Jeannie walks the student through an embellishment exercise in the genre of R&B. The exercise is repeated in four different keys.
- This next embellishment is a smooth,…sultry, R&B, soul sound.…It mostly uses an ooh, but it goes actually…from an ooh to an oh, back to an ooh, like this.…I'll do it for you, and then I'll point out…certain things to help you learn it,…and move forward, and exercise with it.…(smooth music)…(sings)…Key change.…
(sings)…The base tells you the note,…(sings)…along with the timing.…(sings)…Key change.…(sings)…Keep it here, it focuses it.…
Alright.…So, it's (sings)…Again, slowly.…(sings)…Now, that's not the rhythm of it, but those are the notes…and you're using an ooh, so we're…kind of already getting the vowel.…
(sings)…One, two, three, up, one, two, three, up, down, up.…(sings)…Here's the rhythm of it.…You hang, and move, and hang, and move,…by which I mean (sings)…Hang (sings) and move (sings)…Hang (sings)…Again, a little faster and in tempo with the track.…
(sings)…Again.…(sings)…It's like a handkerchief that's floating in the air.…This can be done, of course, in both octaves.…(sings)…If you're a guy, or (sings)…Repeat these instructions, listen,…
