Breaking Down Tori Kelly's PYT Riff/Run (VLOTH #8)

[@SuperAnthony400]

Legit looks like a Dora the explorer episode 😂😂

[@oneilgerald]

I LOVE IT. HAHA!

[@SuperAnthony400]

O'Neil Gerald The little pauses, the zooms, the "Guess what? (five seconds to let us guess) Yes! Exactly!" Everything is set up just so perfectly 😂

[@oneilgerald]

HaHAAAAA! It so is. I will not even deny it!

[@UdoADHD]

Lmao I was about to comment the same thing.

[@oSamSantos]

I don't know what is more impressive: her singing skills or your teaching abilities. Very good video!

[@oneilgerald]

Wow! I'm so humbled by your compliment. Thank you so much and blessings on your lifeeeee!!!

[@GarageStudio7]

Unbelievably amazing that her riff/run in a cover during her KZbin days is one of the most iconic riffs/runs of all time!

[@156xtina6]

I almost feel like I'm not worthy of this free information 😂 this is amazing.

[@C.Ridley8135]

artehmay Right

[@jadesmith417]

Tori Kelly has an insane voice! I hope that she writes some great music puts her on the map as an artist.

[@dekarriofficial]

Finally. I love Tori Kelly. Go head. Break it down.

[@samuelmwangi4431]

There's an epic run in Mariah's 'Lead The Way'. It's mindboggling. Please break it down.

[@drewm.2790]

Samuel Mwangi Yes yes!.. that run is out of this world.. 👍👍👍

[@sentfromupabove]

Natalie Weiss already did that

[@SilentAssassin01234]

sentfromupabove She already did PYT as well.

[@johnputnam3228]

This description is amazing. I never knew how to explain “you gotta riff in the key” But you say “use the chord tones” which makes perfect sense

[@YasmineBianca]

please do jazmine sullivan

[@oneilgerald]

She is SO on my list.

[@rabbitsedits]

this channel is so underrated your videos are amazing

[@emmanueljohnn1026]

This is too much free information! New subscriber!!

[@charlenehall9152]

She gave me chills!

[@misterbwa]

DUDE!!! Please tell me you're a choir teacher or some sort of music teacher. You explain things soooo well and you are very captivating to watch as well. I did music all through my childhood and haven't done any lessons or classes since I was probably 18 (22 now). These vids are so fun and educational and really bringing me back and reminding me how much I love this stuff.

[@trstnvocidentcris]

I LAUGHED AT THE BEGINNING!!! I realize what the dots were for later on in the video but the fact that your hands can match her rifts is hilarious

[@angelafaye8560]

Tori Kelly New music coming out next Friday 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@nanawordie7967]

angela buchanan yup, her new song is amazing

[@anthonygreer4012]

You should do group vloths. Like the Walls Group , the Clark Sisters, Destiny Child . Break down each members voice . Talk about harmony there blends . Run/Riffs in harmony . Tell what each member brings the group @

[@oneilgerald]

YOU'RE IN MY BRAIN!!!

[@anthonygreer4012]

O'Neil Gerald dope ! I’m excited !!🔥🔥💯

[@ItsMediKay]

Yes please do the Walls Group!!!

[@C.Ridley8135]

Anthony Greer yes the Walls Group

[@courtneyhorton7512]

SPECIFICALLY the song "The Word" by The Walls Group... that one would take forever....lololol

[@unprofitableservantofJesus]

She does a trill? Or that flutter thing at the I(ah) part. It's magical and out of this world. Don't know how she does it. But I don't listen to too much secular music but Tori has me. She's an exceptional artist and Loves Jesus. Amen!:) I believe that is also why it's hard for her to rise in the Hollywood industry, she doesn't sell her body for money. They can't appreciate true artists like her and it's sad. Ok rant over. Do more Tori Runs! Nobody love. 😉 also love you O'Neil you are AWESOME! KEEP ON KEEPIN ON HON. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Always looking 👀

[@howardrobinson5393]

JAZMINE SULLIVAN pretty pretty pretty please.

[@MyFavourites1]

Yaaaaaaaaaas!!!!

