Actually, my attempts at self-harmony and chorus type stuff arose from Mark K's pioneering stuff here at JPF. I know it is done a lot out in the recording world, but Mark's stuff was the first time I had heard a home recordist do it all. I don't really plan out the harmonies -- I just try and sing higher and lower and see how it works out (LOL!).

Sometimes it works out and sometimes it defies description.

Here's a couple (I actually plan to re-do American Dream with a little more universal/timeless second verse pretty soon).


Take Me Where You're Going: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6805441. I go from one backing singer, to 2, to 3 and then 4.

Hey American Dream: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6496523 Tried to go for more of a big fat Rolling Stones type chorus.
