0:00:10 > 0:00:13Hey, guys. Welcome to today's jam session.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Today I'm going to do True Love
0:00:15 > 0:00:19and I'm pretty excited, so here's my rendition.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44# I slept alone in the van
0:00:44 > 0:00:48# You brought me breakfast in bed
0:00:48 > 0:00:51# I wrote it down in a song
0:00:53 > 0:00:56# I see the way you dance
0:00:56 > 0:00:59# If I don't get my chance
0:00:59 > 0:01:02# I don't know how I'd go on
0:01:05 > 0:01:08# Cos the one thing I know
0:01:08 > 0:01:14# Is that it's true love at first sight
0:01:14 > 0:01:17# And I'm so afraid to say
0:01:17 > 0:01:20# I know you'll run away
0:01:20 > 0:01:25# And it's true love at first sight
0:01:25 > 0:01:28# Can you see it too?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34# Can you see it too?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46# I see your golden hair
0:01:46 > 0:01:49# All I can do is stare
0:01:49 > 0:01:52# So I look down on the floor
0:01:54 > 0:01:56# I wanna take you away
0:01:56 > 0:01:59# Oh, let's go anyplace
0:01:59 > 0:02:03# I just can't wait any more
0:02:05 > 0:02:09# Cos the one thing I know
0:02:09 > 0:02:15# Is that it's true love at first sight
0:02:15 > 0:02:18# And I'm so afraid to say
0:02:18 > 0:02:21# I know you'll run away
0:02:21 > 0:02:26# And it's true love at first sight
0:02:26 > 0:02:28# Can you see it too?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36# Oh, can you see it too?
0:02:37 > 0:02:44# Can you see it too? #
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Thank you, guys, so much, for watching.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Hey, guys. Welcome to today's lesson in the lounge.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You just saw me sing my version of True Love so I'd like to talk
0:03:03 > 0:03:05to you a little bit about how I arranged it
0:03:05 > 0:03:07to be different from the original version,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09because, as much as I love the original,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I didn't exactly feel like it suited my genre, so I
0:03:11 > 0:03:15thought I would take it, change it up a little bit, so it just
0:03:15 > 0:03:18kind of suited who I am as a musician.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20The original was totally different and it wasn't in that key,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23so just as a little sample, here's what that sounded like.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25# I slept alone in the van
0:03:25 > 0:03:27# You brought me breakfast in bed
0:03:27 > 0:03:31# I wrote it down in a song... #
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Now, I thought that was a little bit low for me, so I decided to
0:03:33 > 0:03:36just put it up a little bit, so...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43# But the one thing I know... #
0:03:43 > 0:03:46So, once I got there, I was playing the chords...
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Like, it's pretty, right?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50But what can I do to make it different?
0:03:50 > 0:03:51So if this is the original chord...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53MAJOR CHORD
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I decided to make it sound like this.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58MAJOR 7th CHORD It's a little bit funkier, right?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02And I thought it suited my style a bit, cos it had a more dreamy...
0:04:02 > 0:04:03A dreamy feel to it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05And then also, I was like, "Hmm, what else can I do?"
0:04:05 > 0:04:07So I decided to change it rhythmically as well.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Make it a little slower, a little vibeier, you know.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I just felt like that kind of meshed well with my voice and my
0:04:15 > 0:04:18genre, so just kind of some key points of when it comes to
0:04:18 > 0:04:21making an arrangement, definitely know your own voice, find a range
0:04:21 > 0:04:25that works for you, transpose it up or down if you need to.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Add some different aspects to your chords and then finally,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31if you feel like the melody needs to be adapted, go for it.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32And that's how you arrange a song for you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I hope you enjoyed this lesson and I'll see you soon.
