[@marzzz1]

Thank you- I had wondered literally for years if that was Christine singing that "still hear you saying" high part in the chorus, and could never quite make out what she was saying until you isolated it. Well done!

[@mkahn1031]

Looking forward to more of your videos. Beatles, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, just might be up your alley, too.

[@nanettejameison1527]

Wow!!!! Really appreciate this breakdown because they are really close harmonies to be able to work ut. You did a GREAT job and saved me a lot of work and headaches! Thankyou!

[@kdeggraham895]

I can agree, saved me the stress and sitting at a piano for a few hours. :)

[@larissanascimento1035]

If there's one thing I really love, it's VOCAL HARMONY! It's wonderful, showing how all the parts work and also how complete harmony works! And it's worth highlighting the singer's beautiful voice and range! congratulations on the work! And keep showing this deconstruction of harmonies!

[@dimwoo]

Perfect! This is exactly how it should be done! Thanks so much.

[@laszloannamaria7843]

[@enigmaren]

Thank you so much for this. I can usually pick out the harmonies but this song is blended so well it can be hard.

[@FuzzballToday]

Very well thought out! Thank you for your Deconstructed parts of popular songs..

[@Astrosimi]

Amazing breakdown. You've saved me and a ton of bandmates a lot of time, and your vocals are impeccable. A few observations we've made during rehearsals for any other folks looking to perform this live: 1. Like @johnnyvlee said further down the comments, there is an overdub on "And if you don't love [...] never love me again". It sounds like Lindsey twice over but there's an odd difference in the intonations of the first and last few words in the phrase, so it could even be Stevie, so it can make sense to have your 'Lindsey' and 'Stevie' vocalists sing that in unison before splitting off into the melody and countermelody at "I can still..." 2. My band wanted to do the call and response during the chorus in an unbroken way, so what we did was have the 'Christine' vocalist (me, in this case) do the "you don't love me now" response, jump up to the high "Stiiiiiill hear you sayiiiing", then come back down for "never break the chain". It's a bit juryrigged but there's just enough space between those different parts to make it work, assuming you have the will and range!

[@singer497]

This was a fantastic resource for my cover band and myself. Tysm!!!

[@johnnyvlee]

If you listen to the isolated vocals, when they go to the "and if you don't love me now" section, there are at least two tracks of Lindsey's vocal. At least it sounds like they're both him, but they didn't just dupe it, he sang it again to make a fatter vocal. So if you wanted to perform this live, someone (maybe the singer doing Christine's part?) should sing that in unison until their main part comes back in.

[@d.j.2803]

Thanks for this. We are working on Vocal harmonies and THIS one is ONE OF THEM! We are a cover band in Oregon. THANK YOU!

[@bandguy0311]

This is a well done instructional video - thank you! There are many FM songs where it is difficult to tell which parts are being sung by Christine, Lindsey, and Stevie (except when Christine goes into the top of her range). For a band that covers this, I'm not sure it matters who did which part, as long as your band's lead vocalist can have enough continuity between when they sing alone, and whatever line they have to handle during the 3-part harmonies.

[@stellarox1]

Thank you this is very handy. My only comment is I would say that the lead part on the verse is technically the one that Lindsay is singing. Because he’s also singing lead on the Chorus, this makes the most sense. And if you remove the other parts on the verse and sing them alone by themselves they wouldn’t stand up as the main melody line. IMO. Thank you for doing this!!

[@kennethgodwin7769]

That is interesting to see the break down.

[@atonofspiders]

Beautiful voice and fantastic demonstration ❤️

[@artwise1415]

Thankyou VEVOnica. Each of the one of you ones. Really helpful

[@RicardoMontee]

Wow, amazingly done.

[@ThiagoKMJ]

amazing.... I'm actually doing a cover myself and it was nice to confront your harmonies with mine and they were pretty much all the same actually... congrats... you got yourself a sub

[@milkkkk5993]

oh my god, this was beauty

[@spacetweek]

Please do more of these!

[@johandebacker7779]

I think the lead vocal in the first line of the verse stay on G , ( Eminor ) in the second line she move to G# after one G , which fits in the E chord . It s subtle but often like that with talented bands like this . Great job !..

[@DaleTracey]

Outstanding 👏 would love to hear some CSN and Eagles

[@RaeWetherillMusic]

Amazing thankyou, this is an excellent resource

[@andyscott1718]

Thanks . Great job. I could never work out the high harmonies.

