I'm a bit of a sucker for guitar mastery - which is why I have a huge soft spot for these guys ... RIP Stuart... a genius...

Had to listen to it for a minute to refresh my memory on it. Would never be me because I've never tried singing, but a passing thought of a vocal tutor has crossed my mind out of interest to see what my voice is capable of doing. Anyway, the main bit I remember from the song is the walkdown, but probably been used on loads of songs, so not sure if I'm remembering it from there or something else...I think it is from that song but couldn't be sure...3rd fret low E, 2nd fret low E, EM. Also I like the... E hammer on pull off to G, something again used in many songs. The song uses basic chords, until you get to the rock part - which I've not explored at this moment in time, but is probably the most artistic bit of it - other than that It's an okish song but very glam rock and well yeah.

AI Overview

G#4 on vocals is a high note, particularly challenging for baritone and tenor male singers, as it often requires a transition from chest voice to head voice and can cause strain if not properly supported. For female sopranos, it is a lower, comfortable note within their typical range. Singing it requires strong breath support and relaxation to avoid tension in the throat.

For male singers (tenor/baritone)
  • Position in range: G#4 is at the upper limit of the typical baritone range (G2-G4) and is often one of the highest notes a tenor can belt in their chest voice.
  • Technique: Hitting this note often requires transitioning to a mixed or head voice to maintain a clear, bright tone without straining. It demands good breath support and controlled use of air, which can feel athletic.
  • Tips:
    • Focus on supporting the note with your diaphragm, not your throat.
    • Keep your throat, jaw, and tongue relaxed.
    • Slightly adjust vowels to maintain a consistent quality, as they may naturally shift slightly when going higher.
 
Never get tired - still my all time favourite band ... and when Randy hits THAT note ...
which we've all done in the shower, of course <whistle>

Not the biggest Jeff Buckley fan but his voice on this is excellent.
