Chords for Vocal Coach Reacts to Home Free - Ring of Fire

Hey guys, I'm Tara with Tara Simon Studios and today I'm going to be reacting to Home Free
who's doing a cover of Ring of Fire.
And I have never seen or heard this performance before so it's going to be my honest candid reaction
of what I see and hear from what it looks like from the still picture.
It looks like it's a live performance [N] so I'm not only going to be speaking on the singability
and the sonic production of what they're doing but also the entertainability
and the visual production of what they're doing as well. _ _ _
The heart _ [F#] _ _ is a burden _ _ _ [D#] and it [A#m] _ [C#] makes [B] a firing.
[D#m] _ Wow, nice.
[C#] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [A#m] Love _ [C#] _
the [F#] background undergirding the lead singer.
It's subtle yet it's really really profound.
_ [C#] _ Hey, Joel Singer.
[F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] What?
_ [B] _
[C#] Did not see that coming at all.
He's like in a country [B] outfit beatboxing.
[F#] Dang. Nice.
_ _ [D#] Wow.
[C#m] Look at you. _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _
Definitely sounds country.
[A#] Get that.
So [E] one of the things that are very indicative of a lower, like kind of bass, male country sound
is when they scoop up to the sound.
_ It's very very country.
And it's a stylistic choice.
It's just like a pop singer choosing to riff.
This is a very stylistic choice to make him sound a very specific way.
And listeners of country music expect and want to hear that.
So, really good job.
_ _ [C#] Did we [D#m] box in this?
I _ [F] don't know.
This is really interesting.
[B] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[C#] _ Nice.
[D#] _ _ [G#] _ [N] Oh, that's great.
I love their rendition of this song, first of all.
I mean, this is a really old song.
They brought it up to contemporary status, not only by adding the beatboxing,
but also it's a solo song and this is five guys doing it and it's awesome.
They've got their own contemporary kind of country twang that they're adding to it.
But, as I told you I was going to comment on the visual entertainability of it as well,
they're really nicely cohesive.
They look great.
They're all in similar darker tones.
They've got cowboy boots on.
And they're all moving in tandem.
There's continuity in their movement.
They all had at one point earlier their hand in their pocket and they were doing this sort of little step thing.
And now they've changed from a line of five to a stair step staggered stance.
So, you've got three in the front and three in the back, which is really nice visually
and effective for any kind of movement that they're going to do in the future.
There's room for the two to come up front, three to go in back, etc.
There's lots of possibilities that can happen out of this particular [G#] formation.
_ [F#] Love the dissonant harmony there. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And, they moved up into a line as they're [D#] walking down.
_ [A] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [F#]
That was so insanely low.
[N] _ _ _ Wow.
_ _ _ Wow. _ _ _
He's like, yeah, you're welcome.
_ You're welcome.
That was awesome.
So, this brings up a good point.
Okay, a lot of times singers get huge street cred and huge accolades and humongous amounts of fans
by being able to hit really high notes, right?
I mean, think about it.
Ariana Grande, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera.
The list goes on and on, right?
What singers do you know that get huge accolades for singing really, really low?
I can think off the top of my head of a few in particular, one of which sings country music, right?
But, I don't know stereotypically a lot of singers, especially female singers.
Toni Braxton is the only female [G#] singer I can think of right off the top of my head
who is known for singing really beautiful and low.
But, she can also sing high, too.
So, that kind of dilutes my point.
What's a singer you know that can sing really, really low who's famous for just doing that?
Not very many at all.
So, the fact that he's able to go so low to where it's impressive to everybody, like it's clear,
wow, that's something that [N] should be celebrated is really impressive
because you have to go extremely low to get to that point of impressing the masses, right?
Because just low is low.
It's not very loud.
It's not very dynamic until it reaches that superhuman level that he just did.
And then, you're just like, okay, I don't even know.
Was that a growl from a bear or was that like a human being?
I don't know.
And, honestly, I bet if you took that [G#m] note alone and looped it and put a bear as a visual,
you would think it was a bear growl.
[N] But, the only reason you're knowing, like, wow, that's a man is because you're watching him do it and it's live.
That was insane.
And, I give him mad props, right?
He deserves all the accolades, all the fans that he can get over being able to sing really low.
Sometimes, it's not all about how high you can sing.
Sometimes, it's about how low you can go, too.
So, for those of you out there who are trying to expand their range,
listen, all the time in my studio when I teach lessons, we're always trying to get higher, too.
That's fine.
But, I tell my students, don't forsake the lows.
Just because you can go very high doesn't mean you forsake expanding your range lower, as well.
And, this is a great example of that.
So, for those of you who are trying to learn and expand your range, don't forsake the lows.
You can work on the highs, but it's just as important to work your low range.
