Transcript

00:00These four music students have never met until today.

00:03We decided to fly them out to Muzora Music Studios to see what happens

00:07when four strangers who are used to playing music by themselves

00:10at their own pace are forced to work together against the clock.

00:16In just eight hours, these everyday musicians will learn a new song

00:20and they'll work with a producer to professionally record it in our studio.

00:24The only question is, can they pull it off?

00:30I am retired security for a high school

00:39and I worked part-time for Live Nation as security and I still do that.

00:45It's concerts, so I get to watch some of the biggest names.

00:50I talked to Carlos Santana and I ended up getting invited on stage

00:56and I played three songs with Carlos Santana.

01:00Okay, I am a coder.

01:05First time playing guitar, hey Omar?

01:07Yeah.

01:08Yeah, brand new.

01:10I'm a little bit nervous, mostly about the interview, not for playing cards.

01:15I just watched your video online there.

01:18Yeah, my phone.

01:18I feel like I know you.

01:20No, it's great. I love the Beatles cover.

01:22So I run a company called PodWorks in Las Vegas and PodWorks is an internet broadcasting company

01:27but it's a pretty easy business to run, quite frankly.

01:31So I spend half my time kind of running the business

01:34and then I have a digital audio workstation off to the side of me.

01:37So I'll just rotate over here and work on my latest piano thing, which is currently Chim Chimney.

01:43Right now I'm an actress, writer, and producer.

01:51I'm always nervous to sing live in front of people.

01:54Fingers crossed it'll go well.

01:56Bella, I heard you're not feeling 100%.

01:59It'll be interesting.

02:00Yesterday, evening and night, everything just went and blew up with my voice, so.

02:13Yeah, you could tell everybody in this group has already been playing this song a little bit

02:17because we basically sat down and started jamming on it pretty much at the jump.

02:25Sounds too good, right, Jared?

02:27Way too good.

02:28We gotta wreck this somehow.

02:41They sound great.

02:43A little too great.

02:44A little too great.

02:45And we want to challenge these musicians.

02:48We want them to come out of this process feeling like they really pushed themselves.

02:52Or we could just stop and go for lunch.

02:54We're going to request that we change the actual feel of the song.

02:59I'm thinking something punk?

03:02Heavy rock?

03:03Speed it up a little bit?

03:04I'm getting down on the sunshine.

03:09It sounds really good.

03:12A little bit too good.

03:14Don't you think?

03:15Oh, here it goes.

03:16What's wrong with death?

03:17I'm sorry.

03:17Maybe we should change the style.

03:21Metal.

03:22I was thinking more punk, hard rock, and Bella thinking of where your voice is at.

03:26Maybe it's actually that grittiness and that grunginess.

03:29You sound like a rock star.

03:30I know.

03:31Do I?

03:31Because not from here I don't.

03:33I like punk music, so it's definitely different, and I like that.

03:37Especially with the rasp I have going on right now.

03:40Hopefully it works.

03:42None of us were expecting the change of style.

03:45Hey, maybe we should go back to the electric.

03:48Yeah, of course.

03:49Right?

03:49We're doing punk, right?

03:51Yeah.

03:52Actually, I feel a little bit more comfortable because now I'm going to be playing the electric

03:56guitar song.

03:58Something like that.

03:59A little slower, though.

04:03I'm up to the challenge, so I really like the fact that I'm capable of making the change.

04:09It's just a little, makes me a little nervous.

04:20Can we have a solo?

04:22Oh, yeah.

04:22We've got to have some solos in this, for sure.

04:25What do you think about making some more space in those verses?

04:31It's like a tighter, like a...

04:41Like on the C.

04:45We could even push, do a push on that G chord, Linda.

04:49Would that be fun?

04:49It creates this little breath in there, and I dig that.

05:02I like that part.

05:03I'm just worried about me getting to it, from it.

05:06You're the last of our concerns.

05:09You're great.

05:10That's good to know.

05:12What do we think, Scott?

05:13What would...

