Whitesnake - Here I Go Again - David Coverdale - Isolated Vocals - Analysis - Tutorial
To me David Coverdale encompasses all the things that make a rock singer great and he's attributed 100% of his sound to his use of diaphragmatic support.
Do you ever feel like you're just not able to get the strength in your sound that you want?
In his video I'm going to break down why and show you how you can get there using diaphragmatic support and good open throat technique.
As we break down David's isolated vocals from "Here I Go Again", I'll explain how it was recorded and how we can safely replicate his sound.

Dude. Im 70 years old and I am never gonna really sing, but I have learned SO SO much from your channel and it has been 100% free. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your gift. You make learning simple! Peace

[@mcrchickenluvr]

David Coverdale might not be technically trained but he can draw emotion like nobody's business.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

Also, could you maybe do some isolated vox for Steel Heart? Like maybe Never Let You Go or Sticky Side Up?

[@kentamplin]

Indeed!

[@EK-yp8ip]

And emotion is what it’s all about

[@p_1210]

To me phrasing and emotion are everything!

[@uniquelyme7]

It’s hard to top David Coverdale....

[@drjag1155]

Once again you're right Ken. David is an awesome singer, his vocal technic is not perfect but his sings with his heart and passion... and that's make him a legend !

[@kentamplin]

I agree!

[@p_1210]

Agree and in fact the ones who have perfected technique either haven’t got the tone or can’t phrase to save themselves or have no emotion in their voice making them very hard to listen too!

[@rizkybayudwinanda3229]

I'm on another Ken Tamplin binge-watch cycle and didn't realise this video has literally just been uploaded! Anyways, you rock Ken!

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

DAVID COVERDALE HAVE A SINGLE VOICE. DON'T HAVE ANYMORE LIKE HIM IS LIKE A KING ON THAT VOICE. ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME. LONG LIFE FOR MR. COVERDALE 😊

[@720kla]

I saw Whitesnake in ATL back in the 80’s. David’s voice did not fail. Incredible

[@kentamplin]

Great to hear that!

[@budree4240]

Well, you inhale all that Tawny and .....

[@paulyoung4781]

Saw him 2 weeks ago absolutely amazing but he was struggling abit,but I loved the whole concert and he is still a legend in my eyes,love to of seen him back in 87

[@joshuaansley1361]

Coming from a long time of playing guitar for years and listening from a guitarist point of view doing the tutorials and listening to this videos has given me a whole new perspective of music from a frontman perspective.

[@jeffreydickson4373]

I can’t sing a lick, but I love watching these videos and learning. I find myself listening to songs way differently now and also listening to the production side of the music. Love this series!

[@TheAndrejP]

Nobody does drama the way David Coverdale does drama! Probably my all time favorite singer! Great analysis! :)

[@kentamplin]

I'm with you, Andrej. He's one of my favorites!

[@BokHog]

His singing technique , for me, was more noticeable than other singers who sang back then. The rounding off the vowels and his open throat technique is may more audible here than other singers. My point is, it made me aware back then of what he was doing, and how he was doing. I just didn't know there were words and methods that described it. I started to listen to other singers before and after him to try to "reverse engineer" the sound. Then, Ken Tamplin comes along and he's like " oh ya guys, I been teaching this stuff for longer than some people have been alive" and I'm like *mind blown*. I thought I was doing good picking some songs apart, and this guy is teaching it like ABC's. Thank you Ken.

[@williammolina9792]

One of the best rock singer of all time.

[@kentamplin]

I agree!

[@pedrovigo1788]

I am totally musically untalented, cannot produce any proper note, however, for some reason i am able to appreciate Ken's talent to distinguish all single sound with more aspects of it. What's more important his ability to clearly and comprehensively explain all of this staff in the way even me understand most of it. Congratulations and thank you for this education. I love this lessons.

[@84homey]

This tune takes me straight back to my teenage years - posters, on the wall, patches on my denim jacket and hours miss-spent in secondhand record shops looking for that next must-have purchase. Whitesnake rocked and I often had one sid eor another of my Live in the Heart of the City LP on repeat play on my Decca record player :)

[@dolabra7784]

I've always thought that Ken sings just like David! And Ken says that he is majorly influenced by him. Makes sense.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks, Exiled!

