Hey everybody and welcome back and I want to show you two examples of how we take two different songs
and we make them a lot more special and interesting to the listeners by adding they Mannix to them.
First one is going to be knockin on heaven's doors which I'm sure you've heard many times but we're
going to make it more interesting and give us some more options on what you can do with it.
All right and let's talk about knockin on heaven's door as the chorus goes
Knockin on Heaven's those.
And I want to show you how we can build up to death to make it more interesting.
And let's begin first of all I got my funny peek here.
It's the Dunlop Excel peak which I really like and I don't want to start the song just with the fingers.
I started it bigger but I'm going to use arpeggio peaking for the intro and also for the first verse.
And from there we're going to make it bigger.
So the intro is going to sound like this
first verse take this bad job of me still in the same energy
I can't use anymore
scat singing is also chill just like a plain
feel like I'm not keen on having those and now we're going to move the full strums
knockin on heaven's door
Knock Knockin on Heaven's Door when we're finished the first chorus and then we move on we move on to
the second verse and we want to make it a bit bigger than the first one but still not as big as how
we just we're in the chorus so we're going to do like this I put my guns in the ground I use full drums
like I used in the chorus but I did a merger with
the long black cloud and film and now
feels like I'm knockin on heaven's boots and this is going to be the second verse and it's actually
the last one so we're gonna give it all now
hand on hand still
knock knockin on that
yeah.
So I think you get the idea.
We become bigger and I think you get that building curve of the song and you can take this kind of a
building a care or maybe slightly modify it and put it in any other song that you play you know slightly
modify it according to your tastes according to this specific song and what you feel it needs and you
can just make any performance a lot more interesting.
All right let's move on now to the second song and this is going to be.
Can't help Falling in love with you by Elvis Presley.
Let's see how we can make it more interesting in the way that the song goes for real is with arpeggio
picking.
It's not really picking because it's in our bedroom on the piano but it's the same thing.
We're going to start this way on the guitar and from there you're going to see how we're going to pick
it up so arpeggio picking means that we're going to chop down the chord instead of playing it like this
tell us began and I want to start even smaller than how we can do it with a big so I'm going to use
my fingers for the intro and for the first verse
oh in
and as you probably noticed also my singing was chill.
It fit the beginning of the song and the way that I was playing.
Now we want to pick it up a bit and what I want to do is I'm still going to use my fingers because it's
still the beginning of the song but I still want to give it a bit more power and also I'm going to give
more power in my singing share
said
and
on a sorry
we
now something really interesting happens here in this song because the chorus here like you can see
in other songs sometimes the chorus is actually smaller than how it is in the rest of the song.
So hear the chorus goes like like a river flows Surely to the sea but again the saying of this song
is that's the chorus is smaller.
So we are actually going to use just mostly just single strums in each chord River from early to see
darling.
So your songs are meant to be.
Now we get to the second verse and we still say was the pick that we picked up for the chorus.
If I didn't mention that so we did.
And now in the second verse where are you going to use the big and we don't play for strings and it's
going to work like this
for
now we get a divorce and we have a choice do we want to still keep it smaller make the chorus smaller
one to make it bigger.
And now let's make it bigger because now we want to make it more energized.
We're gonna make it even bigger than the second verse.
River flows Surely to the sea.
Like down there have to be oh this is it.
My friends I hope that this entire topic is a lot more clear right now in the next video I'm going to
explain a bit more deeply about pond beauty which is another technique we can use for to create more
interesting dynamics and that's it.
Have a great time.
