    "Screams like a devil, sings like an angel"
    A truly otherworldly talent, Chester Bennington's studio and live performances both cut straight into you. They are so intense... So engaging... Painful and empathetic.
    In this video, you have the opportunity to walk with me through the isolated vocal studio recordings for "Given Up", one of Chester's most incredible songs. You will hear, in its purest form, his screams, his transitions and some production aspects that subtly enhance the magic coming out of this vocalist.
    Be inspired as you work through this with me

    The best thing about that famous scream is Mike said Chester was on point vocally that day and during editing he had to lengthen the backing part of the song around it because Chester held the note longer than he was supposed to, just epic

    "One of the best aggressive vocalists ever" Hard agree. This is also probably the best insight into any vocal performance I've seen on youtube, and you have the pipes to back up the words and demonstrate. Very well done all around. Respect my man
    edit: had to sub, your interaction is awesome dude. i think you are just an awesome person lol, and definitely an expert, aficionado, lover of music. dunno how to put it into one word, but your passion comes through in your videos and the way you perform. you touched on every aspect of this performance perfectly and you put yourself into understanding it, if that makes any sense. this is a great tribute to Chester

You are very good at demonstrating what Chester was doing with his vocals and explaining how he was doing it. Very cool to see you break it down in a technical way and then show how to do it.

  • @LPGuitar
    @LPGuitar Před rokem +4

    The thing I love about the long bridge scream on this is it's a top-tier performer operating at the very edge of his capabilities and still nailing it. D5 isn't just a high note for him to scream, it's (I think) the highest note he hits on anything in the LP discography. The only other D5 I can think of is a clean head voice, maybe even falsetto one he hits on one of the harmony parts in the bridge of In My Remains.
    It was also such a challenging thing for him to do live that he usually split the scream into two sections with a delay effect to kind of fill the gap. Whenever he actually pulled it off, it was always a big deal in the fan community.

    Your videos were the one thing I needed to break through the ceiling I've been stuck under for years. For a long time, I sang nothing but clean notes and was told numerous times that I have a really good voice, but singing the same way all the time made it boring to me. A few months ago, I started looking into how to do vocal fry and screaming, but I didn't know I was doing it wrong until yesterday, which is when I found your channel. Thank you for the lessons and thank you for saving my voice from any further damage.

    You're the *man* for analyzing this song, especially in a way that a baritone would have to approach it. We have to do what works for our bodies, and full chest is how a baritone messes up their voice for a song like this. But that's ok to do a different approach. It might sound a bit different, but none of us were going to have the same sound as Chester anyway. Not even most tenors.