[@SimplyDafDaf21]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. the musician, singer, band geek, in me is SO HAPPY.

[@nanawordie7967]

This channel is really cool! I love you way you edited this. I don’t even really know anything about music and you explained this stuff well so I can understand. Good job! And I love this video because Tori’s vocal ability is out of this world.

[@oneilgerald]

I'm humbled by your comment! This is just how my head works and I'm glad I can take people inside!

[@oneilgerald]

Blessings on you! 😀

[@Ethan.W.B]

Really good breakdown. I wouldn’t mind hearing your thoughts on David Phelps and how he sustains such a full sound for a very long period of time

[@XxQueenChristinaxX]

Yass, you betta show them that music theory.

[@gia9551]

Ok I'm obsessed with your videos. This is like the musical theory lessons I never got bc my teacher in high school was a theatrical/opera type. Her favourite singer in the class put out two albums that were.. not so much filled with bops 😂 I love how it's broken down into the scale. Thanks for making this so in depth and I would definitely watch more

[@Ivannascovinoangel]

OH YESSS Thank you for this video! I remember watching Tori Kelly's videos when I was younger & trying to memorize all her runs (& ultimately failing LOL)--She definitely has perfect pitch & such an agile voice

[@ricomorasata3227]

Hey O'Neil! Again, I really love these breakdowns that you do. If possible, it would be nice if you go over: -The iconic runs Beyonce does in "I care"; the one that peaks at B5 and the staccato run to C6 in particular. -The different scales that can be used for melismata, i.e., another scale beside pentatonic scale. And why is the pentatonic scale the most common type of scale used in pop and RNB? Thank you! Your content is really informative for us music nerds! All the best!

[@michelleimanuela]

HAHAHA WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY YET EDUCATING AT THE SAME TIME. I LOVE THIS

[@princexeliel]

I LOVE HER SO MUIUUCH thank you for this

[@cmg25]

Obsessed with this channel!!!!!! Learning so much! Thank you!

[@ByronOjedamusic]

Can you please react to Jojo's runs or to her music? That'd be cool

[@vanessaleenguyen9558]

Please do more break downs of Tori Kelly's riffs & runs! PLEASE. So good.

[@tizonn9842]

Analyse It's Only my World by Sohyang ( she change her tone to a one darker in this song)

[@DrAdnan]

Very intellectual breakdown. Nice video. Can you do more on the basics of this stuff? I dont have a very good grasp of major and minor scales and all that.

[@ericluong9439]

I would like you to do a vloth of the final run in Mariah Carey’s Vision of love in MSG

[@instasingingvids3529]

Eric Luong that would be awesome that is probably my favorite performance of vision of love

[@ericluong9439]

Señor Loco Me too! It is one of my favourite too

[@drewm.2790]

Eric Luong yes yes please!..

[@dychondra]

You do such a great job explaining things. I’m such a novice but I like trying to understand what I listen to. Well done!

[@oneilgerald]

You're exactly the type of person I do this for! So glad I could be of some education for you!

[@bbzzznn]

Hi! Could you break down Ariana's Only 1 riffs please? I'm having trouble pulling off the riffs as clear as she did. Thank you so much, i'm a new subscriber!

[@ItsMediKay]

This is such a well-constructed video! Great job man!

[@oneilgerald]

THANK YOU. I try my best! Have a great day! 😀

[@KrisandAurelia]

Love her. Oh! Can you do Jonathan McReynold's run in Cycles?

[@tekenaabere]

Kris Brown PLEEAASE

[@lilyauguste]

Oh yes lol also just his voice in general/choices because God is good

[@khiofficial2900]

I think you should try to break down the run at the end of "Hit Me" by Dirty Loops. Natalie Weiss has a video on how to sing it but I like how you write things out. I always end up learning something new😊💛🙌

[@Conker32192]

why are you so epic though. Do some Jazmine sullivan runs please

[@itss_nattyj]

Omg yes please

[@itsdiamondbby]

I’m loving your channel. Thank you for coming fresh new info every time. Requesting a vocal analysis of Amber Riley from Glee.

