Tag tutorial // Clouds on fire (Terry S. Chapman) - Barbershop quartet

[@chrisstancil9860]

Terry IS the tagmaster! Always find him at the conventions for awesome tag times.

[@sgtsonny]

Couldn't agree more :D

[@rellonmasters9865]

Lead - 2:58 Tenor - 3:47 Bass - 4:17 Bari - 4:47 Complete Tag - 5:17

I found the tag while scrolling on the internet, and sang it with my group (heartland harmonizers). It's so much fun

[@sgtsonny]

Awesome, man! Do me a favor and record your group singing the tag next time! I'd love to see it appear underneath the original video on the Holland Harmony Education page (facebook.com/hollandharmonyeducation ). Hope to see a video some time :)

[@tdvorak9987]

Dude you sing some really awesome tags, I sung like leaves will fall last night with some guys from my chorus (Great Northern Union) and it was so amazing. I would love to sing a polecat or tag with you some time at a convention or a international contest!

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much, man! I'm glad you like the tags. Please do record it next time and do me a favor by posting the video underneath the video on the Holland Harmony Education page (facebook.com/hollandharmonyeducation ). I'd LOVE to hear you guys sing the tags :). We should definitely sing a song together some day! Hope I'll make it to an international convention some day.

[@DanielMG97]

This is great! I got chills

[@sgtsonny]

I got the same reaction when I first heard it. It's a great tag!

[@overtone55]

Picardy 3rd with a ninth chord 💯 I'll record this and post it soon

[@sgtsonny]

Right?! What a great final chord. Sometimes I hate that picardy 3rd at the end of a song. It's so wrong at times, but here it was just perfect :)

[@TerryTags]

We should start a thing where every time there's a Picardy 3rd with an added 2 in first inversion (so the Bass is on the Picardy 3rd), it's called a "Terry Ninth" chord! lol jk ;-)

[@overtone55]

No objections here. The bass never gets the picardy third

[@dorisbrandon6968]

That was awesome Sonny.

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks, Doris!!

[@dorisbrandon6968]

@@sgtsonny I tried singing without snooking in that extra breath. You are right. I fainted.

[@sgtsonny]

Hahaha that's priceless :D. My kind of humor :)

[@dedihorasio1]

Wow, that's awesome. I loved it!

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much!

[@Pfinas.Hobby.ClipBox]

Bravissimo 😀👍

[@marialoretorojassilva3804]

Lo descubri y me encanta oírlo. Es genial y adorable

[@leoroest782]

Waanzinnig ! Trouwens, los van het geintje snug/sneek/snook een groot compliment voor je vloeiende Engels !

[@sgtsonny]

Dag Leo. Ik ben blij dat je door hebt dat het een geintje was :). Sommige mensen nemen het nogal serieus :D. Enorm bedankt voor de lovende woorden!

[@billevans5059]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Love it

[@sgtsonny]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Antilles1974]

Well this was rather unexpected...the bass part into a Picardy third and the song ending on an added 9th chord (in first inversion)...very interesting!

[@sgtsonny]

Right?! What a great final chord. Sometimes I hate that picardy 3rd at the end of a song. It's so wrong at times, but here it was just perfect :)

[@petermachado2022]

How do you record yourself for each voice and put it all together? 5:17

[@virtualbeck]

Niiiiice. Also, hi Terry!

[@TerryTags]

Mike Beck Hi!

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much, Mike!

[@BlazeAndGraze]

Why is your voice so perfect in the high pitches

[@sgtsonny]

Hahaha my ego is so grateful for your kind words :D. Thanks, Alex!

[@barbershopjohn]

Did you just compare a mixed quartet to an orgy??? 😂

[@sgtsonny]

I might have... :)

[@labrat8876]

Sounded like it to me!

[@oldguydoesstuff120]

I enjoyed hearing you try to sing that low A in the bass. It sounded like you were starting to slip into a sub-harmonic voice with some vocal fry. Now I understand why you always pitch things up into the ladies' range. ;)

[@sgtsonny]

Haha you're exactly right! I have to choose my days wisely to sing male bass parts. This was definitely not one if those days 😅

[@oldguydoesstuff120]

@@sgtsonny I understand fully! As a baritone/bass, I have to carefully pick days I can reach some tenor notes. You gotta sing with what you've got, not with what you want.

[@cristhiancamarena9534]

Nah it was just vocal fry, but it is good he let it crack naturally tho! Bass as well.

[@NoHomerS]

@@sgtsonny so was your reason for the transposition more about everyone in harmony or so you can sing every part? Because I know women that can sing a great male-range lead and tenor, so I doubt that's really the problem 😉

[@hyrumsorensen926]

Sonny what Program/equipment do you use to record the 4 part stuff? nice tags by the way, I love singing them, I just have poor quality i phone versions

[@sgtsonny]

Hi! You can find all the info of my hardware and software on my 'about' page: kzbin.infoabout I started with low end stuff as well. Nothing wrong with that!

[@SestroC]

Wow! very nice! I wish I had the tech to do that ... got no one to sing with. 8(

[@sgtsonny]

That's how I started out! I used to do nothing else than record tags by myself in my room :). Keep at it! :)

[@SestroC]

Well, I used to do a lot of solo overdubs, but my tech is outdated ... can't any more, until I upgrade, and now, can't foresee time to do it anymore... here's a sample... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIKTg2mQd6iIgtk . I did a series for our Sisters website. Starts out with instrumental - computer generated, then my overdub. (My composition of the Lord's Prayer in Ukrainian. :) )

[@gibbypeen5826]

Whats the harmonica thingy?

[@sgtsonny]

It's called a pitch pipe. It's used by acappella groups to blow the key of the piece you're about to sing.

[@gibbypeen5826]

Thanks sonny!

[@taligando.2895]

Don't quartets sound better when it's not mixed?

[@sgtsonny]

It's a matter of taste, I guess. Some people prefer a mixed sound over an all male or all female quartet sound :).

[@Cybernoid200]

Snuck*

[@sgtsonny]

I know :). It was a small joke I snooked in :)

[@amyrose3490]

Sneaked!

[@scottbrockman4327]

3:21, it's actually "Snucked in". Aside from that, I also do sing, but when I'm at Church or even by myself whether it's at home or at work. I sing the Bass part, just like my Grandpa and my Grandad, I have been getting compliments from people at Church, about my voice when I sing. My singing voice is amazing and beautiful and just a little romantic for any single girls or women out there, honestly :-).

[@michaellewellyn4268]

Scott Brockman No need for the extra "-ed", just snuck :)

[@sgtsonny]

It's actually 'Snuck in' :). I was just joking around in the video :). Good luck with the singing and the single ladies :)
