let’s revolutionize this songwriting industry? songwriters, collaborators, writing is the most essential element in songwriting? you want to write songs that are marketable, then write, read,listen to what’s being said daily at work,gatherings,etc,.. I’m creating songbooks to present to public, producers,collaborators etc, i haven’t seen this in any book stores yet. music isn’t ever going to die? I welcome anyone interested in not only writing but, interested in publishing, leasing, selling but maintaining royalties, mechanics. its time to get paid for your time and patience? how much patience is needed?

For me, finding harmonies above the main melody is easy.

Finding close harmonies and harmonies below the main melody is something that I’ve had to really work hard for.

Thank you, sir!

I know what you mean. There are a hundred okay songs that have become great through the careful use of vocal harmonies.

Personally, I’ve always had a problem with harmonies: I can hear them okay, and I understand the theory, but I really have to work hard to get what’s in my head out of my mouth.

How easy do you find singing harmony?

Hey, what a great post Tom. I love to audio examples you’ve put up there.

Thanks for the link

I don’t know if it’s just me, or is harmony a bit overlooked these days in songs?

There’s nothing better (especially in a live situation) than hearing tight, close harmonies in the right spots. It really lifts a song up and into the ears of the listener.

Love your work,

Corey