05:14This could be dirtier.

05:16Yeah.

05:17I don't know how to dirty this thing up.

05:19We could try something more modern, like the Killers, the way they use, like kind of those

05:24synth-y...

05:25We're still kind of messing with it.

05:27You know, they did the, we're going to do it this way, now we're going to do it punk,

05:30which is fantastic.

05:31Dirtier, I think it would be more in line with what's going on.

05:34More like a nasty, like deep purple organ sound?

05:37Staying on pitch, especially since I'm having issues with my voice right now, so that's

05:43quite difficult right now, hitting the higher notes.

05:46Have you ever played, I was just thinking in the chorus, what about a Motown beat, like

05:51a...

05:52That's that bad.

05:55Have you ever played?

05:56Huh?

05:57Have you ever played that beat like that?

05:58Yeah.

06:00Or like that.

06:04It went from punk rock to a Motown groove, and, and that was cool.

06:11Woohoo!

06:13That's hot.

06:14I like it.

06:14I love it.

06:16I don't want to wear out Bella's voice anymore.

06:19I think we're on a good trajectory, like I feel like this is coming together.

06:24Everybody's like qualified enough as a musician.

06:27We'll tweak a few things, but it's, it's pretty straightforward, right?

06:30You guys all feel good?

06:31Yeah.

06:34All right.

06:36So we're going to go in, we're going to check in on Linda, see how she's doing with

06:38the song.

06:39And I heard there's some changes they made to the original.

06:41So let's go in and let's check it out.

06:50Hey, Brendan!

06:51Hey, Linda.

06:52How are you?

06:53Fine.

06:54You're sounding great.

06:56Do you guys want to just start from the same spot and then dig in a little bit?

07:01We have a new rock fill.

07:03Yeah.

07:03So.

07:05Yeah.

07:06And then it goes to the Motown.

07:07Nice.

07:11I like that.

07:12I started very early.

07:14I wanted to be a drummer and in high school, they wouldn't let me play because I was a female.

07:21And when I got to junior college, then I started taking drum classes.

07:26And that's when I started playing percussion.

07:28And I just never lost sight of it.

07:30You know, through getting married, helping my husband and I, raising the kids.

07:43That's fast.

07:44That's fast.

07:45The nice thing about this experience is that we have people from all over the world, all

07:49sorts of different backgrounds, playing with people I wouldn't normally play with.

07:52Randy, can we try lining up with the acoustic on the...

07:56I know punk doesn't believe in dynamics.

08:02We're going to blend.

08:03We've got folk in this song.

08:04We've got Motown.

08:05We've got...

08:06Oh, damn it.

08:07Yeah.

08:07It's a stew.

08:08It's a jambalaya.

08:09A jambalaya.

08:10Okay, jambalaya.

08:11I got it.

08:13Oh, it's a lot to remember.

08:14That's where it came in, right?

08:20That was the right spot, yeah.

08:22Okay.

08:23I'm really hard on myself because if I'm not, then I won't improve.

08:28And if I think I'm good and flawless, then I'll just be complacent and I won't do better.

08:36So it's not a lack of confidence always.

08:39It's a push myself to do better.

08:42So it's a really fast right-hand part, right?

08:46Mm-hmm.

08:47So if it were me, I would be sweating trying to keep up with that.

08:52Can we try, when you get to the chorus, when you go to the punk feel, instead of going with

08:56the eighths, so the verse is playing like this, when you get to the chorus, switch to

09:03the quarters and then open the hi-hats just a little bit.

09:07So it's a little bit sloshy.

09:09Okay.

09:12Yeah.

09:16Can we try that coming out of the verse into the chorus and just see how that feels?

09:21Yeah.

09:21And then back into it.

09:35Beth.

09:36Oh, it's helpful.

09:37So how does that feel with the different kind of groove in the chorus for bass and for drums?

09:42Well, I love it.

09:43I just need to get it right.

09:47It sounds great.

09:49I'm excited to hear how this all turns out in the end in the final recording.