[@elaineweaver12]

I love this episode! I’ve studied theory before but have fell off of it so your videos are definitely helping to turn the dust off the gears in my brain 😂 thank you!

[@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink]

Man I love your channel!! Your so informative and it makes sense lol. I dance and I can’t sing at all ... so you may wonder why I watch this ...I wish I could sing man haha so I watch this and feel like I’m learning something about something I wish I could do haha. Will continue to be amazed! Subscribed! Keep it up man!

[@JustinDG100]

I really love your explanations and videos. Showing love and respect from CPT South Africa.

[@jazzam0razz]

I learned so much! I'm not too into the music scene right now, but I just saw Lorde live and she's incredible. If you're going to venture further into the kpop world, I'd love to hear something about Ailee or Hyorin (SISTAR) or Taeyeon (SNSD). :)

[@charlenehall9152]

Man I love her!

[@shalomasam4797]

Yo what's crazy is a couple years ago I only dreamed of being able to do this run and now I actually got it but just need to speed it up! lol Thanks bro for breaking it down!! Also you should do another complicated TK run breakdown!

[@princestory26]

I love this!!! New subscriber!!!

[@oneilgerald]

Yaaaay! Welcome to the community!

[@montrealmitchell6694]

The beginning of the upward run resembles Yebba's iconic run that she does in "my mind" and a couple other songs

[@oneilgerald]

Great obeservation!!!

[@hwin]

These are awesome! Please do lot's more!

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

Yesssss that run slays me every time!

[@rebeccafraker8753]

Wow, great video. Very informative but you break it down into a very easy to digest way for a n00b like me. :)

[@christinenguyen7477]

Great video! Can you break down mariah's lead the way?

[@soaribb32]

Christine Nguyen yes

[@danieldelacruz5251]

omg yes

[@mkla3333]

Natalie Weiss has a breakdown video of that riff in case you’re curious

[@andrethomas483]

João Vitor I see you everywhere. From Drag Race videos to vocal videos

[@Haittavero]

Check out Natalie weiss' Breaking down the riff episode 1

[@yeongkarsoon481]

Break it down king.. yeah

[@mmmmhi5631]

Thank you for this!!!! God Bless you 💖💖💖

[@renascidanilo]

AWESOME. JUST AWESOME.

[@oneilgerald]

Wow! Thank you!

[@evelyntan4003]

Stumbled to your channel via reddit and loving it! How do you assess a person's vocal strengths and weaknesses? I just can't seem to figure what my strengths and weaknesses are. Also do you do classes or feedback videos for your subscribers? :)

[@LuizFelipe-oi3kw]

love that video. could u make one about tori kelly's low registers? she uses that a lot. another singer that i love too much is Clark Beckham. he does a lot of runs and has a massive high tessitura. it would be nice if you make a video about him and his powers hahaha.

[@Kai-lx1xm]

Omg that’s a way things are done when singing thanks dude

[@DesmondCHenderson]

You would be an awesome theory teacherrrrr!

[@JM-yk5ur]

So I just find you on my YT suggestions and I instantly dig that whole vibe and nature of what you're doing. Subscribed & belled. I'd love to hear your take on 2 of my faves Mariah (any era run but prefer prime) and KeKe Wyatt (You & I run left me speechless). Thank you!

[@oneilgerald]

Mariah and KeKe. Absolute MONSTERS. And thank you so much for your subscription! I'm hoping to get both of those voices as soon as I can!

[@JM-yk5ur]

O'Neil Gerald thank you so much! Still watching and loving this channel.

[@imperial54]

the run that i've been having a hard time singing and figuring out is beyonce dangerously in love, the beyonce experience tour. at the end of the performance she does this crazy downward scale. it would be awesome if you could break it down for us!

[@Brea04290429]

Yes she did!

[@Sigma200O]

Please 🙏 breakdown to boyz 2 men's song motownphilly, when wanya morris is singing the runs in the beginning of the song.

[@xshlol522]

Idk why... But the first part of the video was satisfying-

[@enzoaquinocerd]

Can you break down Dirty loop's Hit me riff?

