    Let's sit back, take in and enjoy several masterful Chris Cornell singing lines while looking deeper at his sound and some of the techniques he employs to achieve that golden voice. No one will ever come close to singing or sounding like Chris Cornell, but we can learn from him, be inspired by him and let his influence improve our singing ...And it's just plain fun to dissect some of these lines. :) It was SO hard to select this first group of examples, so let me know if you'd like me to do another 1, 2 or more videos like this!

    His lyrics are a VERY overlooked aspect of us liking his voice. He knew his voice & chose words to show the best of it.Words w/ a big "eh" vowel is used w/ grit in many songs including Pretty noose,Rust cage,Hunger strike,Like a stone (the word "patiently")etc.He knew he shined on big vowels & chose words accordingly to kick our asses.

    First off, thanks for doing more Chris Cornell stuff in this format, really insightful. Second, I've basically learned how to sing by just trying to sing Soundgarden songs. I don't know if that's a bad thing since you encourage not imitating singers, but its an easy thing to fall into when you like someone's voice. Anyway, I think I've done okay so far but for whatever reason getting grit is harder for me on high notes. I can hit them clean but I can't get the right distortion, but that may be because my support system is underdeveloped because of my disability, I don't know for sure. But Chris is someone I definitely want to be like even if it doesn't sound the same. Thanks for the video, Chris, and on my birthday no less! (Forgot to add, but you should breakdown some of his lines off his Higher Truth album. Beautiful stuff in there)

  • @cwilkerson3710
    @cwilkerson3710 Před 2 lety

    As talented as a singer as he was, it's ultimately his instrument that gives him so much soul and uniqueness. He was just born with the right DNA, and then he harnessed it ... ie...many metal and rock singers can hit all these notes and even give a fantastic delivery....BUT, it's not with the same character he had inherit in his voice. His voice was fantastic and I was mesmerized since I first heard Louder than Love in early 91.