09:53And you're going to do great.

09:54What makes me feel the most nervous about this experience is singing live in front of people

10:10could mess up, probably will.

10:12So that's probably the most nerve-wracking thing.

10:19Hey!

10:21I heard you're having a little bit of a challenge.

10:24I am.

10:24The higher notes right now, my voice doesn't really want to go there.

10:28It's extremely difficult to control my voice as well right now because it feels so inflamed.

10:34I'm going to help you with that today.

10:36Oh, God, please.

10:37Okay?

10:38What I am going to ask you to do is, number one, drop expectations.

10:43Yeah.

10:43There is nothing that you can physically do to change the fact that you're sick right now, right?

10:50I want to power through and I want to learn from this experience and I guess learn how

10:55to control my voice when it is sick because, again, I normally don't sing when this is going

11:00on, so this is a new experience for me.

11:03I mean, I know you feel like this is it.

11:05I feel like I'm letting people down.

11:07Okay.

11:08You're not.

11:09But I understand that me saying that doesn't take away that that's how you feel?

11:12Right.

11:13I absolutely hate messing up.

11:15I get really, really hard on myself.

11:18If you are just going over, I'm sick, I can't do it, I can't hit the nose, I'm flipping,

11:27like when I go up, I flip, then you really got nothing to work with because your mind will

11:34defeat your body every single time.

11:37Right.

11:37What I've had to do when sick is that I have to sing songs differently, right?

11:43Right.

11:44So if I tend to hit a note that I normally hit really comfortably, but I'm sick, I can't,

11:48then I choose another note.

11:50Right.

11:50That I can actually hit with whatever is going on with my vocal cords.

11:55I want it more than I don't.

11:58Like, I want to know that I can do it.

11:59I want to know that I can achieve that accomplishment, you know, reach the top of the mountain.

12:04And so I just want to keep going to prove to myself that I can.

12:08You are going to be able to do it.

12:09Okay.

12:10But I'm going to, I'm going to rewrite the melody with you so you don't have to go to

12:14those notes.

12:14Okay.

12:15And we'll come up with something beautiful.

12:22Hi, I'm Scott.

12:24I'm here to help.

12:24Hi, Scott.

12:25Nice to meet you.

12:26Nice to meet you.

12:26How's it all going?

12:27Great.

12:28Yeah?

12:29Great, yeah, yeah.

12:30I'm not very skilled at piano, so it should be interesting to see just what's going on here.

12:35How have you only been learning for four months?

12:38Well, so, to be fair, so I used to be a professional musician.

12:42Okay.

12:43A guitar player.

12:44Okay, so you're cheating.

12:45Yeah, a little bit.

12:46So a solo guitar player, have a couple albums, three albums out.

12:49I've sold 55,000 CDs of my music.

12:53And was doing that up until December of 2023 when I thought, I want to be a lounge piano

13:01player in Vegas.

13:02I'm also going to retire at the end of this year as well.

13:05So my goal, again, is two years, professional lounge piano player, and that's what's going

13:11to happen.

13:12So that's been my journey so far.

13:13So I'm familiar kind of with some stuff.

13:17You have some musicality.

13:18Yeah.

13:18You've built that.

13:19Yeah, yeah.

13:19But not where I'm comfortable in just landing on songs and landing on chords and stuff.

13:25Exactly.

13:26Okay.

13:26I came really prepared.

13:28I think everybody, when we sat down the first time all together, we started jamming almost

13:33immediately on the song.

13:34So it was clear, we are prepared.

13:37We know the chord changes and all that stuff.

13:38I'm not worried about you at all.

13:40Yeah.

13:40So this guy's got it.

13:42We have no stress here.

13:48Hi.

13:50I'm sorry.

13:51I'm a hug.

13:52Me too.

13:53Good to meet you.

13:54Oh, nice to meet you.

13:55My mother used to be a music teacher, so that's how I started playing.

14:00But she was a piano teacher, so I started playing piano when I was like seven years old

14:07or so.

