Ringmasters - Yes Sir, That's My Baby

[@jjshock20]

It was a privilege and an honor to lose to you guys in Nashville! Lol. You really are amazing! 17th doesn't sound as bad when the winner sounds as awesome as you guys do. Keep rockin it!

[@TyneFan09]

I saw and sang with these guys at the LABBS convention last autumn. A really friendly quartet, as well as a really good one!! :)

[@eddyto12]

haha these guys performed at my school! they're great! lol

[@birrynguyen]

huge huge fan!

[@mWahlgren]

This is a David Wright arrangement. But with a few tweaks ;)

[@cadensifert1123]

Nice!

[@birrynguyen]

oh man you guys are good. please keep competing!

[@nwmusic06]

there's not overtones really (well, there are but that's not what you're hearing), it's just the chord. it's not barbershop one, you can hear the dissonance between the bari and the lead. it's some 9th or 11th chord or something.

[@Miraz321]

omg i had a workshop wit dem 2day in skool there sooooooooooooooo hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vanish129]

Overtones at 2:10 - 2:19

[@jhernandez16]

i feel like the last chord they could slide up to a different voicing or something. That would be really cool. Like Tim Warick in the song "I Wanna Be Like You"

[@mhconnor]

their lead, Rasmus Krigström does alot of their own arranging... Highly educated musician.

[@blynk23]

yes, does anyone know which arrangement this is?

[@vanish129]

True, but in this one, if you concentrate enough... You're Right though!

[@GeraldLUpdyke]

man, when they hit that 9th chord, i'm hearing the bass note up an octave and i don't think it's being sung by any of the other guys. overtone much?

[@jibcraip]

hmmm The 7th dominant on the chord you wrote sounds wierd to me...if you want a 7th it should be more a Maj7 ^^but anyway you're right the add9 doesn't sounds barbershop at all BUT in that case it sounds great because it is not expected !

[@jibcraip]

are you serious ??? The add9 is waaay better and they ring it so well...I prefer add9 to the too much used dominant7Th (in my opinion...) and I prefer add9 without using the min7th...well their version rocks !!

[@mWahlgren]

David Wright, with a few tweaks.

[@roybringus31]

who is the arranger?

[@AnnieMac608]

David Wright

[@jakethewoz]

Man, that's neat. I would've tried to put the bari as D-G-B lead as F#-E-E# so you can throw in a seventh. or vice versa: Bari D-E-B Lead F#-G-E# The add nine, as cool as it sounds, doesn't seem as cool as the old 7th. Maybe a (real) nine, with a dom7th would be cool, too.

[@blynk23]

hmm...no doubt...but this is almost the exact same arrangement that Four Voices sings except for a few different chords...

[@jakethewoz]

It sounds cool, but it doesn't sound quite barbershopy enough to me. It sounds kinda like Whitacre or something. Lol we should post multitracks of it both ways, and let people vote!

[@joshywashy3453]

Jakob Do you not hear all the dominant 7th chords???

[@jakethewoz]

@@joshywashy3453 Man, 15 years ago, I thought I knew everything. An add9 chord doesn't make something sound like Eric Whitacre 😅 I absolutely adore Ringmasters, and I wouldn't change a thing about their modifications to the David Wright classic.
