  • For the musicians among us

    Just can't let this one go...

    Below is a video of Morgan James covering Maroon 5's song, "Maps". Rarely does a singer perform a song better than the original artist, but in this case, she knocks it out of the park!

    It's incredible how Morgan's vocal compass is so advanced. At 2 minutes and 55 seconds into "Maps", she begins to divorce herself from the very tight, de-emphasized chord progressions of the accompanying 1960's Funk music and begins to move to a more advanced range progression where she hits C#5 in "hey yeah" and then advances to E5 at the next "yeah". While still maintaining the tight chord progressions of her back-up musicians and also leading her back-up singers, she takes it to G#5 at "where were you" and ends the vocal at Eb5 in the last "map that leads to you".

    Just amazing! Hope you enjoy.

          Hi Kurt,

          Your promo video is great! I love the first song, Start Me Up, with the open G tuning of the strings to D, G, D, G, B, and high E lowered to D. The tuning is epic and then, the transcendence into a blues boogie is so awesome!

          The Stones are indeed the greatest band!

          Thanks for sharing!
          Scott
