Hey there!

I was recently contacted by Luciana. A female vocalist, who performs with http://cirse.com.ar- same band as our versatile instructor/guitarist Gabriel Leopardi.

We have been discussing back and fourth how we can come up with useful singing lessons for guitarists. I am sure that most would agree that the guitar is an instrument that's easily combined with vocals (as a opposed to saxophone!).

Well I think we have now come up with some kind of recipe - so you can expect a first singing lesson here at GMC quite soon.

Luciana has also promised me that she, as our only singing instructor, will be active in the lessons feedback so we all can ask her questions.

Stay tuned!
--Kris

WOW, Kris you really have done it all. This is quite amazing. I never expected this. Thanks a lot!! I was looking at getting into singing a bit. A while back. Now i dont have ot look any longer. Its all at GMC!!

Posted by: MickeM Jul 2 2007, 08:44 AM

I'm so bad I couldn't sing myself out of a hostage situation. I HOPE it's really really basic singing to start with so I can catch up cos I'd love to be able to sing and have so for many years.


ooooh lalala

2nd that!!

Posted by: spdalton Jul 2 2007, 09:12 AM

Yes! Exactly what I need.
Can't wait .

Thanks Kris for making GMC such an awesome and versatile place :D

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jul 2 2007, 10:14 AM

yes it is - the first lesson is just a basic exercise which you can practice to your heart's desire - along with the lesson features provided. We also agreed that the lessons would be aimed towards guitarists - in other words simple.

Man I make it sound like we are stupid - that's not my point of course!

Wow this is cool!

Posted by: Despa Jul 2 2007, 10:20 AM

Bury all your gentials

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 2 2007, 02:02 PM

Amazing! Kris, how do you constantly come up with ways to make GMC even better?

Posted by: aerohit Jul 2 2007, 02:08 PM

Hey Kris you know what, one of my friends has written a song and I was supposed to arrange all the music for it. But the problem was, none of us knew how to sing. But seems that I am granted with a wish I never made. Three cheers for you, Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!

Posted by: Guitarman700 Jul 2 2007, 02:13 PM

Well, considering i have the most limited vocal range of any human ever born, this could be good or bad for me.

Posted by: Kaneda Jul 2 2007, 02:14 PM

Great idea, Kris!

But aw, why no "guitar playing for singers"? (like me)... Oh, wait... hmm... nevermind

Posted by: Gen Jul 2 2007, 02:16 PM

Thats an exellent idea!
I cant wait for this

Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 2 2007, 03:12 PM

Damn Kris, you just keep outdoing yourself.

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jul 2 2007, 04:28 PM

Hehe judging from your response this is something gmc:ers have been longing for...awesome!

I also saw that Luciana just registrered at the forum - hopefully she will join us here.

Posted by: icedern Jul 2 2007, 04:31 PM

Hi Luciana, good to have you here. Singing must improve for me, surely it can't get any worse.

Posted by: rokchik Jul 2 2007, 05:01 PM

GMC is a great place and it just keeps getting better!

Posted by: AIB234 Jul 2 2007, 06:01 PM

Kris, you are a god!

I can not wait. I was planning to start taking some singing lessons when I moved back to school but now maybe I won't have to which will save me looots of money!

Welcome Luciana!

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 2 2007, 06:11 PM

Welcome Luciana - two important firsts here - our first lady instrucor, and our first singing instructor!

Looking forward to seeing some lessons

Posted by: Owen Jul 2 2007, 06:26 PM

*Dances*

Oh yeah!

Awesome!

Posted by: Robin Jul 2 2007, 06:27 PM

Welcome to GMC. Cant wait to see your lessons. I checked your bands website, you got an amazing voice!

Posted by: Sircraigery Jul 2 2007, 06:35 PM

Excellent, maybe now that I'd have some theory and reassurance that my singing will get better, now I'll be motivated to work on it haha. I could sing myself out of a hostage situation, in fact I'd probably kill them with the ghastly sound waves exiting my throat.

Welcome Luciana (how do you pronounce that?)
Interested to see the first lesson

Posted by: icedern Jul 2 2007, 06:54 PM

My guess is Lou - see - AH- Nah

Posted by: muris Jul 2 2007, 06:55 PM

Welcome Luciana,looking forward to it!!

Posted by: Pantalaimon Jul 2 2007, 07:25 PM

Welcome Luciana! It's a pleasure to meet you! I eagerly look forward to your lessons and hope to maybe write some of my own one day! singing is fun!

Posted by: FretDancer69 Jul 2 2007, 07:48 PM

Welcome Luciana , looking forward to your lessons!

Posted by: blindwillie Jul 3 2007, 09:33 AM

OH NO!
I was going to name my guitar Gabriel, but I've learned now it has to be a girls name. And I can't name my guitar after a GMC-instructor, right? Next name that I liked was ... LUCIA! Now we have an instructor name Luciana. I'm getting a headache.

Apart from that, welcome Luciana
It will be very interesting to follow the progress of getting us to sing what so ever.

Posted by: MickeM Jul 3 2007, 10:24 AM

haha

Posted by: jammer91 Jul 3 2007, 05:59 PM

Cool, i hope its those metal screaming vocals (though i doubt it is)

Posted by: Owen Jul 3 2007, 06:41 PM

Most likely to be cleans, but some vid's on how to do raspy vocal styles would be awesome, as thats the styling people are most likely to screw up their voices with.

Posted by: mattacuk Jul 3 2007, 10:29 PM

well i REALLY need singing lessons, i sound like someone strangleing a cat

Posted by: kahall Jul 4 2007, 12:50 AM

I am not allowed to sing per U.S. law. Unless it is in the shower or my car and noone else can hear me.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 4 2007, 01:37 AM

Offensive Weapons laws? Or Strategic Arms Limitations ???

Posted by: Luciana Jul 4 2007, 02:28 PM

thank to all for your messages!!![u]

and Don't worry people!

we will begin with very basic lessons for warm up your voice, and then we can try different styles!!!

it will not be so difficult!

see you!

Your computer is going to get wet then!