[@glennfrith2804]

People can say what they want but the late eighties and early nineties had some great vocals

So true. It’s was a fun decade. I was a teen in the 70’s but I really love the 80’s David Coverdale is a Rock God!

[@raniketa]

Man, this Isolated Vocals series is AMAZING!!!! Thank you for sharing that priceless knowledge!!!!

[@kentamplin]

My pleasure!

[@Moteridgerider]

Re.David Coverdale’s ‘breathy’ style, he is on record as saying that it was a deliberate choice to employ that approach ever since his debut recording Deep Purple’s ‘Burn’ album. As well as being influenced by the likes of Elvis and Little Richard, DC was into Stevie Wonder and Sly and the family Stone. When asked by Martin Birch what kind of style and feel he wanted, DC opted for the soulful approach, emphasising deep, audible breaths leading into vocal lines. Birch left these in the vocal tracks, even emphasising them with his knob twiddling. So, Ken’s emphysema jokes aside, it isn’t any accident that this characterises DC’S singing to this day.

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@thetruthhurts6652]

I remember my cousin who was a Gillan fan and when Coverdale took over he used mock the heaven breathing. Even myself I couldn’t believe they didn’t take it out. If you listen to highball shooter it actually ruins the song for me at the end. Steve Miller did a lot also.

[@MillerGenuineDraft1980]

Highball Shooter has some great high notes from Glenn Hughes

[@jamilgotcher5456]

Love this analysis of these legendary rock singers, Ken. Very interesting about you teach how to transition back from a falsetto belt and transition back into a chest sound. I wish I would have pursued singing instead of becoming a high fashion model when I was younger. I love music so much. You really know your stuff!

[@kentamplin]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kennymathersmusic5297]

I really enjoyed this video Ken. Coverdale was incredible back in the day and it's so interesting to hear someone knowledgeable analyse his vocals and technique.

[@BrokenArrowSchoolofModernMusic]

its so awesome to see a video that is, as far as i can tell, just a spontaneous one take, with no edits, and its just absorbing so much experience from an expert that no edits, blurps, blips, and chopping and cropping is needed. Its extremely entertaining. Im a musician and I'm not very ambitious about singing, but I'm finding these Tamplin videos extremely entertaining and informative. The vast majority of KZbin channel "mc's" you might say, although also entertaining, could never pull something like this off.

[@kentamplin]

Glad you enjoy the vids, Karl. Rock on!

It actually sounds like instead of singing the word TIME he sings the word TOM. David is such a bad ass. I want to be able to cover this song accurately for my own satisfaction, and thanks to Ken Tamplin, this video is a huge booster rocket of help for me to achieve that.

[@cher6932]

This is so cool. I have heard many civers, but it is fun to be abke to hear the originals . David Coverdale is so interestion.

David captures the feeling of the lyrics and delivers this song perfectly. when you here this and your feeling like your starting a new phase in life this performance makes you want to get in your car and do it. most people can't inspire you like that .david is a legend.great video ken👍👍

[@zfrmusic6663]

As someone trying to add a vocal element to my beats production, the most valuable thing about this ISO series is that it shows me what types of mistakes are permissable and what processing can and cannot do.

[@kentamplin]

Great to hear that!

[@zfrmusic6663]

@@kentamplin Thanks! It gave me access to a tiny bit of high range (we're only talking about belting to F4 at best, but I didn't even have THAT before). I would record dry and it would never have enough power so I gave up before processing. I am still going thru the KTVA course though coz I'd hate to depend of FX too heavy.

[@BrokenArrowSchoolofModernMusic]

its so amazing to hear this specific technical commentary on classic rock singers and songs. there is alot of this type of thing on guitarists of course from guitar mags, etc., but as far as I know, journalism, if you will, like this, is very rare and a valuable contribution to the history of classic rock.

[@kentamplin]

I appreciate that thoughts, Karl!

[@danield.7359]

One of my all time favorite singers. He must have a gigantic chest volume I think. There's a kind of bassiness and deepness in his voice that's totally unique. Too bad he lost his voice partially.

One of my favorites too, Daniel!