[@V.A.C.C]

Great video! Keep posting!!

[@MyUnderTone]

Please add more!!

[@PHILGYPSYBLUESCLARK]

Thanks for saving me form a massive head ache!

[@CreatePerform]

Thank you! You just saved me hours of work. This is so great xx

[@chloechadwickmusic]

Great thanks!

[@mrbigbosskojak]

You really are incredible. Love this channel !

[@ariamadrid1436]

Thank you so much for this!❤

[@middlesismonica]

This is fantastic

[@adambyrdmusic]

Very cool video! Watching this makes me think I can sing Lindsey Buckingham’s part but for some reason when I hear the actual song it sounds higher. Am I hearing something wrong?

[@adambyrdmusic]

Do you have any plans on doing more songs? Do you have any other social media sites?

[@theom2721]

Amazing work!!!

[@bayournnr]

I've noticed the comments for your efforts are about 80% "Wow! Amazing!", 18% "That was good. Now do my favorite song", and 2% of "You hit the wrong note in that one part of the song". Put me in the first 80%, as I love your renditions.

[@TracyLew22]

Thank you for sharing! Excellent 👏

[@brettnewton7442]

This is very helpful, can you do more Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles 😀

[@TempestWind87]

This is exactly what I was looking for

[@jaybazzocchi21]

This is gold ❤

[@jaxonrox]

Utterly brilliant.

[@israelfwm]

Thank you very much for that

[@taksyakboba]

thank you!

[@martawatermanfitnesscoach]

Well, thanks! Very helpful.

0:56 verse 2:51 chorus 3:10 outro

[@snowchild4220]

Amazing! Sounds fantastic. Can I use these vocals for a cover? I´ll give you credits :)

[@mkanatlar]

AMAZING VIDEO AND GREAT VOICE. I just want to add one thing on the technical side. Forgive me if I'm overstepping or hearing things incorrectly but I think you kept the same volume throughout the different voices. But sounds panned to the right and left tend to pop more and draw all the focus from the center. So it could sound better if you turned down the right and left voices just a tad bit. Such a cool video tho.

[@faridzahnoun1]

Sounds great, but you end your first line of Stevie on a C (so on the word 'rise'), which, together with the other vocals, makes it into a C major chord. I'm pretty sure that Stevie ends on a B, making it an E minor chord. Both sound nice, but if you want to give an exact rendition, I'm pretty sure you should sing a B note there.

[@Star-dj1kw]

✅✅ you’re so talented!!

[@fleafunkponce]

you rock ! 🤟

[@antonruben]

Gracias... desde Chile, sudamérica

[@annelieseschwarzer4155]

bravo 👏👏👏 más videos por favor!

[@alonsobrenes5236]

Love your videos! Can you please consider making something from The Cure? Maybe "High" from Wish album. Great melodies you will find there...

[@aenema22]

Thanks for this!

[@geoffleader4209]

Fantastic. Thank you! Any chance you could pair with Keyboard and isolate that as well?

[@almonkey1]

I've always liked the chain, its a song that owes as much to the personal dynamics of the band members, as it does their musical talents. would you consider having a look at the pretender by the foo fighters? thats a song that to me in parts is two different songs overlaid with each other.

[@israelfwm]

Could you make Say You Love Me by Fleetwood Mac??

[@JDMarche]

Are Stevie's, Lindsey's, and Christine's vocals separated by an octave in the harmonies, or are they in different keys?

[@vuvvyss]

thank you so much!

[@nothing-b2n]

Yes

[@bbqueen1632]

Can you do a breakdown of edge of seventeen by Stevie nicks?

[@yma1111]

5:07

[@DrWhom]

maybe do carpet man by the Fifth Dimension?

[@mitalijoshi366]

[@hemanthrajt4054]

[@Keeferz4Keeperz]

Except Lindsey is definitely singing lead not Stevie

[@buganemi]

It is wrong. Stevie Voice and Lindsey Voice are the opposite of The ones in the video.

[@cristinascripcari9398]

It is right the way she sings it, listen carefully.

[@chrismac2234]

Erm seek a better singer. No disrespect meant.

[@bobwilson3190]

This is all wrong. Stevie doesn’t sing the lead on this. Lindsey does the lead vocal.

[@kdeggraham895]

Thank you so much!!

[@jasonvincent2367]

thank you!
