I had to drop out of our band for a few months, now I'm back and this bugger (the bass player) is singing all my high harmonies.

I did the manly thing and smashed his knuckles with a tire iron, and now he can't play, so it's all good.

Just kidding! What I did was decide to either learn or make up a third harmony to every thing. Listening to the Beatles for my whole life has made me believe that there are always two harmonies to add on top of a melody possible. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but I live my life with that.

For example in Norwegian Wood - in the Em bit - John starts going down on the B, and Paul on the high G. So I put a 3rd one in there, more or less parallel to the others, starting on the E. I think it works pretty well, at least the other guys said it could stay. How about that - making up a harmony to a Beatles song, woo hoo!

On "I Feel Fine', on the last verse, I parallel John's voice, but starting down on the G, whereas he's up on the D ("Baby's good to me..."). I'm not sure that one is as much of a keeper. a little droney, but we'll see how it turns out.

It is one of my greatest pleasures in music to write/sing "Beatles-like" harmonies. Does anyone else here get into that?

I'm certainly into Beatle harmonies and especially in non-conventional occasions I will chuck in all kinds of harmonies that may reflect string parts. When the full band plays like the record though, I always found it's best to trust George Martins vibe as it allows space for other instruments to harmonise and to get the magic 'tone.'

There are normally 3 to choose from...Quite often one is buried very low in the mix.

Love that song, loved the whole movie, and that one part stands out in my mind more than any other, like 10 years later.

Learning the keyboard parts to "Sweet Home Alabama", one of our new songs.

We're trying to decide what "very slow-dance song(s)" we're going to introduce. We've got one, "Wonderful Tonight". I'm hoping to bring in "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel. It'll be a challenge to find the right sound on my Motif, and be able to play and sing it at the same time, but I think it's doable with mucho practice ...