14:08But you know how it doesn't work when your mother is a teacher, so I dropped it.

14:14So how's it going?

14:15Could I maybe hear like what part you're working on?

14:17Well, actually, so first, I was doing like.

14:24Nice.

14:28Something like that.

14:29Instead of like.

14:29Cool.

14:30Every time I'm doing that.

14:31I like that feel a lot.

14:32Okay.

14:32That's great.

14:33With the, yeah, on the offbeat.

14:35So my mother used to have a guitar and I played the crap out of it.

14:42Until I broke it.

14:44Maybe I tried.

14:45I was wondering if maybe we can add a solo, but I don't think that the song's called for

14:50that.

14:50I feel like something like doubling the melody would be really interesting.

14:57Yeah, something like that.

14:58I was.

15:03Something like that.

15:04I don't know.

15:05Yeah.

15:05I'm not there yet.

15:07I think there's always a place for that.

15:09Though I also think with punk, it's kind of fun to play around with like.

15:12If there is a moment for lead guitar.

15:15Of course.

15:15Kind of making it a little sloppier than you normally would.

15:18Oh, yeah.

15:18Or maybe, yeah.

15:19Playing off.

15:19Oh, yeah.

15:21Oh, yeah.

15:21Really like dig into that note.

15:23Maybe get a pinch harmonic if you can.

15:25Yeah.

15:26Oh, nice.

15:26I might.

15:28That's awesome.

15:29One of the bands that I play with managed to have like a fairly amount of success.

15:37So, we could put a song in the radio and we used to play like rock, hair, hair, metal.

15:48But then grunge happened.

15:51It is nice to be in contact with other musicians.

15:56Because, well, I haven't been recording with other guys with like for like years.

16:00I don't know how many years.

16:02I dropped the music for quite some time.

16:07But after I get married, I don't know, the tickles started again.

16:12And I started playing again.

16:16You know, obviously you have the ability to play amazing lead guitar.

16:19Like you are a great lead guitar player.

16:21Just have fun.

16:22Yeah, yeah.

16:23Actually, I'm having a lot of fun.

16:25Which is amazing.

16:25And keep doing that.

16:26And you bring such a wonderful, positive energy.

16:29Oh, thanks so much.

16:30Yeah, and it comes through in your music too.

16:32And I think it would be amazing to capture that.

16:33I really appreciate that.

16:40I love the triplet feel or whatever you're doing there.

16:44That kind of halftime triplet, whatever it is.

16:46Can we do a few more of those?

16:47Yes, please.

16:47I want everybody to be smiling after they hear this drum fill.

16:51Like it just needs to bring joy to our hearts.

16:56I can feel right here when it's locked.

17:25And just the sound and the beats that I can get and manufacture.

17:34And it comes up sometimes are spontaneous.

17:38And it feels good to be able to do it.

17:43Look at her go, eh?

17:44That wasn't too bad.

17:58That was a good first one.

17:59I think we got it, guys.

18:10We got that verse.

18:11It's good.

18:12We got it.

18:13You're done.

18:14Let's bring him in with that chorus, sir.

18:23Want to go off that chorus?

18:25I lost it.

18:27One.

18:27Hey, can you give me one where you do the C walk down on the, so like the, just off the top?

18:47I just think that's what I did on the guitar.

19:00That's good energy in this taking.

19:02One take wonder.

19:15You're done.

19:22And that.

19:23So we push that.

19:24It goes like this.

19:31All straight, yeah.

19:34And then we do a coming down on sunny day and then back in.

19:40Yeah.

19:40And that's the vibe.

19:42First take, we'll just do a rhythm pass and then we'll overdub a solo after.

19:45Yeah.

19:46If you want, you're going to get it, man.

19:47This bump.

19:48You got this.

19:49Well, I'm not that good at improvising.

19:55You sound pretty good.

19:56You sound pretty good.

20:06I would say that I am a little bit of perfectionist because I always want to re-record it.

20:19That's great, man.

