If you're a Beatles fan and want to perform Come Together like Lennon both on guitar and singing, it is important to master some key elements of this song. Indeed, the chest/mixed voice is essential throughout the song and there is vocal harmonization from the second verse onwards.
As for the guitar, the chords used are all fifth chords with the same fingering and the song has 4-beat curves, except on the chorus.
With practice and taking the time to work on each part of the song, you can easily start learning this famous Beatles song.
Understanding this register is essential to correctly interpreting this song and achieving the same vocal effect as the Beatles. Indeed, a good chest/mixed singing technique will allow the highest notes to be projected effectively. It is therefore advisable to work on your vocal technique using the chest/mixed chest to perform this song successfully.
To perform The Beatles' “Come Together” authentically, it is important to take into account the vocal nuances present in the song. Indeed, on the lyrics “shoot me!” of the verse, it is recommended to use a lot of air to create the desired effect of surprise and power.
Regarding the chorus, you have to project the sound clearly and powerfully to obtain the desired effect, especially on the word “toGEther”. By using the consonant “G” expressively, the singer can highlight this note and give more depth to the whole.
It is also important to note that “Come Together” features vocal harmonization starting in the second verse and throughout the choruses. This harmonization is one of the Beatles' trademarks, and it brings a sonic richness to the song.
To interpret this harmonization, it is important to listen carefully to the different vocal parts and to practice singing each of them independently.
If you want to sing along to the guitar accompaniment of the chords of “Come Together”, it is important to place the chords correctly without rhythm. In other words, you have to play the chords without respecting the rhythm, in order to get them in order to be able to sing over them.
All the chords in Come together are fifth chords, or powerchords, and therefore have the same fingering. This makes it easier to learn and sequence chords. As mentioned before, all the chords in the song are played in rounds, meaning they fall on the first beat and last for four beats.
However, there is an exception on the chorus, where the chords are played differently. The B5 chord lasts three beats, followed by the A5 chord which lasts only one beat, then the G5 chord which lasts two beats, and finally the A5 chord which lasts two beats again .
Once you have the rhythmless chords of Come Together placed, you can start singing over them. It is important to respect the melody and rhythm of the song so that the whole thing is coherent and pleasant to listen to.
To successfully play the chords of Come Together on the guitar, you must be meticulous in learning the chord sequences.
