How to sing like Paul McCartney

PeteMurphy

Hiya Ken!

I watched the How To Sing Like Kelly Clarkson 'Stronger' video, and there's a comment
underneath it asking about you doing a 'how to sing like Paul McCartney'
lesson. Yes! I would love this so much! I don't know why I didn't think
to ask this myself.


He's definitely a big favourite of mine - Maybe I'm Amazed.... and those
screams at the end of Hey Jude ("Jude Judy Judeh judeh Judeh
WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!") - if I could do a scream like that I'd be a very
happy man. Steven Tyler also does those McCartney influenced screams
(like at the end of the Aerosmith song 'Amazing').

Have a great day,
Pete.

I might just have to find the time to do a Paul video of amazed soon for a personal satisfaction :-)

Paul McCartney is also one of my favorite vocalists and he is brilliant example of a singer who has kept improving as he gets older. How does he do those awsome screams?? Looking forward to seeing you do a McCartney masterclass Ken!

PeteMurphy

Wow, that would be great, Ken!

Rod Stewart did a beautiful version of 'Maybe I'm Amazed' with The Faces. The bass player sings the verses, but when Rod comes in on the big sections, it's POW! Brilliant!

Yeah, Pete.

Maybe I'm amazed is also on my list of Practice Songs I sing when it's just me and nobody else is listening.

It's a real Power Stretcher!

Ken will blow us all away if he posts that one!

Classic stuff!, thanks for posting this Pete. I love the way Rod Stewart can make every song he covers completely his own. Another of my all time favorite singers:-)

Hands Down, Oh Darling;

Soulful and His Scream/Singing "When You Told me.." Absolutely Amazing

PeteMurphy

@freedom - oh yeah! Oh darling is one of his greatest performances. I love his vocal on Helter Skelter too.

@PeteMurphy,

And even on the really early songs he can be heard pulling off those brilliant, visceral screams, songs like "I Saw Her Standing There" "Twist and Shout" (Backing vocals).

Good call on Paul, he is fabulous. It is unreal how good his usable vocal range is, and he sounds fabulous around all of his areas. A pretty versatile chap!

About Tyler, you can also hear him sing Macca-like lines during the ending of "Livin' on the Edge":

5:25 onwards - Much like the "Hey Jude"-notes!