20:26I think we're good for that.

20:27You want to try a solo?

20:29Okay.

20:30Can we sort of like loop that part?

20:32No, we can't loop anything.

20:34We just get one take.

20:36Okay.

20:37Just kidding.

20:38We can loop it a bunch.

20:39Let's have some fun.

20:40It's really good.

20:49Let's find a way to get out of that.

20:50Yeah.

20:51I learned that when I can work on the pressure, I think that I could overcome all the nervousness

21:01that I had, and I don't want to sound like bad, but I am proud of how we all lead.

21:10That was my favorite.

21:11Yeah.

21:11I think we're good.

21:12Hey?

21:13I think we're good.

21:14Awesome.

21:18All right, Scott.

21:20Let's give her a shot.

21:21Yeah.

21:21Scottie.

21:43Yeah, man.

21:45You know your way around that thing.

21:46Four months?

21:47Really?

21:48You're a liar.

21:48No, it's hard.

21:49I mean, I don't believe you anymore.

21:52I've noodled with it, so I could do a shitload more.

21:55As a recording musician, I tend to go with the flow.

21:59Like, I'm not the kind of person that likes to do lots and lots and lots of takes, but

22:04every recording I've done, I can hear, oh, yeah, I made that mistake.

22:07I flubbed that note.

22:08But I'm okay with that.

22:09That's part of the energy for me of live music.

22:11It's like robot sounds there, man.

22:22Far out, man.

22:23Was that robot sounds you did there?

22:27Nailed it, Scott.

22:29There you go.

22:29A little too easy, though.

22:30I think you win for Lee's time in the studio.

22:36I'm sure you're an idea with the big dog here.

22:38Oh, yeah.

22:39I want to get dueling percussion.

22:41Oh, yeah?

22:42Jared and Linda together on, we got two overhead mics, so we need two tambourines, shakers.

22:49Yeah, let's get you in there.

22:50All right.

22:52She's got it in the shoulders.

23:12Oh, there he goes.

23:19Yeah.

23:20Okay, pick up a shaker.

23:22Let's do one more shaker track.

23:25I've watched Jared grow from before Drumeo, and I used to watch him do lessons poolside

23:34and take his drum set all over everywhere.

23:38Push over the drums.

23:41Get this drum set.

23:47No.

23:50I think it's good for now.

23:54Yeah?

23:54What about your voice?

23:55Just give it a little, just sing with it.

23:58I don't know.

23:59Just sing with it.

24:00Where are we?

24:01Bend down like water.

24:03Here we go.

24:04Okay.

24:05And I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

24:10Sorry, I'm going to put my throat.

24:11Yeah.

24:11Let's just do a, let's do five, six sirens.

24:19Okay?

24:20Ready?

24:21Let's go.

24:22Like you did before.

24:25Let him out.

24:27Girl.

24:31Just take a breath.

24:33Just take a breath.

24:34You got it.

24:34You got this.

24:35I know that for a fact.

24:38Do you believe me?

24:39I do.

24:39Great.

24:41When it's over, so they say, beautiful, rainy, sunny day.

24:47I know, shining down like water.

24:52Like your body language has to reflect the intention of the song.

24:56Otherwise, like I don't know what you're trying to tell me.

24:58Gotcha.

24:58Okay.

25:00The one thing, so you were overshooting a couple of times.

25:05You felt it.

25:05And I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

25:12Coming down on Sunday.

25:19You did great.

25:20Come on in.

25:21Come on in.

25:21We killed it.

25:22Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm.

25:44I know, it's been coming for some time.

25:51When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day.

25:57I know, it's shining down like water.

26:05And I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

26:10And I want to know, have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day?

26:23Yesterday and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard.

26:29And I know, I've been that way for all my time.

26:36So forever all it goes, through the circle fast and slow.

26:42I know, and it can't stop, I wonder.

26:46And I want to know, have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day?

27:05Yeah, I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

27:30And I want to know, have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day?

27:52Yeah!

27:56Yeah!
