Thank you! You’re awesome. :D
How do you do the crazy runs we hear in church they be on beast mode can
you do a vid like that or is what your describing in the two videos the
bases for all riffs and runs
Hey im 15 and i was wondering how long you should practice before you move
on to the next video? Will a week be ok?
love your videos!!!!
How many times should we repeat these excersizes? And for how long? Your an
amazing teacher btw😊
im a little sad. cos i can’t do it that fast and i don’t know why…. can
you help me out Paul… pleaaassseeeeee…
I think my breathing is off, I can barely carry the note lol
You sing with so much soul even when giving examples…
can u do a vid on riffs and runs jaw movement ?
Question: can you run up & down the scale smothly & quickly like Daryl
Coley and can you teach it? That’s not an art that a lot of singers utilize
or possibly even know or understand. Just curious….
the best teacher in this world.. your voice is amazing!!! I really really
love it, and your videos and the way you teach… thanks 4 share you talent
and your knowledge!!
LAWD his voice !!!!
The first video was easy but this one is so hardd😣😣
my gosh ! it’s helpful
Ahhhmazing! 👏🏻💋
Oh my GOD. I’m sitting here tripping for real, sir. LOL I’ve played
keyboard my whole life. I’ve stayed basic. I’m good at math. But who knew,
math AND music together would teach me Riffs and Runs???!!! lol
mind blown! 😁 thanks so much for sharing
Hey Man! Thanks for your videos. You have a wonderful voice! Love it!
Question: I love Brian Mcknight styles, so tell me, what i need to learn to
sing like him?(or closely hahaha), i mean, what exercises can i do also
this?
I love the GREEN SHIRT
Quick question. I’m trying to learn how to do these, but not necessarily
the runs how you’re teaching. I’m not sure if it works the same way, but
I’m trying to learn how to add accents at the end of a line on a song. Just
playing with the notes a little but quickly changing pitch. It’s a
difficult and frustrating skill to learn.
you are the bomb!!! I love this instructional video!
wow, very good. understand little English, but do the exercises. they are
very good.
OMG YOU ATE THE BEST AT TEACHING!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH
This is another good video, I like how you continue with riffs and runs.
Like different levels, well done
A few years ago I had a clear and solid falsetto. But I joined a band
singing in night clubs 6 days a week. I’m sure I damaged my vocal cords.
What I would like to know from you brother is it possible to regain or fix?
Or do I have to accept the fact that it’s gone forever? 😩
Btw, great video. I will be practicing these scales until they become
second nature. No matter who I disturb in my condo. 👊😠
😜
it sounds so beautiful, i’m crying
oh my shit!!! there’s more!!!
Wow <3
I just want to say “WOW”. I sing with runs and riffs already, but wanted to
do better. The way you broke it down was so simple, but very impactful.
Thank you for this.
I have a question. I’m a singer who had a good tone and resonance, but my
ability to do runs, riffs and licks are barely subpar. Is this something I
can strengthen to have clean more defined and cut riffs and runs?
nice
paul, is your website still up? I can’t seem to find it
Hey Paul, thanks for these videos, they’re super helpful brotha. One
question, I noticed you put a subtle “H” in front of your vowels sounds in
certain spots of the runs. Is that necessary as a pushing off point or can
the runs be done without any of those?
You’re awesome. This makes sense to my mind… I’m just too lazy to get too
into it. I know the basics. xP
Literally cannot sing to save my life but I’m addicted to watching your
videos. Your voice is so angelic and beautiful. Identical to Sam Smith ❤
Tysm this helped so so much!
Your voice is so melodic. Beautiful and smooth! I’m loving these lessons.
Paul, this is too cool. Thanks. I am a songwriter and after spending
thousands paying others to sing my music, I have decided to embellish my
voice and sing my own stuff too. I am praying that I can pull this off. I
am preparing for a show in 10 months. Whats the learning curve like to
learn to do some simple runs?
Great !!! thanks thanks!!!! big hug.
this video is just awesome…
Even the simplest use of dynamics will make your songs come alive, and the more you practice, the louder and softer you’ll be able to sing healthily.