[@narutoclaymore]

You are amazing! Love your vids ^_^

[@nokzungerwalling841]

Thank you for this video. I was searching for the notes so that i can try it on the guitar :)

[@monzr0]

Great video! Gracias!

[@jazzam0razz]

A little bit of constructive criticism (which you are free to ignore!): I found the background music pretty distracting while watching your video. I can understand the desire to have it there so it's not just a video of you talking hahaha, but i figured you might want to know in case you want to try to tweak something! Keep up the great work! I've shared your video with my sister (we used to be in choir together). They're a lot of fun to watch!

[@C.Ridley8135]

Can you please review the run in the 2016 live Grammy performance of hollow with James. One of her BEST Vocal performances..please 🙏🏽

[@ProfessorBoynton]

Avery WIlson. Jazmine Sullivan's Aretha Tribute. MacKenzie Thomas. Alex Newell's "Mama Will Provide".

[@ilonaweiss2872]

I loooooove this

[@lanceuppercut9715]

Great video bro! Look up a man named Joshua Ledet. He placed 3rd place on American Idol a few years ago and the way he uses his voice is insane! Pleeeeease review him brotha!

[@wood1907]

Could you analyze Dimash's runs in Diva Dance - Bastau?

[@joaquinleiva8280]

Hey Neil could you do a vocal analysis of tell me you love era of demi pleeeeeeease

[@ignaciolarronde]

This is amazing man. Thanks.

[@NamhlaDamoyi]

Your videos are the best thank you

[@soaribb32]

Can you make a video about Lisa Fisher?

[@lukerobeson9957]

Vanessa Amorosi at the 2000 Olympics pls... insane range!

[@emildepadua7817]

Can you breakdown Mariah's Lead The Way and Can't Take That Away. The runs there is pretty complex

[@blueskyes9380]

Love it.😍Please do Jazmine Sullivan 😩

[@J.D....]

Im super impressed with your recognition! Do you strong Relative pitch or Absolute pitch?

[@oneilgerald]

I have absolute pitch! And thank you so much!!!

[@whitedragon1355]

Try breaking down Mariah’s Someday with the operatic vibrato in the whistle register xP

[@bikramroyutsa]

You're so underrated

[@angelmorales7971]

smokie norful "god is able" you'll know which riff =x

[@luciadavid1446]

Gracias.

[@alicialovesgaming]

Totally meant to write this the 1st time I came across this, not after the... idk prolly 7th time watchin it 😂 point is, THANK YOU! This is obviously just my opinion... but this is the epitome of what a YT vocal tutorial should look like! Quick without skipping the important details, ENDLESSLY friendly and funny VC, focused and all that with a white board visual breakdown? Pfff please never stfu but take this subscribe yo 😂👏👏😂👏👏Its enough trolls and yuck on YT time to start takin the time to give praise where its thoroughly EARNED... like here! K bye 🏃

[@jonkim452]

Please cover Heather Headley - memory. She is BAE!!

[@BgJimy]

Can you break down the riff of Jonathan McReynolds in his song Cycles because I don't understand a part in it #Annoying

[@oneilgerald]

OOOOOH! THAT WOULD BE A GOOD ONE!!!! I'm making note!

[@BgJimy]

O'Neil Gerald thanks so much !!

[@cameronchristopher4]

Lisa Fischer, Gimme Shelter, Brooklyn, NY 8-7-14

[@Haittavero]

Are you familiar with Natalie Weiss? She's incredible (she can support C#3-B5-D6) and she has a KZbin series "breaking down the riffs" and she actually breaks runs down so it's much easier to sing. Idk I think you should check it out to get tips and stuff.

[@oneilgerald]

I absolutely love her stuff. She definitely was in mind when I created this segment. But I don't want to tread on her territory, so I'll just keep doing what I do and allow her to keep doing what she does. The more music education, the better!

[@Haittavero]

O'Neil Gerald Yes I agree. Btw your stuff is also great it's good that you have your own style.

[@Giri93067]

you are amazing!

[@stevenarmoo7011]

Do Avery Wilson's run of loose to win

[@vic_cresss]

[@rabbitsedits]

[@ThtBlkQrVgn]

[@beautyspotty9444]

Has that to do with pentatonics?
