Topic: took my first video of me playing a medley of stones tunes

[bucky katt]

unfortunately i then listened and watched it    i cant carry a tune in a bucket, my playing sounds great but my voice sounds like maybe a camel being tortured    any of you vocalists out there have any suggestions on how to work at improving my "voice" ?

sounds stupid... but use a piano and a cheap tuner.

Then work your way up to listening to the actual song performed while singing...

Then play and sing at the same time.

Works great for most of my students.

sounds like a plan! we have a piano, just need to get the thing tuned.

tune your guitar for your voice

if my voice would stay in one octave it would be easy. see, i never really tried singing like this until a year or so ago and i guess 40 years old is a bit late to try to start singing

ROFL that would be a plus if you had a tuned piano.... no worries though, I use a keyboard but my actual piano is out of tune as well.

i'll get it done for the wifes b-day  i;ve gotten enough parts sold this week to pay some bills and do that. not knowing anything i figured it would be like tuning an 88 string guitar. i have a digital tuner right? i opened the top up and thought "damn was i ever wrong"

So.......when are we going to see this video?  You can't tell us you made a video and then hold out on us. We won't be cruel, I promise.