GREAT Song , and dont even have to mention Coverdale as one of the Most Iconic Voice in Rock . How David did lift up His Vocals in such a short time with Deep Purple back in the Day is just Amazing . Not even talking about the Stuff He did at the Page/Coverdale album . Peewhhhhh. The Whitesnake ,,Voices,, are soooooo diverse , I mean listen to the First Whitesnake Albums , and on them are also the original Here I Go Again (Saints&Sinners1982), Totaly different as how He does Here on the (Whitesnake 1987) AMAZING !! We do Cover the 2006 Live in London version wich is little different too, and also Dropped down to Eb instead of the Original in Gmajor But hey , I am 56 Now and do this stuff quite some time now . I deserve to slow down to Eb too . . Ha ha ha ha Anyway still Hard to pull this one off . ALL the time .

[@bbjazzmanjazzman7721]

Here's an amazing factoid..many Dave Coverdale and Joe Elliott fans don't know about what happened in the Recording Studio when Joe went for a tracking break.. and when he went down the hallway, he could hear someone belting out incredibly high powerful vocals that were obviously peeling the paint right before Joe's eyes..Soo,he went to take a peek in that famous room and lo and behold..it was David Coverdale belting out the window shattering vocals..Joe was immediately stunned..his jaw damn near went through the floor..he picked his jaw up..Joe told the interviewer"I silently slipped back through the door and almost made up my mind to just hang up My singing career." Joe was probably thinking, what the Hell do I have to offer if my singing and vocals aren't even half of what I just saw.. and on top of that..I have a producer that is not only helping me fake track fill my vocals, but showing me that I really didn't know how to tap my potential..sorta like a deaf leopard screaming in the dark for no reason because it can't hear the actual need to be territorial.. Mutt Lange is a highly talented producer.. maybe he can't sing in key, but he has the business mind know how to convey to any band project, what will turn them into GOLD.. and No.. they may end up arguing with Mutt at first, but give him just one shot.. and the rest can be career changing and Fame..Or if you are a keen observer to Mutt's magical bag of Studio tricks.. You can learn to tap your own resources and.. Make it Big time..

[@theonlyredspecial]

I loved the original version of this track before he dyed his hair blonde, started dating a super model, got surgery on his face and moved to America. I loved the next gen 1987 album and the remake of this was very commercial but the original band with moody and Marsden was such a great blues rock band. Thanks again ken for the analysis... i do agree from hearing him lately. His voice is shot which is sad really. I grew up listening to him all my life. Im not far from 50 now. I grew up listening to all these iconic singers. Sad to hear them struggling but until I watched you over the years I thought it was just simple aging rather than not doing things right and in the end paying for it.

[@christophjauck4470]

Excellent! Thank you, Ken!

[@matthweneldon8694]

This is an absolutely fascinating analysis. The proof Mr. Tamplin is right about preserving a voice is his own, for he sounds, in my estimation, just like he did on Axe to Grind. I will NEVER be able to sing, but I thoroughly enjoy watching you Mr. Tamplin! Thank you yet again.

[@kentamplin]

Glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year! 🎉🥂🍾🎈🧨

[@zfrmusic6663]

With today's processing power, if someone like Freddie or Dio collabed with a top electronic producer, the quality would be dream-like! There are great singers who write good songs today but tech has made ppl take too many shortcuts and reduced the emotional punch compared to old music.

[@kentamplin]

Indeed!

[@alkeegan9915]

I'm glad that it wasn't around back then tbh as the trends in vocal production particularly in the last 10 to 15 years has been to standardise and polish EVERYTHING in a mix so there's no room for errors or little imperfections that actually contribute to the feel of a sing. I know this might sound counterintuitive but not everything needs to be in tune and pitch perfect all the time if that makes sense? Just my 2 cents

[@timothyholmes4588]

yea the performances were actually just the way they should be. a little " mistake" here and there is natural and in the mix they sound better than perfect. because they are perfect

[@Dzqnn]

I love Coverdale as well! Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Queen, Def Leppard and almost all of those 70/80s bands are my inspiration in music! For a 26 years old kid, I love them because of my father (he's 55 now) which grew up with them, especially Purple, Queen, Leppard, etc. :)

[@kentamplin]

You HAVE to do a video on Ian Gillan from Deep Purple doing “Highway Star.” His screams on that song are otherworldly. He had a huge influence on rock singers who came after him.

