george | beach boy/ beatle harmonies explained? Hello everyone, Hope you all are well! A bit of a strange question, but... Could someone please tell me any site where I could find more info on (or 'tab' for) the vocal harmonies as used by the beach boys and the beatles? I would like to know the secrets they use- I find it really difficult to comprehend what is going on when I hear vocal harmonies- they sound so complex to me, but I would love to 'see how it works' Thanks guys, ![]() happy holidays, george |

jaysg | look at http://beach-boys.aure.com/ it's free as far as I can tell. I suppose a good transcription of The Kingston Trio doing Sloop John B. would be a good starting point. I may look for that.

giustd | it's good ear training to try to pick out parts. may I suggest 'wait', 'eight days a week', and 'paperback writer' to start. try focusing on the tone of one voice so you can recognize who is singing the part and go from there. good luck |

jaysg | I looked at Little Surfer Girl briefly. The melody follows chord changes about 2 per measure and I noticed that despite the fact that it was written as 5 parts, mostly the notes were chord tones, i.e. root, third, fifth. Sometimes one line goes up while the "melody" goes down and so forth. As to anything Beatles, I recommend getting the large white The Beatles Complete Scores. It may not be perfect, but it's got to be 99%. I'm at work, otherwise I'd have a gander at mine. In that Ringo couldn't really sing harmonies, I believe mostly you'll find J&P doubling and three part harmonies with George. She's Leaving Home. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0793518326/ref=nosim/002-1970648-3371225?dev-t=D2Y5TUCCVJ7DGE&n=283155 |

The Beatles Complete Scores jaysg: When that first came out in 1993 I thought it was a lot more expensive than $50... wasn't it something like $125? I remember wanting to get it, but it was fairly expensive so I never got around to buying it. 99% accurate is pretty good... the Beatles songbooks I have are arranged for piano, with very little resemblance to the actual notes played on the records. --Thanks for bringing it up!
