    Bro - you and I both are all about those First Inversion Chords (third in the bass)!
    Your vids just keep getting better and better man! KEEP GOING!

      I am a fan of both you and Forest channel. Please do an video about chord progressions with different inversion. Would love to hear the before and after different chord inversion.

    Fantastic!
    Maybe some (more) reverb for the Fiddle at the beginning ?
    Anyways, super calm and nice.
    Love from germany. 🙂

    Thanks chief! Good hearing you change up the chords from minor to major - I did that to a song I co-wrote with two other people and played it live in the more major fashion and it really worked and made it less dark. I felt guilty because I didn’t run it by the co-writers. But it was only chords changed.

    Man - this is so good! Final product was a vibe for sure, and so cool to see how you brought it all together. Love the addition of the fiddle!
    Flip the equation next time. Take a country tune and make it R&B?!?!
    I vote for “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Rait. Give it that “Anytime” vibe from B McKnight.

    • @forestwhitehead
      @forestwhitehead  Před 2 lety +2

      some secret trickery going on there :) just doubling the midi layer and triggering my own sample through impact to bring more to the chorus (6:55-7:08) you can hear the layer build on the snare if you listen close.

    Thanks, Forest. Your videos are very interesting as always :)
    If I can propose anything maybe it would be good to consider doing some series like one song but done in different genres, including very far from original? :)
    And a little bit more details about the process if I may ask . I am very curious how you extract vocal alone from original song and if you need to talk to artist for an approve or remixing is allowed? Or maybe there is a source where such single tracks are available for download and permitted to remix?

    • @forestwhitehead
      @forestwhitehead  Před 2 lety +1

      I find the isolated vocal on CZcams. I line it up with editing to a click track. Find the key. Upload the track and demonetize the videos because I do not own the rights to the vocals. Doesn’t look like CZcams has flagged this one yet but I assume they will. Yes all the tracks will be available or my production students to download and learn from.

    not a fan of Usher at all. He is typical. Not a fan of new, obviously over produced country like "Burning it down" Aldean. But your production on this is great but I would never listen to Usher. Thank you, Forest, for the help you are putting out there.

    • @jeffrey.a.hanson
      @jeffrey.a.hanson Před 9 měsíci

      I don’t think you realize his impact on music when this was released in 2001 nor how much talent he actually had. He could write, sing and dance…each at a professional level.
      Now, the production killed him for me, and a lot of country right now makes T Swift seem underproduced lol.
      I remember when Luke Bryan’s ‘Tailgates & Tanlines’ came out and people thought that was selling out. Aside from a few tracks, that album is country af compared to now.
