"Michael actually does come up with incredible guitar parts as well as drums, strings, piano, and whatever else is needed. He’ll sing every note and beat of song to his programmer du jour or the session musicians. In some cases he’ll multitrack his beatbox and vocal melody lines then build the song piece by piece, choosing the appropriate sounds to replace his voice. It really is incredible !!!!! On one session MJ sang each note of every chord and passing tones to a session guitar player. Insane. On a horn session with Jerry Hey, MJ sang each note of a 4 part horn section line by line. And, Steve Porcaro once told me story where MJ sang each note of an orchestral arrangement to the arranger while the string players waited in the live room. And his time, his groove is just out of this world."