I just bought my daughter her first guitar she’s nine. Yamaha Electric acoustic. And a PA system. I really love your channel, partly because you do it out of passion and to inspire people. You’re always upbeat you seem like a very humble person for how talented you are. You and I are the same age. And you share a birthday with my grandmother and my daughter. It’s meant to be LOL.

[@callbackdons]

Wow. What a great dad. In high school I had to buy my band's PA system myself ..a consequence was that my guitar was junk. Even then, my parents kicked us out of the garage the first time we tried to practice there because my step dad "wanted to take a nap." Not kidding. Fortunately the bass player's parents were cool and let us use their basement. (Which was actually nice because it was air conditioned and heated.) Later I heard his mom say "well, when they're here I know where they are, and I know what they're doing."

[@stevechristie2660]

Ken,you are one of the best vocalists ever !

[@claudevieaul1465]

It's one of those instantly recognisable voices: the phrasing, the warmth, that huge slow vibrato. He's always used that breathing sound as far as I know, even on his earlier stuff like Northwinds. Of course he smoked like a chimney (he still might, don't know...) but I think he rather enjoyed that raspy intake of breath and it's become a sort of trademark thing 😉

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for weighing int, Gerald!

[@Nissardpertugiu]

He stopped to smoke about 22 years ago

[@p_1210]

One of the best! I think the perceived flatness on the lyric ‘born’ is a deliberate thing he does much like a blues based guitarist does when they just ever so slightly bend a note sharp or flat! And the high note on ‘go’ was exactly what he was going for imo...I thought the vocal was absolutely flawless in a human way if that makes sense. His tone and phrasing cannot be surpassed...cheers

[@kentamplin]

Happy New Year! 🎉🥂🍾🎈🧨

[@brainrussell6811]

Ken, are you familiar with the story behind how this vocal was recorded? This comes directly from Keith Olsen circa 1987/88... David was in a deep funk after having had surgery on his cords. The surgeon had told him that his singing days were over. Olsen invited him over to the studio to hang out and for support. Keith had set up a special mix in the cans and told David to give it a try. All that "emphysema" and sucking shit that you're hearing in the the beginning is a mixture of the surgery and David's hesitancy. Long story short, David quickly gained confidence and knocked out that 1987 vocal that night. Reading up on this today, there's so much BS surrounding this song... amazingly, Keith didn't seem to be mentioned at all. Also, when I first heard the song on the radio, I instantly knew who did the solo... had to be Dan Huff. Later on, still via the radio, though it was note for note, I knew the solo had been swapped out. Sure enough, Andrian Vanderburg(?) was credited with the solo...BS! Olsen hired Huff to do the original solo for the record which became the single. Obviously, as David's voice was dead prior to Olsen's aide, so was the new single/version... thus the single was recorded prior to adding it to the official record. Egos, man. Shameless. Thank you for finally being able to hear what Olsen and David were able to pull off on the wondrous night.

1000% Right about that Diaphragmatic Support!! This is a problem of mine that I didn't used to have, until I got in an accident/sick, had to have dental surgery, with a plate put in the top/front of my palate, and no top teeth anymore... So I lost 35 lbs, in about 6 weeks, from being bed-bound and sedentary, not able to eat food, and I'm soo much WEAKER now, while trying to recover it's ridiculous! My "core", abs, and diaphragm used to be the strongest part of my body... (NOT bragging BTW) That's saying a lot for a 35 yr old country boy, that's 6'4" and 220 lbs, who could benchpress 350 lbs.... Now, I'd be lucky to press 120 lbs, lol. My abdominal support is atrophied even worse. So, once I'm healed, you're gonna have you work cut out for ya, when it comes to teaching me anyway, Ken. I have faith in you tho! And the Lord is my Helper, as well, so I fear nothing! God Bless you Brother Ken, thanks for everything!

I am a total rocker but there is something about John Denver’s powerful and beautiful voice that puts him in my top 5 favorite “Rock”vocalists of all time.

Me too!

David Coverdale woohoo woohoo. I love him. My mother is going to be 82 years old and she thinks he's sexy she's not into rock music but remembers this video from MTV. Although she says he looks old now like her 🤣😂

[@kentamplin]

Hahaha!

