with the new vocalist by transposing the melody note for note so that we can practice pitch with a keyboard. Also, dynamics so we can ad some energy to the vocals.
Just a quick performance note about this musical piece. The whole song is only 2 chords (which are Am to F, except one change on the bridge (Dm) for the solo), and we experimented with modulation. This means the Am switches from Dorian on the clean verse, Phrygian on the heavy riff, to Locrain Diminished on the Chorus, all resolving to FMajor. It builds tension as it progresses. The drummer and bassist also added to the build ups with syncopation.
Thanks for the replies!
Jerry, Tell your singer to forget about Dorian and Phrygian and just get in there and sing. He's got the basics , so it wont be a long learning curve... I think it's just a matter of dilligent practice , every day... He'll definately get there.
Nice Work overall