[@l.t.w8985]

@@kentamplin I knew you'd get a chuckle out of that but you can't tell her I told you hahaha

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

His confidence instills admiration. Women must have got in line for him...lol!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the visit. Rock on!

[@Cyberfender1]

Wow Ken, I like the same singers you do.!

[@ViniciusSGodoy]

I'd really like a song recorded by your cousin, Sammy, during Van Hallen days 🙌

[@kentamplin]

Happy New Year! 🎉🥂🍾🎈🧨

Alex-grey inspired t-shirts?? They are so amazing!!!

[@Mr09stang]

Don't know if it is worth another video but it would be interesting to compare this version(1987) to the 1982 version from Saint and Sinners album .

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@wzuiderveld82]

I think he's using "the vocal trick" with the Dolby 361 and modded Cat 22 card to brighten his vocal tone. This would explain the excessive breath volumes on most of his vocal recordings. Anyway, I just love it!

[@kentamplin]

That's an expensive breath emphasizer!

[@wzuiderveld82]

@@kentamplin yes it is, although nowadays you can get one for a couple of hundred dollars. They still rock and I haven't found a decent plug-in which does the job with the same amount of perfection.

[@dannytravis7118]

What about steelheart I will never let you go. The first time I heard that song just blew me away. I think it's probably my favorite song.

[@littleminna]

Funny thing is that back in the day I was never into rock, I was more of the pop r&b of back in the day, until in more recent years. I think it started with Journey-Don't stop believing after hearing it in a movie. But I prefer the old 80s rock, but then not everything. Some songs, and this particular one I find really cool. Really cool to hear you break down everything in their singing. Really cool.

[@kentamplin]

👍😀

[@diegoignacio4923]

Love this series. I would love to see your take on "Judgment Day" and, why not, for some John Sykes Blue Murder "Valley of the Kings" 🔥🔥Have a great 2021 Ken!

[@kentamplin]

Happy New Year! 🎉🥂🍾🎈🧨

[@sherriavestal8599]

Learn something new in almost all your videos. Love his voice. Thank you keep up the rocking job! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@kentamplin]

Glad to hear that, Sherria!

[@ronaldvanderwerf]

Hi Ken, great work! Found also today a isolated vocal of 'Born to Run' on youtube, interesting for you to check out i think. There's also quite the inhale / exhale action going on, that you normally can't hear. Keep up the good work! Grtz

[@kentamplin]

Will do!

[@BokHog]

You could dissect this song for hours. It's amazing how different it sounds today vs the 12 year old me heard it watching the video. Haha.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for listening! Rock on!

[@mitchcarson6309]

It was nice to hear him not cut and paste parts of the song. It’s clear that his smoking had something to do with that roughness to his voice but it would have been nice to hear how he would sound if he hadn’t abused his voice as much. Gifted for sure. And pretty sure he had a full set of dentures. 🤷

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for listening!

[@antonoat]

I swear Ken listening to you it's like the ears are more important than the voice, lol. Guess that's the trick, well almost! Since discovering and watching your channel I'm using my ears far more!

[@kentamplin]

Awesome!

[@andylong7759]

Great Video! A KISS Paul Stanley video would be a great one, too.

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@FunkymetalBL]

Hey Ken! Great channel 👍🏼. Two words - Steve Perry! 🎙. Rock on!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks! You too!

[@JamminJere]

Ken, that joke was on an old Cheech and Chong record in the 70’s.. Hi...my name is R. Zimmerman... always laughed at that one. Ok.. back to the serious lesson stuff.. good one too by the way!!!

[@kentamplin]

Jerry alderfer 👍

[@johnmoran836]

Can u please find and do Steve perry singing Open Arms please?

[@kentamplin]

I might!

[@johnmoran836]

I hope u do, do it. Thank you. If u can't find that can u do round and round by ratt or lay it down by ratt?

[@nortski78]

It probably depend on whether or not he can get hold of the isolated vocal tracks.

[@vocalsbycyrus]

His voice is very interesting, thanks for introducing him to me

[@kentamplin]

Our pleasure!

[@monstersaint]

Excellent video, cousin of Sammy Hagar. Love the insight on "ah" vs "ee" and vowels in general.

[@kentamplin]

Glad you enjoyed it, Russell!
